A Chain of Character highlighted CC! Week in this city of over 100,000 near Los Angeles. Individuals in schools, businesses, and organizations described on strips of paper how someone affected their life through one of the Six Pillars. Community volunteers linked the strips together on Make a Difference Day (Saturday, October 25), and hung the chain on the second floor banister of a local shopping center for two weeks. Some  21 schools and 27 businesses and organizations took part in the celebration.

Moreover, the shopping center donated a kiosk which residents decorated with the Six Pillars of Character, information on the Chain of Character project, and brochures and pamphlets from the Josephson Institute.
