This Monday, January 11th, is Razor Sharp's semi- annual blood drive hosted by The Blood Center of Wisconsin. If you are interested, it is not too late to participate. The blood drive will be held in the gymnasium from 2:00-5:30pm and is open to members and non-members alike. Walk-ins are welcome, or you may reserve a time slot by visiting the link below. We will see you Monday!

It is very rare that we decide to close our doors due to heavy snowfalls. Should it happen however, we will send out an e-mail to make you aware, and we will also post on our website. If you do not have computer access at the time you would like to know, simply call the club to find out. Keep in mind that we cannot change the outgoing voicemail message off-site, so call until someone answers. If no one answers, then we are closed.

Please know that we make every effort to remain open, but if we feel like the safety of our employees and members is at all compromised, we will close the club accordingly.

From all of us here at Razor Sharp, we would like to extend a big thank you to all those who donated to our food and coat drive last month. Due to its success we have decided make both drives an annual event!

With your help and generosity we collected 3,522 food items, 92 coats, 3 pairs of boots and a bag of gloves and hats! Great job!

Please remember to park in designated parking spots when visiting the club. Cars that are parked in the fire lanes or other non-parking areas will be towed at the owner's expense. Thank you!

Sleep is a very important aspect of good health. It is the body's time to "recharge its batteries." If you have poor sleep habits you will be more likely to get sick, get stressed out, or acquire other, more serious issues. Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine can have some immediate and lasting results on sleep whether it is trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, not feeling rested upon waking, or even sleep disorders like insomnia, sleep walking, etc.

Just like any condition, Oriental Medicine treats the individual and his or her specific cause of the sleep problem or disorder. This means that your treatment will be uniquely tailored to you.

In order to determine the best treatment for you we will ask you a series of questions. We then combine your responses with your pulse and tongue diagnosis. This will give us the information we need to diagnose the cause of your sleep issue and therefore decide on the best possible treatment.

Possible treatments include any combination of acupuncture, accessory techniques, Tui Na massage, Chinese herbs, and nutrition. Make an appointment with Kelly or Juanita today so you can start to sleep easy tonight!
