Happy Holidays!!
Wow, it is that time of year again, the time when every minute of the day is “booked” with holiday chores. There are gifts to buy, cookies to bake, cards to send, and parties to attend. Sometimes it is easy to forget what the spirit of the holidays is all about. I am so proud of the many families that have brought in food for the Harvesters food pantry. Some of our needed friends will have more to eat this season due to your generosity.
The staff at Hechler Orthodontics warms my heart as well. We have “adopted” three red bag children this year. The gifts we purchase for them may be the only ones they receive this year. The staff members all go out shopping for just the right size pair of shoes, perfect coat or even a toy the child has requested. All of these items go into a large red bag that Judy hauls to the collection point. I think we get more out of the experience than the kids do.
I hope all of you have a joyous holiday season full of family fun and blessed memories.

November Headline: Halloween Candy Exchange!
On November 2nd, we held a candy exchange in our office. This allowed families in the community to bring the excess Halloween candy that they had collected a couple of days before and leave it in our office to be sent to the troops. A giant card was made and each child signed their name. The card was then sent to the troops along with the candy. Two hundred forty-two families presented us with over 950 pounds of candy! This was the most candy collected at any of the three candy exchange sites in Kansas City!
The event not only collected candy for the troops but money was donated to the Smiles Change Lives Program. Smiles Change Lives is a non-profit organization that provides orthodontic treatment to kids from low-income families in the community. We treat some of the Smiles Change Lives children of Kansas City in our practice. It is always a joy to see their smiles transformed along with their personalities. You can learn more about this program at http://www.smileschangelives.org/.
This is the 2nd year that we have participated in the candy exchange with amazing success. We have had some fantastic testimonials. We are honored to be able to participate in such a wonderful program with such wonderful children.
We also gave away prizes and fun children’s items to all who participated. We had a raffle drawing for 2 AMC movie passes and an AMC gift card. Congratulations to Ben and Connor, the winners of the drawing! Thank you to all who participated. It was a great success!
