On December 5, 1947, we became the ninth chapter of National Assistance League. Our first President was Mildred Curtis.<\/p>\n<p>As the organization grew, it became apparent that more organization and representation of chapters were needed. Hence, in 1949, the incorporation of National Assistance League.<\/p>\n<p>In 1948, Assistance League\u00ae of San Bernardino accepted the invitation of a group of dentists to assist in organizing and sponsoring a Children&#8217;s Dental Health Center.<\/p>\n<p>In April 1949, the Dental Center was opened in Municipal Auditorium and the Toy Loan Library was discontinued.<\/p>\n<p>In June 1952, the first annual Starlight Ball was held as a major fundraiser at the Arrowhead Springs Hotel. The Starlight Ball has transformed into the Annual Signature Headdress Ball and continues to be the primary fundraiser each year.<\/p>\n<p>A Dental Hygiene Program has been offered since 1970. The program is far-reaching and does make a difference in the health habits of our patients. The Oral Hygiene program is staffed by new and active members.<\/p>\n<p>Other funding sources include corporate and private foundation grants, a Philanthropy Endowment fund at the Idaho Community Foundation, individual donations, and an annual Community Support Letter requesting monetary donations dedicated to Operation School Bell\u00ae.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Mission, Vision, and Values&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>MISSION<\/h4>\n<p>Assistance League of San Bernardino is a nonprofit organization whose volunteers enrich the lives of children in need by providing school clothing and general dentistry services.<\/p>\n<h4>VISION<\/h4>\n<p>Assistance League\u00ae of San Bernardino\u2019s vision is to support a community where all children&#8217;s basic needs are met in San Bernardino.<\/p>\n<h4>CORE VALUES<\/h4>\n<p>Assistance League\u00ae of San Bernardino embraces the following values in service to children in need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Respect for children and families in the community and for each other<\/li>\n<li>Accountability in all activities and programs undertaken<\/li>\n<li>Commitment to the goals of the organization<\/li>\n<li>Ethical conduct in all things<\/li>\n<li>Fellowship<\/li>\n<li>Leadership<\/li>\n<li>Communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Financials&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/san-bernardino\/about-us\/990-return-2020-alsb\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4147\">990 Return 2020 ALSB<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Volunteers Enriching Lives for a Better Community&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iwxdk-SZfng&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Assistance League\u00ae of San Bernardino Board of Directors&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_separator][vc_column_text] President Felicia Alexander Vice President-Elect OPEN Vice President Membership Margaret Ortiz Vice President Resource Development Dorie Stratton Treasurer Carolyn Tuff Assistant Treasurer Rebecca Stone Recording Secretary Yvonne Molles Dental Center Chair Phyllis Hough Operation School Bell Chair Edda Rosso Public Relations Chair Malla [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-708","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/san-bernardino\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/san-bernardino\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/san-bernardino\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/san-bernardino\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/san-bernardino\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=708"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/san-bernardino\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4368,"href":"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/san-bernardino\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/708\/revisions\/4368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.assistanceleague.org\/san-bernardino\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
