Here’s the story from Matt & Maureen:

Matt: I’m in my fishing hibernation period now… dreaming of the days of summer when I can hand you a fresh one.

But on Friday, January 13th, I can hand you a freshly cooked and absolutely delicious FISH TACO that I, with a LOT of help from dedicated FISH for TEETH volunteers, will be cooking up for you.

They are made on a 10″ flour tortilla, with Alaskan rockfish caught by yours truly, served up with seasoned local cabbage from Heritage Farm, salsa from Pablito’s Taqueria, cheese, and a squeeze of lime.  YUMMY!!!

Fish Taco sales has been our biggest fundraiser for Fish for Teeth, which has bee
n patiently waiting for this opportunity to bring a DENTAL VAN, with TWO DENTAL CHAIRS and a team of LOCAL VOLUNTEER DENTAL PROFESSIONALS that will be FIXING PEOPLES TEETH FOR FREE on Friday and Saturday.  (The van is booked this time, but we hope to bring it back to San Juan Island on a quarterly basis)

This angelic dental van is operated by MEDICAL TEAMS INTERNATIONAL, a faith-based organization out of Redmond, WA.  Fish for Teeth is covering the fee to bring the van here for two days, Medical Teams International provides the van, van staff, and all supplies, and our wonderful local dentists and their assistants are going to work on the mouths of those who cannot otherwise afford dental treatment.

The Fish for Teeth Team decided to take care of dental emergencies first, but hope to bring the van back on a regular basis.  Our goal is to improve the overall dental heath of San Juan County by providing free dental treatment, prevention and education.

Hope to see you there!
