Help CIPH Celebrate its 75th Anniversary! CIPH is currently in the process of developing a unique commemorative 75th Anniversary DVD. Do you have any interesting photographs from CIPH events from years past? We would be particularly interested in anything you would be willing to share that would be of historical interest to the association, particularly from prior to 1970. This DVD is expected to be completed early in 2008 and will help us to  "Honour the Past and Embrace a Strong Future"!  For more information contact s.apps@ciph.com

Please note that the CIPH office will be closed beginning Monday December 24th and will re-open on Wednesday January 2nd.
