Finally I made a decision about $8, 500 donated to ICA-USA
Can you imagine that an anonymous donor sent ICA-USA a contribution of $8,500 and designated Marge Philbrook to apply this $8,500 contribution to the wonderful ongoing programs of the Institute as a way of celebrating her 85th birthday. I never found out who this anonymous person is. I have been so flabbergasted by this responsibility that it has taken me quite a long time to decide how best to the make that decision. Several people have advised me but I kept feeling the weight of making that decision by myself. So – here is my decision! $4,000 will be divided equally between four programs: *Learning Basket, Service Learning, Accelerate 77, and International Initiatives*. Staff will decide how the money will be applied. $4,500 will be assigned to the *Global Archives Project*, where I have spent several years as a volunteer. The Archives Advisory Team will designate funds for the expense of the upcoming *Fall Sojourn (September 9-21)* as well as to software, supplies, and equipment. I have spent a lot of time wondering “who is this anonymous donor?” I hope that person somehow knows how much his/her gift is appreciated and sees this acknowledgement as lots of giant Thank You’s from ICA-USA. Grace and Peace, Marge Philbrook
