After 56 years of dental practice in Ada, Dr. Mark Shull retired in August and today he is giving his dental chairs, instruments, and office equipment to Rotary, which will make them available to the people of Belize and Honduras.
The Ada Rotary Club is a member of District 6600, which has an arrangement with M.E.S.A. (Medical Equipment and Supplies Abroad) to collect medical and dental equipment for areas of the world in need.
On this rainy day, Dr. Shull’s equipment was loaded into trucks, taken to a warehouse in Fostoria, and soon will be shipped to Central America.
