Kemper wanted to give to us. There was no way to transfer the title without a bill of sale. I believe it was a dollar out of Phil Townley's pocket that sealed the deal. Margaret P.S. At that time, we promised to always call it the Kemper building. On 2020-12-20 18:05, Shankland, Sherwood via OE wrote:

More accurate perhaps to say "acquired" the building. As I recall, perhaps mistakenly, the first of us moved in under cover of darkness early on January 1, 1972. Anyway, Happy Holidays!

The year 2021 brings dual celebrations of 100 years since the ICA GreenRise building was constructed and 50 years since the ICA moved into the building. The ICA is wrapping up 2020 with an End of the Year Funding Campaign to celebrate these milestones and position its service in 2021.
In a challenging 2020, ICA staff strengthened the GreenRise programs, learned to facilitate online, hosted online global assemblies and more. Attached is a summary page highlighting 2020 programs with glimmering visions for 2021.
We invite you to continue to support ICA by going online at https://www.ica-usa.org/donate.html [1] or send a check to ICA Finance Office, 4750 N. Sheridan, Chicago, IL 60640. We welcome your feedback and visions for ICA service next year (email karen.snyder10@gmail.com).
We hope this message finds you healthy. And we wish you all the best in the approaching holy days and the year to come.
Peace,
Beret Griffith, for the ICA Board
Karen Snyder, for the ICA Staff and Volunteers
