Welcome to our November newsletter. We are happy to announce that our charity golf tournament raised over two thousand dollars to help Red Cross with the New York City tragedy. Thanks to all of you who participated in the golf tournament and also those who donated.
We have had two winners in our monthly massage give-away. If you refer someone to our office, your name goes into a monthly draw to win a free massage!
We have a health care talk that we are presenting outside of the office to any interested groups. We are booked for December and early January, but have times available after that. If you or your group is interested, please contact the office.
Hope you enjoy the newsletter and if you have any questions or comments, please let us know.
Until next month,
Dr.T.J. McKay |
