    All Member Business Division AB01: BEST EXAMPLE OF EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING PROMOTION ORIGINATING WITH THE PUBLICATION OR PUBLICATION'S WEBSITE First Place Rhode Island Catholic, “Bishop Tobin Ad Promotion” by Richard Lafond Very nice. The writing is long-winded, flowery and 'flowy'—but quite elegant and fitting for the occasion. The whole story is there (in just 1 page). I know exactly what's happening—and I dont know the man and I have never been there.The shift in sizes and fonts—message to message—is very very smooth and beautiful. The page is nicely laid out. The masthead at the bottom even plays like part of the text.Finally, the call for advertising is subtle and concise—and does not draw away from (or override) the event, or the man. Second Place Northwest Catholic, “Senior VItality” by Keri Hake, Advertising Sales Manager, Ron Anderson, Advertising Representative This is an excellent advertisement and the theme/message could not possibly be more relevant: 18,000 families facing critical decisions on life/death. That said, there are a few shortcomings. The layout is 'cramped' in two spots: 1. Beneath 'October 17' (text: 'Reservations due: August 16 Materials due: August 30') The text is crowding in on itself. And we don't know What reservations? What materials? My eyes havent even hit the photo. It's confusing and it gets lost. The information should be at the bottom (as a part of a call to action) and the text layout, visually, needs an extra buffer space. 2. The text is similarly cramped beneath the “125,000 Catholic Families Need Your Help” headline.

    FINANCIAL REPORT to the People of the Archdiocese of Washington | Fiscal Year 2019-20 | February 2021 My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ – t the center of our Christian life – and the life of this local Church – is how we care about and for one another. In both good and difficult times, the People of God boldly live in our communities as a light Aof hope and faith in service to those we daily encounter. One of my many great privileges, as your Archbishop, is to see up-close the good work that the men and women in our ministries, parishes, schools and programs do for others. They are the people who animate me, inspire me, and give me hope as they care for our spiritual family and our neighbors. This Financial Report presents but a small picture of this much larger and extraordinary story that plays out every day in real life, while also offering continued transparency and accountability of the stewardship of this local Church. This prudent use of funds received by the Archdiocese also regularly undergoes independent audits and multi-level reviews. More detailed information is available for review online at www.adw.org. The past several months of the public health emergency have been filled with the sorrows of physical and societal sickness, economic hardship, as well as the trials of social distancing. These realities have impressed upon us how very much we need one another. Although many of these matters were present before and will be a reality after the COVID-19 pandemic, through it all, our message and mission are the same.

    "THE BOMBS THAT DROP IN EL SALVADOR EXPLODE IN MOUNT PLEASANT:" FROM COLD WAR CONFLAGRATION TO IMMIGRANT STRUGGLES IN WASHINGTON, DC, 1970-1995 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Patrick Daniel Scallen, M.A. Washington, DC July 22, 2019 Copyright 2019 by Patrick Daniel Scallen All Rights Reserved ii "THE BOMBS THAT DROP IN EL SALVADOR EXPLODE IN MOUNT PLEASANT:" FROM COLD WAR CONFLAGRATION TO IMMIGRANT STRUGGLES IN WASHINGTON, DC, 1970-1995 Patrick Daniel Scallen, M.A. Thesis Advisors: John Tutino, Ph.D. and Joseph McCartin, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This study charts the rise of metropolitan Washington, DC’s largest immigrant population from its roots in the post-war international economy through the end of the Salvadoran civil war (1980-1992). It traces Salvadorans as they migrated from a country wracked by economic disparity, social inequality, dashed democratic hopes, and government-perpetrated mass killings to the capital of the foreign nation most responsible for the conditions they fled. Part of the Latino immigrant community in the District of Columbia that emerged as Washington became the capital of world capitalism following World War II, Salvadorans had carved out a space for themselves as a small but notable ethnic minority when civil war erupted, displacing hundreds of thousands of their countryfolk. Those who survived the journey to the United States were subsequently denied refugee status by the Reagan administration, which was bent on casting the Salvadoran conflict in Cold War terms.
