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

awarded a $359,000 grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation
to install renewable energy panels on our rooftop. The building at 4750

complement our neighborhood sustainability work across the 77 community areas
of Chicago.</SPAN></P>
