Building Resilient Community YMCA OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS BUILDING RESILIENT COMMUNITY printed on 100% recycled paper 2020 ANNUAL REPORT universityymca.org THE Y COMMUNITY STARTS HERE Each year when I sit down to write this letter, I spend some time looking back at the year and reflecting on the impact of our programs, the challenges we faced and what lies ahead. This year is a little different for a couple of reasons. First, this is my last time writing a letter for the Annual Report since I’m retiring at the end of 2020. So like many of the seniors who are graduating and several who are featured in this report, I find myself excited about the changes that lie ahead but also appreciative of the people who embraced me as part of the University Y community. It’s been an honor to work with deeply committed volunteers, a devoted and hard-working staff and students who promise to be tomorrow’s leaders.

Before that time, only one bishop served within an ecclesial province as sole spiritual leader of that region. Those clerics who hold this dignity are properly entitled “Titular Bishops” whom the Holy See has simultaneously assigned to assist a local Ordinary in the exercise of his episcopal responsibilities. The term ‘Auxiliary’ refers to the supporting role that the titular bishop provides a residential bishop but in every way, auxiliaries embody the fullness of the episcopal dignity. Although the Church considers both Linus and Cletus to be the first auxiliary bishops, as Assistants to St. Peter in the See of Rome, the first mention of the actual term “auxiliary bishop” was made in a decree by Pope Leo X (1513‐1521) entitled de Cardinalibus Lateranses (sess. IX). In this decree, Leo confirms the need for clerics who enjoy the fullness of Holy Orders to assist the Cardinal‐Bishops of the Suburbicarian Sees of Ostia, Velletri‐Segni, Sabina‐Poggia‐ Mirteto, Albano, Palestrina, Porto‐Santo Rufina, and Frascati, all of which surround the Roman Diocese.

    Letter of Registration and Return July 1999 Unto the members of the Imperial College of Arms does Lord Nigel the Byzantine, Fleur-de-Lis King of Arms, send Greetings and Salutations! Fellow Heralds: There's a lot of ground to cover this month, so please bear with me. News I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that, thanks to Sir James of March de Coirnoir, we have recovered a copy of the pre-Split Armorial. The bad news is that, thanks to Sir James of March de Coirnoir, we have recovered a copy of the pre-Split Armorial. It's good news because a lot of things that were lost in the Time of Great Sadness can now be entered into the current Armorial. It's bad news because that meant a heckuva lot more work for yours truly. That's why this LoRR is so late. However, that project is now complete. As part of the Armorial Project, I am including in this packet are several items: Armorial It's Here! It's Here! The first Armorial the Empire has seen since 1996! This is the complete listing as of 30 June 1999 of the Adrian Armorial, arranged in order by Game Name. Please look it over for any errors. We will publish corrections here in the LoRR. ©Adrian Empire, Inc.

However, these sumptuary laws, as they were known,3 were generally a failure, for many reasons. Those who wished to ignore them often could do so with impunity.4 The frequency of such legislation is a sign both of the perceived importance of The author would like to acknowledge the assistance of Professor Bruce Christianson and Ms Susan North in the preparation of this paper.

  • 1 President's Message
    PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by David M. Cvet Summer is upon us with a vengeance, breaking temperature records from the 1930's – at least in Toronto. The warmer weather has had some fits and starts, with warm weather followed by frost, causing newly planted peppers and tomatoes to be damaged beyond saving. However, these exciting events pale in comparison to seeing the Queen's Beasts (some depicted on the right) who will be attending the Society's formal dinner at this year's Annual General Meeting, scheduled for October 1-3, 2010 in Ottawa. The Annual Meeting itself will be held at the Delta Ottawa Hotel on Queen Street. The Saturday evening dinner will take place at the Canadian Museum of Civilization (across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebec), which will provide a grand setting for our annual banquet, graced as it will be with these impressive “guests”. We are indeed grateful to David Rumball for organizing this event, and for arranging with the museum to have the Queen's Beasts available for the dinner. I encourage our members to make the necessary calendar and travel to enhance the “coolness” factor of the Society in order to attract arrangements to attend this splendid event. new members – and to retain our present ones. One important reason for having the AGM in Ottawa this year As an example, at the recent Toronto Branch AGM (combined (rather than being hosted by the Prairie Branch, as it would have with the Society's Board meeting earlier the same day) the been in the usual sequence) is the expectation that the new formal dinner at Hart House was visually recorded by a Canadian Heraldic Authority tabard (donated by the Society) photographer I had arranged as my guest.

    Spartan Daily .'olume 76, Number 1 Serving the San Jose State Community Since 1934 Friday, January 23, 1981 Technical problems hound KSJS radio by Jeffrey R. Smith KSJS, the campus radio station, has been given 90 days to bring its broadcast signal within Federal Communications Commission standards, according to KSJS student manager Chet Davis. The station could not meet the FCC's engineering standards because of the hum and distortion caused by the station's obsolete audio console. The audio console mixes the radio signal which is sent to the tran- smitter. All sound heard over the air is sent through the console, which is used to mix sound from more than one tui ritaLle or cartridge-tape machine. Occasionally, the KSJS console would lose one channel, producing sound in only one of the listener's stereo speakers. Because of the sound problems and other signal imperfections which could only be detected by electronic testing, the station was faced with either purchasing a new console or jeopardizing its FCC license. Davis said that in the last six months the station spent about $1,500 to conduct six tests of its engineering quality, each of which showed that KSJS was operating below specifications. Since surplus funds were unavailable for a new console, KSJS has canceled its other orders for major equipment purchases to help pay for a replacement, according to chief engineer Mike Gallagher. The Theatre Arts Department, which controls KSJS's finances, also had to cancel its requests for two $1,200 cartridge-tape mactunes used for taping jingles and music and a request for replacement lamps for the lights in the television studio, according to Prof.
