The Academy received a proclamation by Mayor Frank Jordan for their services to the city of San Francisco, declaring July 29, 1995 as "World CARP Day in San Francisco."

National Parents' Day

Hearty Congratulations to N. Chiaia, Peter Wettstein and the Oakland tribe who put on a magnificent National Parents' Day event at Horace Mann Elementary School in Oakland. Mayor Elihu Harris, Mother Wright and a representative of Ron Dellums' office contributed to the event. But the highlight was N.' keynote speech on "True Parents and Sacrificial Love."

This will be the beginning of many such events in years to come.
