Clinics Donate Bullet-Proof Vests

Thu., March 18, 1999

Two Spokane chiropractic clinics have donated bullet-proof vests to the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department.

Audubon Park Chiropractic and Bond Chiropractic Health Center collected donations from the beginning of the year to the end of February to buy the vests, said sheriff’s spokesman Dave Reagan.

The two, $350 vests were donated on Wednesday. Reagan said there was some money left over from the donation and it will be used for other purchases.
