Potluck: Many hands make light work! We encourage everyone to contribute to the dinner by bringing a dish or beverage. We are using an app to connect, organize, and share photos with one another. Please let us know what you plan to bring to help us plan accordingly. Donations to help offset the costs are appreciated but not required.

 This gathering is not only an opportunity to enjoy a meal together but also a chance to share updates, achievements, and upcoming events within our community. We will also share with you legislative progress for an Asian Bodywork Therapy professional licensing bill. We will close the evening by honoring past and present teachers. Please let me know in advance if you would like to add to any part of the agenda.

 Please help us spread the news far and wide so that we can revitalize our connections and sense of community. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Warmly,

Lauren Paap, L.Ac., MAOM, Dipl. Ac. & ABT (NCCAOM)®, AOBTA®-CP
