The 2026 MOM-n-PA was very successful - close to 1400 patients were seen over two days, and approximately $1.5 M in free dental care was provided! Thanks to all the Morning Star Rotary volunteers who helped out during this event. Volunteers are the engine that drive this mission, so all help was truly appreciated!
Next year event will be in Harrisburg June 11-12 at the Farm Show Complex.
PLEASE NOTE: Members are asked to bring a side, a salad, or a dessert. Please RSVP to Shawn at (shawnbariana@gmail.com) and let her know what you want to bring so we don't end up with all desserts.
