The American
Multiethnic Educational and Promotional
Center (AMEPC) was created in 2006 to
implement numerous projects in American
communities of émigrés from Eastern Europe. Our company's motto is: For tolerance
and harmony in relations between the various
ethnic groups in the USA.
AMEPC did not emerge out of
nowhere, but combined the intellectual,
technical, and publishing resources of
companies belonging to Alex Babich: Lingua
Communications Translation Services (founded
in 1989), Ring of Fortune (founded in 1995),
the Ring of Fortune magazine which
was first published in 1995, and also the
work and creative connections of these
companies with numerous American and ethnic
mass media |
AMEPC quickly and loudly
made its presence felt, having implemented a unique
project - issuing wall calendars in five languages in
late 2006 (Russian - for Russian-speaking Jews and
Russian Christians; Ukrainian, Polish, Bulgarian, and
Lithuanian) with a total printing of 75,000.
AMEPC,
jointly with NLBC Corporation, is the co-founder
of the most popular festival of Greater Chicago among
émigrés from Eastern Europe - the Lifeway Foods
Festival, which annually brings together tens of
thousands of people. The State's governor, US congress
people, and mayors of our cities are regular guests of
the Festival.
In 2007, AMEPC began
preparing to implement yet another unique project:
publishing People's Books - ready reference books which
will be published first in Lithuanian, Ukrainian, and
Russian, and later on in other languages and in other
U.S. cities (see the corresponding People's Books
banners). Thus, we will appeal to the more than
300,000-strong émigré community from Lithuania (per
local Lithuanian media sources) and more than 300,000
Ukrainians living here (per local Ukrainian media
sources) in the vicinity of Greater Chicago, and more
than 400,000 Russian-speaking Americans living in the
vicinity of Greater Chicago and Milwaukee, Wisconsin
(per local ethnic Yellow pages and media sources).
Today we will work to see
that our books, which with the help of radio,
newspapers, magazines, and the Internet we will create
together with you, end up in your home and become a
useful companion in your daily lives. Tomorrow we will
appeal to other communities and other cities.
Friends, we'll meet with you on the pages of our unique books, at our joint events, and on our
friendly websites. Good luck to us all. |
