From the ASDC Board

We hope everyone is having a great summer!

We’re looking for ways to create a more valuable and interactive association. Listed below are several categories or areas that we thought would be useful. If you would review this list and give some thought to your own interests, we would love to hear from you.

-  Needle Disposal Service - Who do you use?

-  Office space – available or needed

-  Do you specialize? What condition?

-  Training/Seminars/Workshops – let us know. We’ll post it to the website and add it to our website and next newsletter

-  What workshops do you recommend? Why?

-  Studies or Articles that you have found valuable

-  Websites that you find useful

-  NADA in DC – how should it be regulated?

In what other areas would you like to see information? Write to us at info@dcacupuncture.org. Share your interests with us, your questions, your thoughts. Let us know you’re out there and how we can better serve each other and our patients.

We would like to help you organize and promote workshops you'd like to see happen.  Area practitioners have already brought Kiiko Matsumoto, David Euler and Mike Berkeley in from their respective cities and held wonderful workshops.  We'd like you to know that we can work with you if you plan a workshop. Let us know!

We didn’t have a membership drive in 2007. But we have kept our members listed on our website. We will be asking for your participation in 2008 and will notify you by email and snail mail. ASDC members get a 10% discount at all MAS and VAS seminars and workshops. Members also receive discounts from vendors. The Building Bridges Conference this fall is offering ASDC members a 20% discount off of the already discounted early registration fee. We hope you’ll take advantage.

Let us hear from you (info@dcacupuncture.org).
