Veterans Day event to include refreshments and remarks by university, veteran leaders
MADISON – In observance of Veterans Day, the Wisconsin Union team will hold an event on Nov. 12 at 9 a.m. in Memorial Union’s Main Lounge.
The Veterans Day event will include remarks at 9:30 a.m. by the Student Veterans of America UW-Madison Chapter President Sean Jackett, UW-Madison Veteran Services Coordinator Joe Rasmussen, and Wisconsin Union Director Mark Guthier. The event will also include free refreshments on a first come, first served basis and is open to the community.
The Union is holding this in recognition of the heroism of Badgers who have served our country, including fallen UW-Madison service members.
“We are honored to bring the community together for this event and to have the opportunity to acknowledge our service members’ and veterans’ sacrifices and service,” Guthier said.
More than 1,000 fallen university heroes’ stories can be found in the Union’s electronic Gold Star Honor Roll, which is available at uwgoldstarhonorroll.org, on a computer in the Hamel Family Browsing Library, and on a kiosk outside of the Main Lounge.
Memorial Union’s ties to service members began 90 years ago with the dedication of the building as a memorial to UW-Madison’s service members in 1928.
In addition, the names of more than 200 Badgers who died in active duty are inscribed on wooden plaques on the walls of the Memorial Union’s Memorial Hall, outside of Main Lounge.
“This Veterans Day, through this event and others with multiple partners, including the Wisconsin Union, UW-Madison Libraries, and College Democrats and Republicans, we hope to highlight the service of Badger veterans both past and present,” Jackett said. We are grateful for the Wisconsin Union’s support, as the Memorial Union is our most prominent symbol of veterans on campus.”
More than 600 veterans and service members attend UW-Madison. Rasmussen is one of the team members at the university’s Veteran Services & Military Assistance Center, which is dedicated to serving student veterans and service members as well as their dependents.
In addition to the Wisconsin Union-hosted event at Memorial Union, on Nov. 12, the UW-Madison chapter of Student Veterans of America will co-host a Veterans Day display on Bascom Hill along with College Republicans of UW-Madison and College Democrats of UW-Madison. The community is invited to be part of this display by placing flags on the Hill for veterans in their lives.

DENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATES GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

New Patient Big Give Donation Begins in November

Madison, WI (November 5, 2018) Dental Health Associates announces Big Give Donation Event. This event will support local organizations with a monetary donation of $75.00 on behalf of new patients in November and December. The Big Give will start on November 1, 2018 and continue through December 31, 2018 at 6 of their General Dentistry Clinics: East, Downtown, University, Old Sauk, Gammon, and Fitchburg. In January all new patient donations will be announced and distributed in person to these organizations. This will be the first Big Give Donation Event for Dental Health Associates.

To qualify, new patients are required to visit one of 6 designated Dental Health Associates Clinics and their appointment must include an exam, cleaning, and x-rays. Participating patients must mention the Big Give Event when they call to schedule their appointment or during their new patient visit. After the event is mentioned the patient will have the opportunity to choose one of these non-profit organizations: Dane County Humane Society, Ronald McDonald House, Gilda’s Club, or More Smiles Wisconsin.

Dental Health Associates has a network of 7 dental clinics located in the area. Over the years, they have grown from only performing general dentistry to also having orthodontics, periodontics, and endodontics.

“The Big Give Event is a great opportunity for us to support local organizations that will use these funds to help Madison continue to be a great place to live and work. We are excited to partner with our new patients and support organizations that are important to them. As a company, we are dedicated to promoting the well-being of our patients, employees, and communities,” said Dr. Brian Sweeney, a General Dentist and Partner of Dental Health Associates. Over the years Dental Health Associates has supported hundreds of events and local organizations in Madison and surrounding communities.

In 1969, a group of five dentists formed Dental Health Associates of Madison, Ltd. They saw the need for a complete range of services at a single location. Since their inception, the concept of dentists joining together has provided many benefits for both the patients and the practitioners. They have 32 dentists and auxiliary staffing over 250. They have grown from one location to seven locations throughout Madison: Downtown, University, East, Gammon, Old Sauk, West Orthodontics, and Fitchburg.
