On behalf of the Oregon Mediation Association, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and the staff at LMS for your efforts in support of the Latino Dispute Resolution Project. As you may recall, this was a multi-year project generously funded by the William and Flora Hewitt Foundation to promote culturally appropriate dispute resolution services in the Latino community across the state of Oregon.

The project was remarkably successful in raising awareness about mediation and we were able to demonstrate a marked increase in the capacity to serve this community. The resulting infrastructure for information dissemination and service provision will provide for the mediation needs of Latinos across the state for many years to come. LMS guidance, expertise and collaborative efforts in the development of linkages and strategic plans for marketing to the Hispanic community were critical to our success. We simply could not have done this without you and your staff.

Please find the attached reports summarizing this multi-year project, it was truly a please to work with you.

Sincerely,

Jaime A. Chavez, MSW, Project Coordinator
Oregon Mediation Association

It has been my sincere pleasure to work with Mary Young of Latin Media Specialists for over 7 years. In a time that it is increasingly difficult to find people and companies that maintains a high standard of professionalism, Latin Media Specialists, surpasses the standard. If you are interested in attracting the Hispanic community, and have an ad campaign in mind, you can find no one more creative, or personally involved than Mary Young. She is committed to providing quality products at affordable rates and always with the client's welfare in mind.

Please feel free to contact me if you are in need of any further information.

With all the activity that is always going on in a growing business, I sometimes forget to share with people how fundamental their expertise and assistance has been in the growth of my business. As I have grown more confident with you and your capabilities, I have had the confidence to increase my advertising budget knowing that the monies would be utilized effectively and that I would receive an appropriate return for my investment dollar.

I love not having to dig through all of the details of the advertising industry. I love having you bring me the information I need, all boiled down in a way that is comprehensible and allows me to make an informed decision. I love not getting phone calls from all the different advertising media, and when they do call I love referring them to you. I love having promotions that all my customers remember and mention when they come into my store. I love advertising that makes my business look good.

I have always felt that you have gone above and beyond the call of duty when it has come to my account. I feel that you have come to know my customers as well as I do. When it comes to the advertising needs of STUFF, I feel you are more that a mere vendor; you are an important partner in the success of my business.

I hope that you will use this letter to let future clients know how please I am working with you and LMS. Let any potential client feel free to call me at any time regarding what you have done to help put business on the map. When they begin their relationship with you, I know that they too will find you to be of uncommon caliber.

Sincerely,

As a non-profit agency, we don't have the capacity for a communication and marketing division. Working with Mary Young and Latin Media Specialists, Inc., has been an excellent match for our service needs. I initially asked Mary to assist us with the promotion of our first Latino youth festival in spring 2004. Her enthusiasm, planning and execution of our outreach, and excellent advice far surpassed my expectations and truly maximized our dollars.

I was so pleased that I asked Mary to not only assist with that project again this year, but to oversee a media buy for a statewide campaign encouraging parents to talk to their kids about sex, love, and relationships (www.talktothem.org). Having worked with media buyers on two other campaigns, Mary exceeded my expectations, maximized our purchasing dollars, and is strengthening our outreach.

I highly recommend Latin Media Specialists, Inc., and Mary Young for specific expertise in working with the Latino community as well as for work with the community at large.

Sincerely yours,

Rose Fuller

I have known Mary young, President of Latin Media Specialists, for nearly ten years as an employee, business associate, advertising agency owner, and friend. In this time, I and my company have received so much more from Mary than we could have ever expected! As an advertising agency specializing in Spanish language media, Mary is second-to-none. Time after time, I have seen her knowledge, expertise and genuine commitment to excellence benefit the advertiser, Hispanic community and consumer to the fullest degree.

I would not hesitate for one second to recommend Mary Young to any company that wants to capture the explosive Latino market for their business or product. Mary knows how to get the most for your advertising dollar, with the kind of personal customer service that has become rare in today's world of "over promise and under deliver".

If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me personally.

Sincerely,
