PHILADELPHIA, Following discussions with Equality

nondiscrimination protection.

on the West Coast, Sean Healy Presents is probably the promoter, and now
C I Host will have its name printed on there too," said Christopher Faulkner,
CEO of C I Host. Tickets may be purchased by phone at
312-642 -4600 or online at http://www.
Concluding its second year of public programs, "Out at CHS: Exploring the
