It gives me great pleasure to inform you about an important endeavor that will open a new dynamic period in the relationship between our two leading countries of the world community, Russia and the United States. In April of 2010 the oldest Russian language newspaper in America, Novoye Russkoye Slovo, will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of its first issue. In the century of its existence Novoye Ruskoye Slovo (New Russian Word) has become the oldest and most widely read Russian-language newspaper in the United States and certainly the most popular newspaper among millions of Russianspeaking people around the World. For the vast exodus of Russian-speaking people, this newspaper has been a vital source of information that is inseparably connected with historical events of Russian culture, literature and politics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The founding role of the newspaper helped establish a communication venue for its readers and a way of keeping the Russian language alive. Novoye Russkoye Slovo’s important contributions have been celebrated in the past by Presidents of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, Vladimir Putin, and Boris Yeltsin, and this newspaper’s direct involvement in the development of the Russian-American community has been noted by United States Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gerald R. Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, William J. Clinton, and George W. Bush. On behalf of Novoye Russkoye Slovo, I welcome your involvement as a partner and sponsor of this Anniversary Ceremony along with the expected presence of the President of The United States of America and the Russian Federation. Participation in these commemorative activities has been already confirmed by Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Congressmen Anthony Weiner and Jerrold Nadler, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Governor David Paterson. The opening ceremony will include the presence of the President of United States Barack H. Obama and the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. During the celebration you will have the unique opportunity to be at the center of an international event and join an elite circle of influential politicians, leading business people, and renowned cultural dignitaries. Your participation will be especially valuable as you take part in world community history. All cultural, commercial, social, charitable, and celebratory receptions will be organized with the purpose of publicizing the 100th anniversary of the newspaper, and the development of the traditionally friendly relationship between our two countries. This grand celebration will be attended by the international news media and world history will record an important Centennial Anniversary. The itinerary of your attendance will be planned in advance by our staff in order to achieve the maximum benefit to your business and the sponsorship package you select. We take full responsibility to fulfill all your wishes. I will appreciate any level of sponsorship and support of the project and your interest in participation in the upcoming events. I trust our partnership, as always, will be strong and mutually rewarding.
