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.

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>
