WATERTOWN – An earthquake devastated the countries of Syria and Turkey in February, and now a Watertown-based organization is hoping to aid relief efforts.

The Watertown Refugee Support Group will be sponsoring “Massage Aid for Turkey & Syria” on Saturday, April 29th from 1-4pm at the First Parish Church at 35 Church Street in Watertown. All proceeds will go to Doctors Without Borders earmarked for relief work for Turkey & Syria.

Attendees will have their choice of a 15 minute chair, sports table massage or a Reiki treatment. Reiki is a Japanese Energy Healing Technique, Reiki and Chair Massage are beneficial for everyone, and Sports Table Massages are helpful for athletes and those who are physically active.

The cost of a massage is $20 for any 15 minute session and can be paid in cash or by check made out to Doctors Without Borders.

Walk-ins are welcome, however organizers are asking that attendees make an appointment to make the process run more smoothly. Email [email protected] to book your appointment.
