November Greetings Integral City-zens and Friends of Integral City
 
Today's Integral City Sparkie for the City Heart: Organizations can be and need to be based on spiritual and humanitarian values. They can be visionary in the society while meeting needs, providing jobs, making a profit, and performing the work of the society. They can also be facilitative of health.
