Program

by

Program…Ken Schieck

Our speaker for August is Nancy Burns, a California certified Acupuncturist and Herbalist. She is a professor at Five Branches University and has been an active member of the San Jose community for 25 years. She will discuss acupuncture, a 3000 year old medical practice that Western medicine recognizes as a safe and effective treatment method for many conditions, including chronic pain, exhaustion, neck and back issues, migraines, insomnia, depression, fibromyalgia and other conditions. Acupuncture treatment involves the stimulation of specific points along meridians or channels throughout the body; treatment offers to correct imbalances in the system by placing super-thin needles through the skin at precise points. Nancy was well received at a Senior’s group recently to the point where she was immediately asked for follow up information.

President’s Message

by

President…Marlene Hruby 

Where has the summer gone? Believe it or not, it is time to think about next year. We need several positions on the board filled with new energetic members. Please contact one of the members of the nominating committee if you would like to guide our chapter next year.  We need YOU!     The vote was almost unanimous to have our annual luncheon in January again next year. There are approximately 20 weeks until the December meeting when you will need to pay. Remember the Christmas Clubs? Well, I suggest you put a dollar or two each week in an envelope marked “January AARP Luncheon.”  This way you will be sure to be able to join in the festivities.  We have scheduled that meeting for December 13 instead of December 20. Please note this on your calendar.
