SUMMARY:Book Launch July 12: Bucharest Diary\, by former Amb\, Alfred Moses
DESCRIPTION:In the 1970s\, American attorney Alfred H. Moses was approached on the streets of Bucharest by young Jews seeking help to emigrate from Communist Romania to Israel. This became Moses’ mission until the Communist regime fell in 1989. In the ensuing years\, he periodically met with dictator Nicolae Ceausescu to confirm the right of Jews to freely leave the country. \nIn recognition of Moses’ work\, President Clinton appointed him as his first ambassador to Romania (1994 – 1997)\, where Moses played a key role in helping Romania move from its Communist past to democracy and to establish a free economy. \nIn his new book\, Bucharest Diary: An American Ambassador’s Journey\, Moses includes first-hand accounts of the diplomacy\, both public and private\, that helped Romania recover from four decades of Communist rule. As ambassador\, he facilitated negotiations between Romania and neighboring Hungary and Ukraine that resulted in treaties resolving border and other disputes. As a result\, Romania was invited to join NATO and the European Union\, and currently has the fastest growing economy in Eastern Europe. For his efforts\, Moses was awarded the Marc Cruce medal by the Romanian Government\, the only American to receive this distinction. \nMoses is chairman of UN Watch\, the author of several books\, and has written articles for publications including The New York Times and The Washington Post. Moses also served as special counsel to President Carter (1980 – 1981) and special presidential envoy for the Cyprus conflict (1999 – 2001). Book signing to follow. \nEvent is scheduled for July 12\, in Washington\, D.C.  Follow the link for more info: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/466788710418281/

SUMMARY:June 23\, 2018:  La Blouse Roumaine/Romanian Blouse Day
DESCRIPTION:We will be joining again this year all those who celebrate around the world „The Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse” and we will mark the event here in Washington\, DC on Saturday\, June 23 at 5 pm in Lafayette Square in front of the White House. This is the same location where in 2015 we read the proclamation issued by the Mayor of Washington\, DC recognizing June 24 as the Day of the Romanian Folk Costume in the Nation’s Capital and thus conferring its first official recognition. \nI hope that in this most important year marking the 100 year anniversary of the modern Romanian state\, the Romanian community in Washington\, DC will answer this invitation and will come together to mark the event and to show its unity and the importance of our community. On that day\, Romanians and those who love and appreciate Romania and its culture\, are asked to wear a traditional Romanian blouse or shirt. The participants are also encouraged to bring Romanian flags and other folk items which could be used as the setting for the pictures taken at this event. \nThe Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse is a celebration of the traditional Romanian blouse (ia) uniting around the globe all those who cherish Romania and its folk costume. Coordinated by the online community La Blouse Roumaine\, the day\, first marked in 2013\, has become a truly global event celebrated on six continents\, in over 50 countries\, 109 cities\, and through over 200 events. The Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse has rekindled the interest and appreciation for the authentic Romanian folk art and creations\, and for those who make them\, and after more than 25 years since the fall of the communist regime\, this movement has contributed decisively to the rebirth and a renewed interest in traditional Romanian culture. \nSo let us heed the call of „La Blouse Roumaine” and dress Washington\, DC\, and the globe\, in the Romanian Blouse! \n\nSee the links:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/224552838139529/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/RomaniansofDC/photos/gm.224552848139528/393526937788970/?type=3&theater\n\n\n
