Meetings
are held twice a month from October through April.
Program
Meetings: We gather at 7:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each month in
the Community Room of Wildware Backcountry, 995 Peiffer's Lane,
Harrisburg, Pa. 17109 (717-564-8008). Afterwards we generally visit the
nearby Your Place for snacks and a brew.
Dinner Socials: We usually meet
at 7:00 pm on
the Wednesday fifteen days after the program meeting. We eat, gab and do a
little informal business at these affairs. It's a nice time to get to
know each other a little better.
Members are asked to PLEASE avoid parking in the small lot that serves
Wildware. There is parking at the top and to the right of the
drive leading to the store. There is also a parking lot
behind the Wildware store. It is reached by turning at
Sunnycrest from Peiffer's Lane.

Program - Acupuncture for Athletes
The Benefits of Acupuncture for the Athlete Dr. Mark Foley, DO of The Wellness Point in Annville.
Studies have shown the efficacy of acupuncture for
things like knee pain. It works but no one knows exactly why which
is a problem for western medicine. If you can’t explain it,
it can’t be real.
Hear about it from a practitioner who is also a licensed physician.

Program - Medical Mission to Ethiopia
Medical Mission to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Cheryl Capitani.
This is not
in Cheryl’s write up but when she spoke about the removed cyst
almost the size of a basketball I knew we needed to hear more about her
last February mercy trip. This was a surgical mission at the Tikur
Anbessa Hospital (Black Lion) where 174 surgical procedures where
performed in a mere two weeks. Cheryl was responsible for recording
“medical records” for each patient on a spreadsheet and the
old “and other duties as may be assigned” that included
running to the bakery for “goodies” for the staff.
