We present the fall issue of our newsletter, with many excellent conferences and workshops to choose from.

 ASDC members will get a special deal on two local conferences:  Maryland Acupuncture Society’s  November workshop with John and Angela Hicks, visiting us from England for the first time in 15 years.  At the end of October, Building Bridges of Integration will hold their highly respected annual conference in Virginia. Both will expand your treatment practice and knowledge substantially—do attend! And become a member in order to get your discount on these and other workshops (not to mention acupuncture supplies).

We love to list any East Coast or international conference or workshop.  Be sure to send your notice well ahead of time to Alex Knox at Equiknox@juno.com.

Our best to you,
