Look out for the continuing AO International Scrub Sale! Articulator ● http://students.ao.org April 2010 ● Volume 1, Issue 32 ● Alpha Omega Alpha Omegans around the world are constantly contributing their time and finances to worthwhile causes. Community service is an integral part of what makes Alpha Omega great; keeping consistent with AO's Global Oral Health Front Initiative - reducing the debilitating nature of dental disease facing those in need, worldwide. This year, as an effort to have Alpha Omegans recognized while performing community service, the students are continuing the international scrub sale. We would like these scrubs to act as a uniform so that those being helped by Alpha Omegans can immediately acknowledge the presence of such a great organization.
