Saturday: 

11:30 am: Senior Club brown bag lunch 
and BINGO at 12:30 pm

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup soy sauce 

1 tablespoon sesame oil 

2 tablespoons brown sugar 

3 cloves garlic, crushed 

1 large red onion, chopped 

Ground black pepper to taste 

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes 

2 tablespoons sesame seeds 

2 leeks, chopped 

1 small carrot, chopped 

1 pound beef round steak, sliced paper thin

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, 
sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and red onion. 
Stir in the black pepper, red pepper flakes, 
sesame seeds, leeks and carrot. Mix in the meat 
by hand to ensure even coating. Cover and let 
marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. 

Brush the bottom half of a wok with cooking 
oil, and heat over medium-high heat. Put in 
all of the meat and marinade at once, and cook 
stirring constantly. The meat will be cooked 
after just a few minutes. Remove from heat and 
serve with rice or noodles. For Korean style fire 
meat, roll the meat mixture up in a leaf of red 
lettuce. 

 
The world needs chiropractic today 
because it needs men and women who 
offer an alternative to drugs and surgery. 
In the past, the world needed practitioners 
who were willing to fight and even go to 
jail for the right to practice conservative 
approaches to health care. Today’s 
revolution in health care has been carried 
on the shoulders of those people. 

 The world needs chiropractic because 
bodies need to be touched, bones 
repositioned, and muscles relaxed. The 
world needs chiropractic because it needs 
doctors who witness and chart the day to 
day miracles that simple, non-invasive 
approaches to health problems can yield. 
Without this, who would remember such 
healing is possible? The world needs 
chiropractic because it needs practitioners 
who can remind us that lifestyle changes 
can come first, with conservative 
interventions second, and drugs or surgery 
third. Without those practitioners to remind us of that, where would we be?

 The world needs chiropractic because it is sane. If a patient has been prescribed a course of 
treatment including pharmaceuticals (with their side effects) or surgery, and the chiropractor 
recommends a more conservative approach with a positive outcome, that patient has been 
brought into a whole new level of self-empowerment. He now recognizes he can maintain a 
level of wellness through his own lifestyle choices.

 The world needs chiropractic because it needs doctors networking with other health care 
practitioners who believe that less is more, that “First, do no harm” is still....first.

 Finally, the world needs chiropractic because, as long as there are nerves, bones, joints 
and muscles, there will be a need for people skilled in helping them function optimally. As 
one of the oldest forms of healing, there has always been the need for such an approach, and 
there always will be.
