American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

The American Recovery and Reinvestment ACT (ARRA), signed into law on
2/17/2009 by President Obama, contains many initiatives that are being rolled
out to help the country's small businesses during these challenging times.

The ARRA has numerous tax incentives and credit stimulus elements targeted
to help small business owners as they navigate these challenging times. In
particular the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has been authorized to
temporarily eliminate most borrower fees associated with new guaranteed
loans. Many more provisions in the ARRA provide stimulus to the economy and
involve other Federal and State agencies.

To learn more about the changes within the SBA, go to
http://www.sba.gov/recovery/index.html. The site can be accessed through
the Vermont District Office's SBA website at:
http://www.sba.gov/localresources/district/vt/index.html. Other Federal and
State Agencies will have information as to how the act can benefit you and
your small business as well.

We encourage you to seek out more information and support with your
business efforts by viewing these websites or by calling us at the Vermont
SBA District Office in Montpelier. We can be reached at (802) 828-4422, and
look forward to assisting you.

Former SBA San Diego District Director George Chandler obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we inform you that George Peel Chandler, Jr., a
committed board member of the International Community Foundation, died on
March 6, 2009 when he was tragically hit by a car running a red light as he
was returning home from the San Diego Natural History Museum's Dos Aguilas
event where our foundation's President was being honored.

A memorial service is scheduled on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 10:00 am
followed by an internment at El Camino Memorial Park Cemetery, 5600 Carroll
Canyon Road, San Diego, CA. A "Celebration of Life" tribute to George Chandler
is scheduled following the internment at 12:30 pm at the San Diego Air &
Space Museum located at 2001 Pan American Plaza, Balboa Park, San Diego,
CA 92101

George was born in Knoxville , TN , a gentleman in the truest Southern
tradition. He attended the University of Tennessee where he earned his BS in
Electrical Engineering, graduating with honors. He followed by serving in Europe
as a US Air Force officer, responsible for a Nike missile site.

Remaining in Europe after discharge, he accepted a position as engineering
executive with International Telephone & Telegraph Company.

After working abroad, George returned to school where he attended the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management,
earning an M.S. degree in Management. George then commenced a career
lasting 21 years with the National Aeronautics & Space Agency (NASA).

While working at NASA, George undertook increasingly important tasks,
including serving as the NASA Headquarters Mission Engineer for Apollo 4, 10,
11 (first manned lunar landing) and 13. From 1976 to 1981, he was the
Director of NASAʼs Scientific and Technical Information Program, Washington,
DC where his accomplishments included establishing one of the world's largest,
most sophisticated data bases with two million titles, 60,000 acquisitions and
world-wide on-line search capability. At one time he worked directly with the
renowned rocketry genius Dr. Werner Von Braun.

In 1981, George decided to return to his roots as a small business
entrepreneur following on the footsteps of his father who owned the largest
printing company in East Tennessee . His extensive federal career, however,
led him to believe that he could best champion the ideals of small business
ownership by becoming Director of the San Diego District Office of the US
Small Business Administration (SBA).

From 1981 through 2005, George served SBA as its local Director, and through
his leadership the office increased annual financing obtained by small
businesses from $20 million to $400 million, total loan portfolio from $200 million
to $3 billion, and government contracts awarded to small businesses from $10
million to $110 million. Several years running, the San Diego District Office was
named the best performing SBA office in the entire country.

George was the inspirational, founding Chairman of MIT Enterprise Forum, San
Diego . He also was named to the newly organized Board of Directors of the
MIT Club of San Diego, where he served with commitment and loyalty as a
model leader expanding interest and membership. His engaging personality and
reliable presence at most functions served to connect alumni of every age to
the organization's membership rolls.

George was an engaged civic leader. In addition to this leadership role with
SBA he also served in several key committee roles with the San Diego Chamber
of Commerce and served as a member of the City of San Diego's Economic
Development Task Force. George also led several community group trips to the
USSR and Peoples Republic of China .

With the International Community Foundation, George served on the
foundation's board since 2006 and held leadership positions as Board Secretary
as well as serving as a member of the Investment Committee. His role on the
board of directors of Mainly Mozart gives breath to his interest and support of
the arts in the San Diego-Baja California region.

George is survived by his wife, Irene Chandler of La Jolla, brother, John
Chandler of Ocala , Fla. and sister, Carol Evans Chandler of South Carolina .

George left us all too quickly, but he will be remembered by us all as a superior
example of one man's commitment to the public good. He will be sorely missed.

In lieu of flowers, George's family has asked that donations be sent to in his
memory to Mainly Mozart, the International Community Foundation and/or the
San Diego Air & Space Museum . Donations in George's honor may be made
online or sent to the following address:

International Community Foundation
2505 N Avenue
National City , Ca. 91950
