We thought this photo Cris took of the clinic deserved another look. We hope any hardships from the storm were kept to a minimum for you and your family and neighborhood, and that you’re skating safely on your way, or snug at home. We are back in full swing and will be happy to see you walking in through the parking lot and not over a glacier.
More than occasionally, we’re asked by a patient, “can i take one of those home to show my husband (or mother or neighbor)? They’re scared of needles and maybe this will help”. Well, no, we can’t send you home with a needle. But, the following article has some great images of the kind of needles we use, along with some basic information. We hope it’s useful.
Our POCA Tech fundraiser has been a big success. We raised about $750 in December through mostly donations of five to fifteen dollars. Thank you all so much for contributing, and for moving us all a step closer to making an affordable acupuncture school happen so we can train the future punks we so desperately need to keep community acupuncture strong and growing.

Here’s most of the staff of PCA at our last meeting. Even though we have his much fun we actually get a lot done. And, when we get together with people from other clinics for POCA events, the getting-things-done and the fun are only magnified.
In fact, there’s a meeting coming up which you should consider attending. It’s the meeting of our POCA Northeast Regional node (folks fromclinics all over New England).
We’ll be getting together at PCA at 4:00 pm on Saturday, January 12 to really get the planning going for POCAFest 2013, which will take place in N. Scituate May 31 through June 2. If you love community acupuncture, affordable healthcare, cooperative action, local business and/or just having fun with a wonderful group of people, come to the meeting and get involved. Feel free to call or email the clinic with questions.
