Hello,

Variety has been the theme here at KCOMM in July. Here are just a few examples. We were very proud to help celebrate the opening of a new Assessment and Short-Term Residential Center by Girls and Boys Town of Southern California. This organization provides unique and vital services to the region's families and children in crisis. Jumping from local social services into the business world, we are pleased to announce an engagement to provide integrated marketing support for the $200 Million PR Newswire, one of the leading news and information distribution companies in the world. And we have extended our reach from a geographic perspective by establishing an operational base in New York City. Finally, we also had a chance to pursue one of our favorite activities - sharing our knowledge and expertise with other professionals in our line of work - through a guest speaking appearance with the Sacramento chapter of the American Marketing Association. So now we catch our breath and jump into another month of promise and opportunity.

Sincerely,

Sinan Kanatsiz
Chairman / CEO
KCOMM, Inc.

Girls and Boys Town Opens Major New Facility with KCOMM Assist
New Lennar Center To Serve At-Risk Girls in Southern California


On July 15, Girls and Boys Town of Southern California held a grand opening celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Lennar Assessment and Short-Term Residential Center located in East Rancho Dominguez, CA. KCOMM provided a wide range of support for the event including strategic event planning consultation, recruitment of special guests and presenters, logistical support, and media relations.

The 10,000-square-foot facility will provide vital services for at-risk girls in Los Angeles and surrounding counties. It was made possible in part by a $1-million gift from Lennar Corporation, a leading nationwide home builder. And it was adopted by HomeAid Los Angeles/Ventura.
