Have you shared this yet?

On Veteran’s Day (Nov. 11) Shoreline’s dental hygiene program will host Smiles for Veterans, a day where veteran’s and their families who most need it can receive free dental care. The supplies needed are costly, but the group has set up an indiegogo to raise funds. So what can you do? Donate if you can, or help spread the word so others can donate! The site can be found here and sharing tools for social media platforms can be found on the page. The care provided can help prevent oral diseases from becoming systemic and causing larger, more serious health problems from happening.

Thanks for all of your help!

Windows tip…

As an alternative to using the Alt key & Print Screen/PrtScn Key to capture a screen shot, you can also use the Windows Snipping Tool.  It’s a built-in feature of Windows 7. To use the tool – launch it by clicking Start, All Programs, Accessories, and Snipping ToolWhen it opens – your screen will go pale whitish and you will see a crosshair tool. Then simply put your cross-hair where you want to start and then left- click/drag the tool over anything you want to snip (cut out) – then release. It’s similar to the cropping tool in photo-editing software. You can snip error messages, text from the web or documents, pictures, etc. There are also tools that cut in different shapes. Once your snip is captured, you will get a pop-up window that gives you the option to copy the snip and send it via email or copy and paste it to a word document, email, etc. It’s a very handy tool to have!
