Who Ya Gonna Call? Most Likely, Bill Clinton - FoxNews.com
Who Ya Gonna Call? Most Likely, Bill Clinton - FoxNews.com: "Clinton may not join the Little Rock City Council, but he is trailblazing in his own right. Kumar noted that unlike some of his contemporaries -- say, Jimmy Carter -- Clinton has approached his post-presidency with a spirit of cooperation, teaming up with other ex-presidents to tackle the big jobs. Hence the efforts to work with George H.W. Bush on tsunami relief and civil discourse and with George W. Bush on Haiti earthquake relief."

Reinventing Philanthropy in Chicago: Philanthropy Community Conversation - Trib Nation: "De-Mythologizing Giving
There's a mythology built around philanthropy, said Donors Forum CEO Valerie Lies. Amy Rasmussen of the Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education said philanthropy increasingly plays a role in the gray area between government and civic giving, such as in music programs in schools. Lines are blurring between non-profits and organizations that view philanthropy as an investment that both does good work and turns a guilt-free buck, said Sharon Schneider, philanthropic director at Foundation Source."

Paulette's Point of View
Paulette's Point of View: "Big Changes in the Windy City
Fundraising no longer comes in cycles or campaigns so much. There’s no down time. If one campaign is over, then a new one is just about to begin. Which means you have limited time for things like continuing education."

Oak Park students donate the gift of writing — Oak Park & River Forest news, photos and events — TribLocal.com
Oak Park students donate the gift of writing — Oak Park & River Forest news, photos and events — TribLocal.com: "Cash and food charity drives are commonplace, but Oak Park students donated some items that are probably overlooked — pencils.
MANNkind, a service group at Mann Elementary School in Oak Park, donated more than 17,000 pencils to the Forrest City School District in Arkansas. Kristi Ross, a District 97 parent who works with the group, said some of the basic items more well-off districts might take for granted, like school supplies, are a necessity for other students."
