This year I had the opportunity to do a service on behalf of Scott. The obvious (and most fun) choice was to do something to give back in the dental field. There is a free dental clinic that travels all over North Carolina, called the Missions of Mercy Dental Clinic. They set up dental chairs in coliseums and churches, and dental professionals have the opportunity to volunteer their skills to give back to those in need in the community. The Missions of Mercy Dental Clinic came to Winston-Salem this year, and Gary and I, along with two of our awesome assistants, had the opportunity to volunteer at the clinic. We took close to 70 impressions that day in just a few short hours so that people were able to leave the clinic with a new partial denture. The patients were so excited that they would soon have a partial denture to replace the teeth that they had lost previously. We had lots of fun and everyone was so excited to help!
Little known fact (maybe): Gary and I met at a Missions of Mercy Dental Clinic. The rest is history :)

Our Season of Service
Inspired by some friends of our family, the Tucker family has decided to try a new way of exchanging Christmas gifts beginning in 2013. We hope it will become a wonderful family tradition. For years, the six Tucker children, their spouses, and their parents exchanged gifts every Christmas, but in 2012, we decided the gift-giving tradition may need a change since we are all so blessed and in need of truly nothing. We decided we needed to find a better way to celebrate the true Christmas spirit.
We suggested that we each perform acts of service in the name of the sibling whose name we were assigned at random. Our service will be kept a secret until Christmas Day.
Names were drawn for us and and we were notified privately of the person who should inspire our service. On Christmas Day, we reveal who we were given and how we chose to serve by posting our stories on The Tucker Family Season of Service blog.
We hope this tradition will help us focus on serving our communities and each other during the annual celebration of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
We invite you to come back to our blog on Christmas morning to read this year's service.
