Thank you for the invitation to the 2006 Annual Peace and Dialogue Awards dinner. It was an honor to attend the tribute to Fr. Garanzini. The Niagara Foundation is making a great contribution to Chicago’s civic life and I commend you for all your efforts. I look forward to seeing you again before too long.

Kemal - it was a lovely event with wonderful speakers, each of whom had
an interesting story to share with the attendees. The room, the service

I am grateful for the award and extremely honored to be on the same platform with such distinguished people. Both Marcia and I are honored that Loyola received two honors.
My words about the beauty and wisdom of the Turkish people and the value that this award ceremony brings to all of us--show-casing those who work for peace and service, makes me proud that Niagara exists and is doing this kind of work.
Your ceremony was beautiful. The place was wonderful and the entire evening a delight. Those who attended from Loyola told me already how honored they felt to be there last week.
Again, thank you for this terrific honor.
Fr. Michael Garanzini
President, Loyola University Chicago
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to meet so many delightful, kind people. To hear their stories and those of their associates was a blessing. I know that the evening will stay with me and Katie forever. I hope that the great work you and your associates do will inspire so many others to keep peace and communications alive.
It was a true pleasure working with you.

I'm always impressed by how well Niagara events are organized and the quality of
people that attend. Presidents of two universities, Martin Marty, major journalists
- this is extremely impressive.
Please congratulate your team for me for a very successful event.

Thank you so very much for the wonderful honor you bestowed upon me (and the station) last night. It was a truly lovely evening and I was very humbled to be included among such an amazing group of community leaders as you honored last night. Congratulations on what must have been a very successful event for the Foundation.

The evening was certainly a highlight, we were glad to meet your colleagues and friends and especially Sevgi.
I will always cherish that beautiful award and the thinking that went into awarding it.
You can be sure that I'll do what I can to spread word of Niagara Foundation.
The reception and dinner were perfect. We both appreciated hearing of the work of awardees. Still, all in all, it was such a fine time.
And you are a good humble Master of Ceremonies who moved things right along!

I wanted to send a quick note of thanks for a wonderful evening at NIAGARA 2006 Peace and Dialogue Awards.
I was impressed with all of the VIPs that were in attendance and thought the event was extremely classy.
My wonderful evening was made even better when I realized that a friend from the 8th District was there: Jane Thomas! She was there because her Rabbi was being honored.

I cannot thank you and the Niagara Foundation for the invitation to attend the 2006 Annual Peace & Dialog Awards. I was very impressed with the evening's activities. We, in Mount Prospect, are very lucky to have an organization like yours in our community.
