[Dialogue] GreenRise successes at 4750

Wonderful news! We met and were married in the Great Hall of Kemper 30 years ago. It's fantastic to see the positive evolution and demonstration that sacred space has become. Well done!

What great news!� I remember when it seemed as if our Kemper building was to be sold.� My children were concerned -" it was the only home we had for a while".� These days, the home we had for a while is a dream ( we didn't even imagine what it was for so long) come true with so many good things happening to make it even greater!� 

In gratitude for the many hearts, minds and hands that have made the dream become a reality.

Last week, I invited folks to go online and vote for the rooftop garden project coordinated by a young 21-year old member of the GreenRise Intentional Residential Community at 4750, Joseph Taylor.�
 
I am delighted to announce that, with your help, this project won the Ford Community Green Grant today at the Chicago Green Festival, A Project of Green America and Global Exchange. There are similar Festivals happening in Los Angeles (Oct 19-20), San Francisco (Nov 9-10), Washington, DC (Sept 21-22), and New York (April 19-21). The prize was for $5,000. If my attachment is successfully transmitted, you can see a photo from the awards ceremony. Joseph is the tall one in the middle surrounded by supporters.
 
On a related note, we also received notice last week that the GreenRise Building "solar project" has been awarded a $359,000 grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation to install renewable energy panels on our rooftop. The building at 4750 Sheridan is becoming a VERY high profile embodiment of "green culture" to complement our neighborhood sustainability work across the 77 community areas of Chicago.
