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

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.</SPAN></P>
