If you were one of the over 1,000 people at CalJam on April 26th I was there with you. What a day and night that was! CalJam was absolutely one of the most inspiring events I have been privileged to experience. And, if you were in the auditorium when Dr. Bill DeMoss opened the program, you heard our host strongly advocate that everyone with a DC after his/her name unite by joining and supporting the California Chiropractic Association.

Hopefully the CCA video inspired you to think about becoming a CCA member in order to promote and protect chiropractic in California and change the face of health care forever.

The most any one doctor of chiropractic can pay to support CCA and receive the multitude of benefits designed to save you time and money worth far more than your membership dues investment is 71 tax-deductible dollars a month. That is the amount for DCs in their fourth year or more of licensure practicing more than 16 hours per week. CCA also offers part-time rates, student rates, first, second and third year rates, retired rates, disabled rates, family rates and faculty rates.

It is time, once and for all, for chiropractors in the state of California to rise up, join forces and pool your resources to, as Billy D would say, "tell the story." CCA is poised to use your collective power to do just that.

Here is some of what you get as a member:

* Access to the CCA Member Resource Center for answers to nearly every practice question imaginable
* Discounts on continuing education conventions and seminars
* Access to the CCA Web site Members Only section containing more than 150 information kits on virtually every aspect of chiropractic practice
