Subject: [Dialogue] Special birthday present for Marge Philbrook
  


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.
