Dear Ms. Fried:

On behalf of the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), our Board of Commissioners and I are pleased to donate $4,000.00 (four thousand dollars) to Acupuncturists Without Borders for our continued support of your organization’s efforts for those effected by the devastating acts of Hurricane Katrina.

We applaud your efforts in providing acupuncture treatments, therapeutic intervention methods and an overall sense of calmness in a suffering environment. We hope that this donation will assist in providing your organization the tools to give some comfort to those who need it the most.

It is our intention to spread the word of your contributions in the next issue of our newsletter with the anticipation of making the Oriental Medicine community aware of your charitable efforts. In addition, we would like to thank you in advance for linking the two websites (www.acuwithoutborders.org and www.nccaom.org) in recognition of our support to Acupuncturists Without Borders.

It is because of your compassionate mission and dedication to the health profession that the overall well being of so many lives will significantly improve.

Sincerely,

Kory Ward-Cook, Ph.D., CAE
Chief Executive Officer
