Bringing it together with much appreciation: Donations, Victories, Collaborations and Urgent News Alert.

I am sending a personal thank you to our members who have generously donated towards our National Advertising Campaign:

H. Andrew Eichorst * Armand Rossi * Monika Buerger * Howard Fidler * Heather Rooks * Aatif Siddiqui * David Kellenberger * Carrie Clark * Danita Heagy-Thomas * Alaina Rowswell * Gregg Stern * Kelly Larson-Brunner * Christy Porterfield * Greg Loman * Bonnie Chuter * Helen Lee * Carol Adams * Jim Davis, * Eric Butz * Michelle Wattier

On behalf of the children and pregnant women who will now receive chiropractic care because of these donations--many, many thank yous!! These generous contributions convince me that we can keep this advertising campaign on track. So far we have raised $5,000. This is a great start and we will need greater participation to continue the advertising momentum.

Our goal is $150,000 which will continue our current advertising in E-Pregnancy, Mothering, Pregnancy, Midwifery Today and allow us to expand to additional magazines in the States, Canada and Europe. Every ad we run costs us between $2,000- $3,000 per ad! Most of the publications are monthly, so the cost is high.

From the feedback we get from you, we know these ads are successful--ask your self--how many referrals have you gotten from our web site? These referrals come from these ads. This is your opportunity to give back to the source. Keep the energy moving.

For those of you who are on board with our successful mission to reach more families with our life saving message, you may donate here: http://www.icpa4kids.com/members/advertising.htm

In addition to attending the many sessions offered throughout the weakened, doctors of chiropractic can learn the Webster Technique on Thursday and add these hours to additional class hours on Saturday for 12 hours of license renewal credits. Most states have been applied for and many approved already.

Dr. Tedd Koren wins against "quack buster" Barrett

Once again Tedd steps up to defend chiropractic care for the practitioner. Dr. Koren took on Barrett, a leading quack buster and won in court. This is a great victory as these quack busters were far from supportive of chiropractic- especially care for children and pregnant women.
