Hello's and Goodbye's

First the Hello's:
We are swinging our doors open even wider. More hours, more acupuncturists, more volunteers, more blankets (it's getting chilly here!).

Our expanded hours are as follows:
Tuesday 11am - 7pm, Thursday 2 - 8pm, Saturday 10am - 2pm
Be on the lookout for 2 more shifts coming after the new year

Alas, KCAL finally came and did a news piece/story on ERCA. It was pretty fun, actually. I got to stage a scene where I walked briskly into the clinic with patient files piled atop a clipboard...oh, and a pencil behind my ear. Rest assured, patients, your files never leave the confines of ERCA. I got to do one of those Fred Astaire leaps, too. Lucky for me, the bloopers will not be released. I did bring up the outrageous cost of bananas during the interview. I was trying to make an analogy to the staggering cost of health care. Let's hope that bombshell of an anchor lady can turn it all around.

Also, our infomercial is nearly complete. It will soon be posted to the website for all of you to enjoy. It was produced by my buddies at Angel City Multimedia. Thanks to everyone who shared their testimonials. Y'all bring tears to my eyes every time!

Hello to our 2 new acupunks, Christine and Dawna. I searched long and hard to find the most skillful needlers for my clientele. Please come in and introduce yourselves sometime before the holidays take hold of us all. By the way, we are closed on Thanksgiving Day. You'll have to zone out in someone else's recliner that day. Remember to go easy on the lever.

And, now for the goodbye -- K.d., one of the greatest needlers this side of the Great Wall, has resigned from ERCA. If it weren't for K.d., I could have never gotten this place started. I will miss K.d. tremendously, as I'm sure those of you who received treatments from her will. We wish her lots of luck wherever she lands.

So, stay tuned for KCAL's story on us. I will let you know when it's going to air via Facebook (are you not yet a Facebook fan of Eagle Rock Community Acupuncture?) I will post the link to the news story on this blog, my website, my forehead and anywhere else that allows.
