[Dialogue] Marking a Birthday.

[Janice Ulangca]

Marking a Birthday.Dear Bob,

A lovely picture of a woman with many kinds of beauty.  You, Sandra, Tim and Rebecca:  No wonder PA came through!  Who could resist such a team!  Thanks for your work - I also went across the border from NY to the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre areas during the 2008 campaign to knock on doors and talk to folks. And this campaign made a difference in the direction of the country.  

Sandra also made a huge difference in keeping ICA-USA from "going out of business" at least legally, and perhaps actually, at a time when the board was barely hanging on.  It took faith, intelligence, guts and perhaps the humor that made her such a great person to work with. I'm sure you played a big part in all she was able to do, Bob. Now ICA vitality is bursting out in many ways and locations, with great leadership from staff,  board and many colleagues.  I feel that I personally and all who care about ICA owe Sandra a lot, along with others who kept the faith through very difficult times. So now we have an opportunity to put all we have learned into new forms of service on behalf of the future.  Thank you, Sandra, and Bob.

  Dear Friends, 
  July 2 marks Sandra True's 70th birthday.
   I ran across this picture and  it triggered a welcome memory.
  We had just spent the day going door to door to get out the vote in Pennsylvania, an important swing state. We bused there from New Jersey with Tim Lush and Rebecca Nichols.    The emphasis of our canvassing was on women's rights and engagement. We felt empowered, alive and joyful in the exchanges of the day. 
  Sandra cared deeply for the empowerment of women and this thread ran throughout her life - in her work, friendships, and family. She had a special collegiality with the strong women of the Movement and Order. She loved standing shoulder to shoulder with local women in communities around the world.
  So, please join me in a birthday remembrance.

  Bob
