Make a difference. Change a life. Dear Friends, Sometimes, little things make a big difference in a life. Imagine equipping a graduating senior living below the poverty line with a laptop to take to college. Or providing an air conditioner to a sweltering after-school program. Or supporting cameras that allow parents to see and feel connected to their babies in the NICU when they cannot be there to hold them. Each of these represents a real, tangible and immediate impact that you can make through Extra Wish. Our 2018 Extra Wish funding opportunity catalog features 27 nonprofit “wishes.” Each wish was chosen by the nonprofit to represent items they need, but for which they don’t necessarily have the discretionary funds to include in annual budgeting. The maximum request is $5,000, and it is amazing what that amount can do. These are wishes that foster a sense of home, enhance learning, or in some cases, save lives. The nonprofit organizations selected for inclusion were fully evaluated by our team. These are effective organizations, working hard to drive change in our region. You have the ability to help them serve our community even better. You can strengthen these nonprofits, one wish at a time. Extra Wish celebrates giving. In this season of giving, we hope that you enjoy celebrating with us. Alicia Philipp President and CEO Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta For more than 15 years, Extra Wish has demonstrated the impact that is possible when caring and compassionate donors – like you – are connected to worthy local nonprofits and their needs. 1 How to use Extra Wish How you use Extra Wish is entirely up to you! Here are some ideas: Identify tangible, essential needs that will make a material difference for nonprofits. Learn about new nonprofit organizations across the 23-county Atlanta region. Fulfill an entire wish, or part of several. Work with other donors to fund a wish and make a collaborative impact. Start a family conversation about philanthropy. Gather over a meal and go through our catalog together. Talk about what appeals most to everyone and why. Engage the next generation of philanthropists. Often, it is easier for children to understand and empathize with real, tangible needs. Talk to them about each wish and why it is needed. Ask them to help you choose a wish to grant. 2 ABOUT EXTRA WISH This year’s 27 wishes Extra Wish creates visibility for nonprofits, are broken down driving social good in the 23-county Atlanta region. into four categories Extra Wish features nonprofits who exemplify best practices.

Our region is home to organizations that strive to make art accessible to all and enrich the audience experience. Nothing fuels the imagination quite like a leaping dancer, beautiful music or an exquisite piece of art. These wishes make the spirit of creativity flourish. 4 ARTS HUDGENS CENTER FOR ART AND LEARNING Operating budget: $1,024,000 Creative expression provides healing at the Hudgens Center for Art and Learning, Wish List which offers an array of programs and experiences for art lovers, leaders and 1 wheelchair-accessible learners. The center, which is the only community-based arts organization in pottery wheel: $2,488 Gwinnett County, serves more than 13,000 individuals every year through its 1 Imagination Playground exhibitions, classes, workshops, community events and programs, such as its Big Blocks Set (105 pieces): Hudgens Prize. Through its Healing Arts Program, domestic violence survivors, $1,250 cancer patients, chronically ill or disabled adults, veterans and their caretakers learn to express emotion and process the stages of illness, disability or recovery. Total: $3,738 This outlet, which joins other center programs for underserved groups, has attracted close to 500 individuals who often need specialized equipment and tools to experience the arts. Providing equipment, such as a wheelchair-accessible pottery wheel and a big blocks set, will continue to make creating art accessible to all. 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Building 300, Duluth, GA 30097 | thehudgens.org SYNCHRONICITY THEATRE Operating budget: $738,402 Synchronicity Theatre is aware of the challenges arts groups face finding Wish List performance space. Synchronicity, founded by women to promote female 1 power air conditioner: $471 voices in the arts and in the community, spent 16 years in a nomadic state before finding a permanent venue in Midtown in 2014. Now, 1 laptop: $1,547 Synchronicity serves nearly 15,000 individuals annually through its performances 1 Blu-Ray player: $1,089 and bridge-building programs for emerging artists, families and at-risk girls from Total: $3,107 inner city and refugee communities. It also provides affordable rental space to others, which expands its reach and brings in revenue. It relies on new equipment, but mostly donations of used items that hold back its production designers’ vision and reduces the venue’s potential. Updating its technology equipment will enhance its professionalism and make it more competitive with rentals, improving its financial footing as it continues to expose audiences to new experiences, cultures and ideas. 1454 Peachtree Street, Suite 102, Atlanta, GA 30309 | synchrotheatre.com TERMINUS MODERN BALLET THEATRE Operating budget: $409,600 A dancer needs a solid surface to land on after a breathtaking jump or an amazing Wish List lift. But providing flooring for its performers presents a problem for Terminus 1 marley floor: $4,800 Modern Ballet Theatre. When it was founded in 2017, the professional dance company received a much-needed donation: 1,600 square feet of what’s known Total: $4,800 as marley flooring at its studio space at Westside Cultural Arts Center. When Terminus performs in the center’s event space or its performance space in the Serenbe community south of Atlanta, it must move the floor to those sites. Classes sometimes are halted for four to six weeks. A permanent floor in its studio will allow Terminus to continue to offer its classes. Terminus expects the need will grow as its performances and education programming expand while they simultaneously seek to make ballet attainable to all walks of life. 91100 Selborne Lane, Suite 210, Chattahoochee Hills, GA 30268 | terminus-serenbe.com 5 Our promise: Advocate for equitable economic growth, strong civic health and safe, sustainable communities. Hope is built in simple ways through these wishes – rocking chairs foster neighborhood pride and connection, furniture transforms a house into a home and new clothing instills self-confidence. Each is a building block to a stronger, more welcoming community, enhancing the quality of life for all in our region. 6 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY BLUE HERON NATURE PRESERVE Operating budget: $406,000 Thirty acres of protected wildlife are nestled in the heart of Buckhead at the Blue Wish List Heron Nature Preserve.

    JOIN OUR MOVEMENT Hundreds of public defenders Sharing a common vision Partnering with the communities Achieving equal justice In America we have lost sight of the humanity of our most vulnerable communities. As a result we have become indifferent to the injustice they experience in all walks of life. Our collective indifference to poverty, sub-standard education, mental health challenges, and substance abuse, drives a criminal justice system that is devastating low-income communities. Rather than deal with these issues, we criminalize those who fall victim to them. Public defenders are on the front lines to address these issues. Society’s mistreatment of its own citizens in the criminal justice system is a reflection of its lack commitment to equal justice. By interrupting routine injustice every day, public defenders serve as the conscience of our criminal justice system and the first line of defense to reclaim our democracy! By driving all of us to see the humanity of our most marginalized community-members, our public defenders: - Impact individual lives - Transform our criminal justice system - Drive a more equitable society AND THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!! www.gideonspromise.org 101 Marietta Street NW, Suite 250, Atlanta, GA 30303 Criminal Justice is this generation’s greatest civil and human rights struggle As the nation has been exposed to a seemingly endless stream of highly-publicized, violent citizen-police encounters, we are awakening to the reality that justice in America is not equal. But for every person killed by a police officer, hundreds of thousands more are arrested, processed into a prison cell, and left unable to ever participate in society in a meaningful way.

  • City Builder
    t5He CITY BUILDER ENGRAVING BY WRIGLEY PHOTOGRAPH BY REEVES BROAD STREET, ATLANTA, LOOKING NORTH Ma r c I 92 5 IP m HE GEORGIA RAILWAY & POWER COMPANY is deeply appreciative of the action of the City Council in voting for the elimination of un­ T regulated jitney competition with the street railroad. The action accords with our firm belief in the fairness of the city govern­ ment and the people themselves when fully informed of the facts. Plans are now being made for meeting the increased street railway trav­ el that is expected as soon as jitneys discontinue operation by increasing serv­ ice with additional cars. Present schedules will be augmented and speeded up wherever possible. We have arranged for immediate delivery of twenty new, large, modern street cars. We believe that the people of Atlanta realize that the enactment of the jitney ordinance is only the first step toward the complete solution of the transportation problem. We are confident that the citizens of Atlanta and their representatives in Council are ready and anxious to go ahead now with additional construc­ tive steps. Naturally the complete solution of the transportation problem will call for complete co-operation between the City and Company. Representatives of the Company are ready to meet in conference with representatives of the City to discuss all details of the transportation prob­ lem and arrive at definite conclusions and agreements for its permanent settlement in the public interest. We believe the time has come when every individual citizen, every busi­ ness organization and every civic organization should co-operate and get to­ gether on a broad constructive plan for building up the community.

  • Zoo Atlanta's Zambezi Elephant Center and Savanna Hall Awarded
    Zoo Atlanta’s Zambezi Elephant Center and Savanna Hall Awarded LEED Gold ATLANTA, July 7, 2020 — Helping to cap the most ambitious expansion in Zoo Atlanta’s history, both the Zambezi Elephant Center and Savanna Hall Renovation have officially earned LEED Gold certification. Administered by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program recognizes buildings across the world for design and construction geared toward conservation of resources and environmental health. At Zambezi Elephant Center, Epsten Group teamed up with the construction team at Winter Johnson Group to provide the elephants with a new home focused on optimal animal welfare while also providing a healthy environment for Elephant Care Team members and visitors. The care quarters maximize natural daylight for elephants and staff alike through the installation of glass roll-up doors and a translucent fiberglass clerestory. Through conscientious design and construction techniques, the building also balances the durability needed for the home of megafauna that can reach 13-feet in height and over 6 tons in weight and the energy performance standards of human-scaled buildings. Together with efficient LED lighting, building mechanical systems, and life-support filtration systems for the adjacent habitat’s waterfalls and pools, Zambezi Elephant Center was able to achieve a 16.9% energy cost savings relative to the standard baseline building. Savanna Hall is the embodiment of the adage that the greenest building is often the one that is already standing. By conserving 96% of the existing historic Cyclorama structure, the design and construction team was able to avoid many of the negative environmental impacts associated with construction of a brand-new facility.

  • Advises That NRC & Emergency Response Data Sys Contractor Will
    Florida Power and Light Company ATTN: Mr. J. H. Goldberg President - Nuclear P. 0. Box 14000 Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420 Gentlemen: SUBJECT: SUBJECT: EMERGENCY RESPONSE DATA SYSTEM (ERDS) MEETING Recently a new rule was published in 10 CFR Part 50 which affects the manner in which data is passed from nuclear power plants to the NRC Operations Center during accidents classified at the ALERT or higher emergency classification. The rule specifically requires the implementation of the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) by all power reactor licensees. In June 1991, you were forwarded a copy of NUREG-1394 (Rev. 1) which outlines the ERDS implementation program. Among the NRC responsibilities in the implementation of ERDS at a utility is to provide a "site visit" during which site specific implementation needs may be discussed. These meetings are conducted by the NRC ERDS Project Officer and the ERDS implementation contractor. Utilities are generally represented by the' personnel assigned to staff the project. This normally includes representatives of licensing, emergency planning, and computer staff. In order to provide the most efficient performance of site visits, the NRC Project Officer and the ERDS contractor will provide a week long series of ERDS meetings at each of the NRC regional offices. Region II will be visited during the dates of October 1-4, 1991. The format for these visits will be structured so that no utility will be required to spend more than one day at the regional office. A copy of the daily schedule and agenda is enclosed. As you can see, the program will begin with a presentation of the program and a short demonstration followed by individual licensee meetings with the EROS Project Officer and the implementation contractor.
