HOW WILL WE ACHIEVE OUR
MISSION?
By publishing a monthly
e-magazine in a multi-languages format as a global
free platform for all generations, genders, nations,
cultures and mainly encouraging intellectual productivity
in written, visual and multi-media format at any
age and level. (Currently we publish 3 to 4 times
a year, in English and Turkish.)
By establishing a national
and international corps of volunteers representing
the organization.
By launching an “On-Line
Interactive Discussion Platform” on the Light
Millennium’s web site, based on questions
and subjects selected quarterly by board members,
volunteers, representatives, correspondents and
participants.
By expanding broadcasting
of the Light Millennium TV programs in New York
and other states, as well as producing new documentaries
and television programs related to art, culture,
peace, social and global issues.
(Depending on funds and sponsorship, crew and
equipment availability.)
By organizing “special
events” for inter-cultural relations, harmony,
and synergy, that will promote our mission as well
as provide us with fundraising opportunities.
By conducting a letter
campaign to introduce the organization to more than
3000 thousand foundations, organizations, corporations
and government agencies nationally and internationally
until the year 2005.
By obtaining grants,
funds, and sponsorships for the organization’s
start-up financial needs, as well as for special
projects and activities already in planning through
the year 2005.
(Please see other side of brochure for more
details on our wish list of projects.)
Light Millennium embraces myriad ideas and has been shaped by you
since January 2000.
Thank you for being part of the Light Millennium.
Be in peace, love and light.
