by way of remembrance, it is my personal pleasure to remind us that all things
are possible and that prayer works. Most often I doubt this because I
prefer to imagine that the creator/sustainer/redeemer (all life is Trinitarian)
of the universe should work on my timeline or at my demand. (I even,
often, want the work to be done through me.) We have known for a long time
that the world has always had difficulty keeping up with us. Let us
imagine that this is the cracking of the ice and that we shall soon hear the
thunder of the floes as regards funds available for this intention. I will
look forward to vegetables from the roof some summer soon.

does not mean that congratulations are not in order for us all. It is a
great joy to know that so many have been holding the vision for so long. I
do hope, Terry, that you have the early drawings of the roof garden pulled from
the files and framed on your wall.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

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

also received notice last week that the GreenRise Building "solar project" has
been awarded a $359,000 grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community
Foundation 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><o:p></o:p></P>
