From the ASDC Board

May your winter solstice and holiday season be peaceful and spleen-sweet and your new year prosperous and happy!

2009

The Executive Board at the Acupuncture Society of Washington D.C. has been busy planning for 2009. There is time, however, for us to integrate your ideas. We’d like to hear from you and what you might like to see from our professional association. Write to us at info@dcacupuncture.org.

We have scheduled three dates in which to meet with our members:

March 28, 2009Saturday morning

July 21, 2009     Tuesday evening
October 3, 2009      Saturday morning

Location is to be determined later. DC libraries are our usual meeting place. If circumstances require, we will add meeting dates to the schedule.

Membership Renewal

Our membership drive is under way. We’d like to let you know that all membership renewals are due no later than March 15, 2009. ASDC members are listed on our website. Members get a 10% discount at all MAS and VAS seminars and workshops and also receive discounts from vendors and for various seminars (such as the recent Building Bridges of Integration seminar).

We’ll also be adding a Community Bulletin Board to our website.  Members will be able to post openings, sell items or practices or announce useful information to other members for free. Non-members will pay a fee.

Positions Open

We’d like to recruit new officers and fill vacant positions:

Website Coordinator
Treasurer

Please forward this to new practitioners that you know or send us their contact information. We’ll be happy to contact them.
