Senator
Kirk Watson in conjunction with the Texas Association of Massage Therapists
(TAMT) is sponsoring Texas Massage Awareness Week from May 10th to
May 15th, 2009. TAMT will wrap up the week by celebrating Massage
Awareness Day at the Capitol by offering complimentary Chair Massages
to the Texas state legislators and their staff. This event will be held
on Friday, May 15, 2009, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm in the State Capital building Extension in Austin.
We are in need of 8 more massage chairs for the day. The massage
chairs all have to be delivered to the capital special entrance at the
same time in the morning, and they will all be removed at the same time
after 3 pm.
This is an opportunity to make our presence known to the legislators, if you have not already done so. The event is part of a larger effort to help illuminate the benefits of massage to those who have the power to advance the profession - state lawmakers. Although this activity is not for self-promotion, therapists will have the chance to hand out their business cards and share information about the services massage therapists provide (if they are asked!).
If you would like to participate, and sign up for a shift (you won't have to be there all day!) to be one of the Volunteer massage therapists at the State Capital, please direct your emails or phone calls to:
Maria Solis, TAMT member
