Nick Hoyle, a recent graduate from the Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine, is collecting funds for acupuncture relief projects sponsored by Acupuncturists Without Borders. The newly formed national organization is providing free ongoing stress-relief acupuncture treatments to New Orleans residents affected by Hurricane Katrina in an effort it calls "We Stick Bayou!" Between October 2005 and February 2006, the group treated more than 4,000 people, including evacuees, first responders and relief workers. Its new Iraq Veterans Project is aimed at helping soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. To make a donation, call the Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine Clinic at 687-7328 or visit 1919 State St., Suite 208.
