[Dialogue] Special birthday present for Marge Philbrook

[Terry Bergdall]

Marge's 85th birthday party was held today at 4750 with many people in
attendance. A donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, sent a contribution to
ICA-USA for $8,500 (eight thousand five hundred dollars) with some specific
instructions. To celebrate her eighty-fifth year, Marge is to designate
portions of this $8,500 contribution, in amounts as she sees fit, to the
seven major current program areas at ICA-USA. These are:

- GreenRise Uptown for creating a green culture within the largest
nonprofit service center in the Midwest;
-  Resilient Communities via the “Accelerate 77” program in Chicago
neighborhoods;
-  Service Learning for leadership development with university students;
-  Learning Basket for early childhood education and family literacy;
- International Initiatives in support of “peer-to-peer” work with other
national ICAs;
- Global Archives for preserving and passing-on ICA wisdom to future
generations;
- Technology of Participation (ToP).

For the many of you who shared stories about Marge,  I thought you would
enjoy hearing about this special birthday present.
