In a landmark development, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) has reached a $2.8 billion settlement to resolve antitrust claims brought by health care providers, including chiropractors. The lawsuit accused BCBS of dividing the nation into exclusive regions and limiting competition, which resulted in lower reimbursements for providers. Although BCBS denies any wrongdoing, the company agreed to the settlement to avoid lengthy litigation – and you can get a piece of the pie.

Dear Mr. Petersen:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, it gives me great pleasure to welcome Chiropractic Centennial's participation as a float sponsor in the 106th Tournament of Roses Parade to be held on January 2, 1995, at Pasadena, California.
In inviting Chiropractic Centennial to participate in the Tournament of Roses, we recognize the important contributions the chiropractic profession makes in improving individuals' health and well being.
The Tournament's Float Entries Committee will contact you in the coming weeks to answer any questions. In addition, the Tournament will release your name to Tournament-approved independent floatbuilders, who may subsequently contact you, as well.
In the meantime, please complete the attached Acceptance of Invitation, enclose the float participation fee of one thousand dollars, and return both items to the Tournament before January 31, 1994.
We extend you a warm welcome.
Yours sincerely,
Michael E. Ward
