Millennium's Association with the UN/DPI
&
A Call for 6th Anniversary E-Publication
Dear LM Friends, Representatives, Volunteers, Supporters;
We are proud that our application for "association"
with the United Nations - Department of Public Information (application date:
August 8, 2005), was evaluated and approved
by the committee. Thus, we are entitled
as an "associated" NGO with the
UN/DPI as of December 2005.From this point on, we will have to include this information in
all our e-publications, events and possible TV programs. We also should
plan joint events with the United Nations/Department
of Public Information in order to disseminate
the UN's philosophy, which has also inspired
LM in conjunction of the 1st Bill of the
U.S. Constitution.
