<div>Thank you Terry and Ellie Stock for these reports.
<div><br></div>
<div>About 50 people will be gathering on October 2, 2012 at the Talegaon facility of ICA: India to mark 50 years of ICA. We hope to be able to share some of these reports with those who gather.</div>

<div style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Arial;FONT-SIZE:15px">The work consists of more than a thousand pieces of cloth. On each appears written information that originated from one of three sources. First, about 350 pieces name deceased staff members and colleagues who worked at one time or another with EI/OE/ICA during the past 50 years. Others identify important past programs and projects --- RS-1, the Academy, and 24 Human Development Projects, etc. Second, several pieces highlight current programs and supporters, e.g., Technology of Participation (ToP), Accelerate 77 and its advisory committee, names of donors, etc. Third, 600+ pieces were created during fifty events that occurred across the country and around the world to mark the 50<sup>th</sup> Anniversary. Participants at these events wrote statements on strips of cloth to express their hopes and dreams, or, as we like to say, "claim a promise," for the next fifty years. The piece therefore includes symbolism of ICA's past, present, and future.</span></div>
