From: "CNY Latino - Hugo Acosta" <hacosta@cnylatino.com>

Hi everyone..!

 For a while I though we all disappeared since I haven't heard from any in a long time...

 A suddenly death in the family forced me to leave the country for a while, and had to put aside some errands and other obligations. However, I did followed up with the "Save the date" part of my promotional assignment on March 24th and I mailed some letters of invitations on April 1st to some of the addresses I got from the "little" databases I received. I also tried to connect for the last meeting, but after holding for about 8 to 10 minutes, I didn't get anybody in phone conference.

 The Latino Upstate Summit website was activated on March 20, and it is live at the following URL address:

 http://www.latinoupstatesummit.org

As you can see there are some sections (web-pages) that either need content (material to describe the topic of that page), or need to be enhanced to a better content. For instance, I need individual information of every and each one of the organizations that are either organizing this event, or participating somehow in the making of it. Lourdes, I need information about you, and about the first Latino Upstate Summit. I also need from somebody in Rochester, to put together factual information about "Latinos in Rochester", to compliment "the State of Latinos" section (I will put together the part for the Nation and maybe Alberto Gonzales will do the part for New York state..?)

Need a better content from what it is placed in the "ORGANIZERS' page (organizers.html), specially material that should have been developed by Lourdes Iglesias

 I wanted the "floating images" of the homepage to be with "Sponsors" logos (instead of the "organizers" like it is now), we need to get the logos of the Sponsors we are going to have. (like I temporarily placed in the "sponsors" section [sponsors.html], therefore, I need to know about those sponsors (if we have any, besides Excellus), so I can place those images in the homepage

A similar floating images" script is placed in the "Organizers" section, which means I need the "real" logo for each one of our organizations. I need everybody's logos in a compatible digital format (.jpeg format) in two

sizes: rectangular (no more than 150 dpi and inside the 300 x 60 pixels) AND square (no more than 150 dpi and inside the 150 x 50 pixels)

 The placement of Secondary banners is arbitrary... if a "Sponsorship package procedure" is not established and followed, the committee (or somebody) should decide what banners to place where.

 I need content for the following sections:

Latinos in NY State [latinostate.htm] (by Alberto Gonzales) Information about the very first Summit in Buffalo [pastLUS.htm ] (by Lourdes Iglesias) Information about Lourdes Iglesias [LourdesIglesias.html] (by Lourdes Iglesias)

 I need information about the Sponsors we have (so far) to be placed in the "LIST OF SPONSORS" section of the website (ListSponsors.html)

Maybe I need a better content from what it is placed in the "ORGANIZERS'

page [organizers.html], specially material that should have been developed by Lourdes Iglesias

 I mailed about 190 "Save the Date" cards in the middle of March, I got about 20 returned, and a few dozen answered; I am planning to send more this coming week (need more databases from some of you). I am also planning to contact a couple of Radio stations in Rochester and Syracuse, to start getting an idea what will it take to get promotion through these medias (I might need some help to reach the Albany and Buffalo radio markets). I will also send "press releases" to newspapers and other media list I have in my database, maybe by June or so (if you have your own Media list that you can share with mine, please, submit it to append it and check if I have any missing contact or similar).

Attached to this email, I placed a sample of the letter I prepared last month, with the intention to request notice of interest, since I didn't have much more information to provide. If approved, this is meant to be sent to some key people, to see the possible interest for the possible participation in the summit. Without having some numbers and more specific information about the summit (like fees, schedules, etc.), I could not send a more formalized letter, indicating those specifics.

There is going to be other issues I will bring during the meeting today (I will be present in Rochester, since I have a meeting scheduled there by 1:00 PM). Hopefully all the stuff from my part will be cleared out and ready for promotion and advertisement

The Capital District 100 Hispanic Women

To All Members:

On May 3, 2008, the NYS Office and Temporary and Disability Assistance 
and the NYS Office of Children and Family Services, along with the 
Albany New York Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Inc. will be hosting a 
"Youth Empowerment Summit" at the New York State United Teachers 
(NYSUT) Headquarters located at 800 Troy-Schenectady Road in Latham, 
NY 12110.  The summit will be host to 140 teenagers (ages 13-18 years) 
from various youth organizations around the Capital Region.

The Capital District 100 Hispanic Women has been allocated 10 youth 
participant slots (5 females & 5 males) for children of members of our 
chapter.  The ages of the youth participants must be between 13 - 18 
years old.  The Board Member organizing this activity for the youth of 
our chapter is Gloria Herman (Treasurer of the Board), who is the 
designated chaperone.  Gloria will be attending with her son.  If you 
are interested in having your teen son or daughter attend this summit, 
please contact Gloria as soon as possible at GCCS0408@yahoo.com.  
These slots will be filled "first come - first serve" in the order 
that they are received.

The Youth Empowerment Summit is scheduled to be held from 9:00 am -  4:30 pm.  The day will open with a plenary session and a keynote 
address, followed by a day of youth centered workshops. The workshops will include several  of the following topics:  Financial Responsibility, Community Service, Impact of Media on Youth, Conflict Resolution, Employment and Careers, Parenting Risk and Responsibility and more.

The summit will close with an open forum and discussion on various topics of the day.   There is no cost for participation in the Youth Empowerment Summit, however, all youth participants will need to  submit a parental consent form which will allow their child to participate in a questionnaire study.  This is included as a zipped attachment to this email, along with a Summit Flyer and draft descriptions of the workshops.

Again, please contact Gloria at her e-mail of  GCCS0408@yahoo.com if 
you are interested in your child attending this summit.  This is a 
wonderful opportunity for all youth, and upon reading the workshop 
descriptions of this summit, it looks to be a great one!

Los Ducks están aca en Albany

Tengo el agrado de informar que Albany tendrá giras en bote por "DUCK".

Me asocié con otros dos personas y vamos a ofrecer giras en bote a la ciudad de Albany, en un vehiculo Hidra-Terra, que empezara en el puerto e ira al agua en la rampa al Hudson en el "Corning Preserve", y terminara la gira en el agua. La gira será informativa pero mas que nada muy divertida!

El DUCK tiene 46 asientos, ventanas de subir y bajar y un baño. Las giras comenzaran en Mayo. Van a ver giras programadas todos los días y saldrán del "Visitors Center" ubicado en "Quackenbush Square". Ustedes nos verán también en eventos públicos y locales. Nosotros podemos separar especiales para compañías o fiestas infantiles. Ahora ustedes podrán venir al centro de la ciudad y pasar un buen DIA.
