If you believe community service is a critical part of giving back locally we hope you join us as we clean the 2 Freeway in Glendale! We work with CalTrans to leave a cleaner, most sustainable future for everyone that lives here. Come join our efforts! Atheists United is a community nonprofit that provides programming for Greater LA's million+ atheists and agnostics. We've proudly been hosting highway cleanups in Los Angeles for almost two decades. **What to wear:** Close-toed shoes, long pants, sunscreen or long sleeve shirt. Dress in layers because it can start out cold and warm up later in the morning. We'll provide bags, gloves, and grabbers so you won't have to bend over to pick up trash. Minimum age to participate is 16. **Lunch or Refreshments:** We'll pick a place for refreshments after the cleanup **How long:** The highway clean-up will take about 2 hours; plus optional get-together for refreshments afterward. **How to find us:** We'll meet at the Holly exit, off of the 2 freeway in Glendale (See map). Call Steve if you can't find the group 310-686-8862. **RSVP:** Please remember to change your RSVP to "no" if you can't make it. This is a common courtesy. This is also important because we can't do the cleanup with only one person attending, for safety reasons. **Other details:** Please post any questions in the comments and I'll update the event with more details. 🔻🔻🔻 This group is sponsored by Atheists United.

**Community Harmony Acupuncture Clinic 社區和諧针灸** \> Receive Support\. Release Trauma\. \> Sunday\, September 13 \| 5:00\-8:00 PM PST Please reserve your appointment and complete medical forms on Acusimple: tinyurl.com/CTCClinic *Meetup signup notifies us of your interest, but it does not reserve an appointment.* **Community Harmony Acupuncture Clinic** is a recurring gathering, offering trauma-aware, heart-centered care rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. While **our focus is mental and emotional well-being**, many people also experience relief from physical pain, tension, headaches, digestive imbalance, and stress-related symptoms. In Chinese medicine, healing is about restoring circulation — of energy, blood, breath, and emotion. When things move, we feel lighter. When we feel safe, we release. This *group-style experience* includes **individualized acupuncture, along with sound healing, guided meditation, and aromatherapy** **to support deep nervous system reset** in a peaceful shared space. Our main provider is **Winnie Chan Wang**, joined by additional community practitioners offering healing support. This clinic is **free and donation-based**, with a suggested $20 contribution to help sustain the program and keep care accessible to all. It’s gentle. It’s grounding. It’s surprisingly relaxing. Many first-timers say, “I didn’t know acupuncture could feel like this.” Come try it. Come receive. Come let your nervous system reset. **Appointments are required (limited time slots available).** **Reserve your appointment here:** [tinyurl.com/CTCclinic](tinyurl.com/CTCclinic) **Location:** **📍 2801 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena CA 91107** The entrance is best accessed from Wenger Alley, and there is plenty of free parking on Mataro Street and N Daisy Avenue.
