Last week, I invited folks to go online and vote for the rooftop garden project coordinated by a young 21-year old member of the GreenRise Intentional Residential Community at 4750, Joseph Taylor. I am delighted to announce 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 photo from the awards ceremony. Joseph is the tall one in the middle surrounded by supporters. On a related note, we 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. Terry Bergdall

Just 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. This 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.

Last week, I invited folks to go online and vote for the rooftop garden project coordinated by a young 21-year old member of the GreenRise Intentional Residential Community at 4750, Joseph Taylor.
I am delighted to announce 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 photo from the awards ceremony. Joseph is the tall one in the middle surrounded by supporters.
On a related note, we 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.

We recall our intentions and accomplishments in the past so we can bring those intentions into the present for the sake of caring people in the future who may or may not have knowledge of the past purposes and works of the Institutes, order, movement, etc. Thank you all for reminding us again of the importance of the hours now being spent volunteering in the Archives here at the Greenrise building. You're the greatest! Marge

This 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.****

In great celebration, Margaret****
