Southern California College of Chiropractic (SCCC) has joined the CCF as an institutional member.
Dr. William F. Holmberg, CCF president, credited the college liaison program in coordinating CCF efforts with the colleges. "We urge the colleges to get as involved as they can with promoting the Grand Celebration. We are also encouraging all colleges to dedicate their 1995 homecomings to the centennial celebrations."
A Centennial Foundation sales catalogue scheduled for June 1994 distribution was announced by Rick Flaherty. "The sales catalogue will contain different specialty items commemorating the Grand Celebration," said Mr. Flaherty. "Revenue will be used to support the Celebration."
A series of audio cassette tapes of inspirational speakers in the chiropractic profession is close to completion.
"The tapes contain inspirational talks from modern pioneers in chiropractic to the forefathers of the profession," said Dr. Gary Street, member of the media project subcommittee headed by Dr. Guy Riekeman. "They are a very special limited edition collector's item we wanted to offer in honor of the chiropractic centennial."
