What fun Marge will have in deciding the amounts to these current programs which all stand on the shoulders of colleagues, especially Marge herself!! Love to you all, Ellen On Jun 11, 2013, at 6:01 PM, Doris Hahn wrote:

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.
