Clarification needed from UMD

What does "50,000 international affiliates" mean?

Message from Metodija A. Koloski, President, of the United Macedonian Diaspora:


Dear Friend of the Macedonian Community:

We are thrilled to announce a special presentation at the Closing Night Gala honouring Mr. John L.N. Bitove, C.M. with the UMD Lifetime Achievement Award. As a prominent businessman, member of the Order of Canada, and staunch philanthropist, John Bitove is a long time supporter, activist and pillar within the Macedonian Community.

As a non-profit organization, United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD) is an international non-governmental organization that addresses the interests and needs of Macedonians and Macedonian communities throughout the world.

[Pavel]

maybe meato transcribed one of his wet dreams into a press release??

what can you tell us about this case prolet??

[UMDiaspora.org]

We have 50,000 individualls internationally on our e-mailing list through UMD own e-mailing list and Facebook lists, causes, and groups. All the Facebook lists, causes, and groups that UMD or our President Metodija A. Koloski administer are public information.

[Soldier of Macedon]

What's the nature of the affiliation aside from having these individuals on your mailing list? I know members of the MTO who are on your emailing list, are they too affiliates? If the MTO had 1,000,000 people on their emailing list, would we be able to classify all of these people as affiliates? I don't think so.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/affiliation

Affiliation.

1. To adopt or accept as a member, subordinate associate, or branch: The HMO affiliated the clinics last year.
2. To associate (oneself) as a subordinate, subsidiary, employee, or member: affiliated herself with a new law firm.
3. To assign the origin of.
v.intr.
To become closely connected or associated: The two unions voted to affiliate.
n. (--t, -t)
A person, organization, or establishment associated with another as a subordinate, subsidiary, or member: network affiliates.

Where exactly does someone like Risto the Great fit into the picture, for example? Is he not an 'affiliate'? Or is he? I think your terminology has developed a track record of inaccuracy.

[Grotius]

Here we go again, the typical spin we expect from the boy wonder. Once again being inappropriately ambiguous in an attempt to deceive people into thinking he has any sort of credibility. This is just amateurish. One day he might realise that this actually turns most people off, rather than the other way around.

Prolet, where are you? As the UMD's deputy here, you normally swallow this rubbish? What's going on here? What can you tell us about this marketing ploy?

[Prolet]

Grotius, Why are you so upset with me? You know im not the UMD port parol here, i simply quoted UMD sources from interviews its up to them to explain it.

[BigMak]

Well i'm an affiliate then, I also could be classified as a tinkac

Meto koloski real or fake leader

There is rumours in melbourne that when meto was in sheldon receptions he was dancing napred to a serbian dance, is there someone that knows if this is true or not? And is it true that he personally agrees with adding or changing our biblical name? united macedonia

[julie]

Welcome to the forum DIMO, I suggest you read some previous threads, that will be in the affirmative that he did request and dance a Serbian dance, anything else perhaps you should ask him directly.

[DIMO]

so once again another fake leader in our community and some people think the next goce delcev what a joke.

NYC, LA, and Chicago A Name is A Name Premieres

UMD is currently in the planning stages of organizing the New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago premieres of A Name is A Name. As you can imagine, the expense of booking a theatre in the heart of these cities, travel expenses to bring the Director Sigurjon Einarsson over from Norway, and marketing can be high in pricing. UMD is looking for sponsors and supporters for these events. Each event is estimated to cost between $5,000-$7,500 to organize.

If you would like to support these premieres, please contact Diana Popstefanova at [email protected] or (202) 756-2244.

To make a donation, please visit https://web.memberclicks.com/mc/quic...d&formId=69654 and select Fund for Macedonian Cultural Awareness and Promotion and your donation will be attributed to these premieres.
