Romanian Tribune Newspaper & Radio

MOVING FORWARD FOR GREATER IMPACT!

Howard Commons Professional Office Center

WHY DO WE NEED YOUR HELP?

The Romanian-American Network Inc. is a not-for-profit non-governmental media organization serving the Romanian community through publishing projects since August 1995.

As we move forward and relocate into a new facility,
we would like to gain your support for the following immediate future projects:

- Moving the editorial offices of Romanian Tribune Newspaper to a new space at Howard Commons 

- Reopening of Conference Center & Events Room

- Completing the inventory of all books and reopening the Romanian Library for public use (members only)

- Launching „Romanian Tribune” Radio 

- Organizing cultural and networking events

And ... last, but not least: 

> we would like to balance the budget and pay off the outstanding debt left from the last edition of the Romanian Heritage Festival of 2013. Some of you, aware of the situation, have suggested to open up and give everyone the opportunity to help in this need.

WHY NOW? WHY NOT EARLIER?
We anticipated and planned our relocation and the next important steps in moving forward since last February, but we did not want to make our plans public until we were certain that we can keep our promises to you all. And now we can! We can implement the first items on our agenda and once all funds are received we can implement them all.

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF > T E A M
One of our mentors said: "If an organization or business is not seeking to surpass its own success and achievements soon, it is only a matter of time before someone else will. That would most likely push that organization or business in unwanted retirement!"

Besides, we totally love what we are doing and we are certaing that we can do it even better if we have more people's support.
Together Everyone Achieves More!

NEW BEGINNINGS - RENEWED VISION

Last January, on our newspaper’s 13th anniversary, we formed an official Board of Advisors made up of 40 community leaders and business people. These men of integrity have already been seeking the betterment of our publication and its active role in the community.

In an effort to better serve our community, we have just signed a 7-year lease for office space in the professional business center known as Howard Commons, in Niles.

Renovation will take place during the month of July, to accomodate the new home of Romanian-American Network Inc. The new space will comfortably accomodate a total of 6 offices, a large library and conference room, and a display room designated for the Romanian Village Folk Crafts Exhibit.

4 OFFICES AVAILABLE to our future Exclusive Executive Members of the Romanian-American Network's Business Club (*)

Two of the six suites will be used by the Romanian Tribune Newspaper & Radio, while the other 4 offices will be available to our Exclusive Executive Members of our Business Club (*).


Suites 101 through 104 are available to supporters who choose to become Exclusive Executive Members of the Business Club (*). They will benefit from a package of services which include extensive marketing, media, and networking opportunities. 

(*) The Romanian-American Network’s Business Club is a group of business-minded people, who actively network and serve in the Romanian-American community.

THE ROMANIAN TRIBUNE NEWSPAPER

The Romanian Tribune Newspaper, edited and published monthly by the Romanian-American Network Inc, has been distributed for FREE since January 2002.

Since our April 2015 edition (No. 255), the Romanian Tribune Newspaper is printed on 56 pages, with a distribution of 9,000 printed copies, thus being the largest Romanian printed publication in USA.

Our online presence has been consistently increasing, to over 200% in the past year.

Our official site is:  
www.TRIBUNA.US

THE ROMANIAN TRIBUNE RADIO
The Romanian Tribune Radio will be an additional asset to serve the community. Our collaboration with media outlets from Romania and the Republic of Moldova will provide unique reports and live broadcasts, available to the public for free on the air, online, and on mobile.

THE ROMANIAN LIBRARY & CONFERENCE ROOM
The new Library & Conference Room, with its 1,050 sf space, offers the members of our Book Club and of our Business Club opportunities to organize private events here.

 We believe that this unique collection of over 15,000 books (of which close to 2/3 are in Romanian language) should be made available to public. As such, we seek your help and involvement in collecting the required funds to hire a designated librarian and reopen the library for public use.

We opened the Romanian library for the first time in December 2002, at our older location on Caldwell Ave. and due to flooding and severe damages were forced to close it in spring of 2005. We managed to save about 80% of our inventory. We moved the library in 2009 into a much more appropriate setting but due to lack of funds we never hired a librarian, and never completed the inventory of all books.



WE NEED EVERYONE'S HELP!
As we seek to better serve the community, we ask for your involvement in our organization's future. Your contribution can make a difference and help us have a greater impact!
