Plans Underway for 'Freedom Day USA' in Petaluma; Meeting for Local Businesses Set Next Week

On September 11, 2014, businesses across the U.S. will participate in Freedom Day USA --  a national “thank you” for members of the U.S. military, veterans and their families with each participating business providing one day of free goods and services. 

A Freedom Day USA Information Session for Petaluma businesses will take place on Thursday -- June 26 --  from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Rooster Run Golf Course Banquet Center in Petaluma. 

Complimentary drinks and snacks will be provided, as well as assistance in signing up your business to participate. No RSVP is necessary to attend. 

Last year, North Bay Smiles, a Petaluma dentistry practice of Yvonne Szyperski, participated in Freedom Day USA by offering free dental exams, cleanings and fillings to those who serve our country. 

“We wanted to show our appreciation for the men and women in the armed forces who sacrifice so much,” said Dr. Szyperski, who discusses her passion for Freedom Day in this video. 

“This year, we want even more Petaluma businesses to offer something free to military personnel and their families, so I’ve organized this Business Information session to explain how Freedom Day works, to share my experiences from last year and the deep impact it had on our practice, and to make it easy for local businesses to participate by helping them sign up.” 

If you are an active member of the U.S. military, a retired veteran, or part of their immediate family, you may contact North Bay Smiles to make an appointment to receive free dental care services on Sept. 11.

Please call 707-763-4122 or email info@northbaysmiles.com.
