PUBLISHED BY CHICAGO SUN-TIMES ON 6/05/07 EMBATTLED LORD CONRAD BLACK, on trial in Chicago, apparently took some down time to dine with Cardinal Francis George May 21 at the Holy Name Cathedral's Rectory on North Wabash. Others in attendance at this small and private dinner: the Rev. Dan Mayall, pastor of Holy Name; Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Timothy J. Lyne; businessman Joseph Fosco, and attorney Robert DeMeo. PUBLISHED BY CHICAGO SUN-TIMES ON 6/19/07 Baseball's Ernie Banks celebrated 10 years of wedded bliss with wife Liz at the 200 East Supper Club. At a separate table, embattled Lord Conrad Black, businessman/Holy Name Stewardship Committee member Joseph Fosco and Daniel Fitzgerald, assistant superintendent of Catholic Schools, dined together and discussed school safety. PUBLISHED BY CHICAGO SUN-TIMES ON 6/26/07 Though on trial, Lord Conrad Black is still making the social scene, recently seen relaxing and dining at LePetit Paris with Joe Fosco, businessman/ Holy Name Stewardship committeeman, and Chicago Fire Department Deputy District Chief Miguel S. Bautista

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES 7/19/07 LORD CONRAD BLACK dined and sipped Cristal with a few friends, Joe Fosco and attorney Robert DeMeo, at the 200 East Supper Club on Tuesday night. They called the intimate gathering a "Majority Win Victory" celebration. Black talked about his two favorite politicos, former Presidents Richard Nixon and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, both of whom he has authored books on. He also reportedly said that he thinks U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve is an excellent judge. Black also promises to "remain committed in his pursuit of full vindication. CHICAGO SUN-TIMES 10/02/07 Holy Name stewardship committeeman Joe Fosco hosted a party at LePetit Paris for dignitaries and supporters of the Archdiocese of Chicago. The group included Bishop Timothy Lyne, TEC-Carrier heiress Mary Ann Mungo and semi-pro Hall of Famer Donald Johnson. During the party, media mogul Lord Conrad Black phoned in from his Florida estate to say hello. CHICAGO SUN-TIMES 12/18/07 Cardinal Francis George hosted a private holiday party at the Holy Name rectory last Friday. The guests included Bishop Timothy Lyne, attorney Robert DeMeo and wife Lynn, the Rev. Mike Novick and Joe Fosco.

Please read the 3rd-party-verified sources below (which are extremely CEREDIBLE sources; Chicago Sun-Times is the largest Newspaper in Chicago): [Joseph A. Fosco], born Joseph Anthony Fosco, on March 19, 1973 (Chicago area Socialite, [Chicago Archdiocese]-Affiliate and Spiritual Philanthropist). [Joseph Fosco] grew up in the [Chicago] area and was raised [Catholic]. During his teenage years, Mr. Fosco, who from age 13 was raised by a widowed mother, experienced emotional difficulty, therefore, knowing how hard growing-up can be, Mr. Fosco vowed to devote his life to helping people in need. A short while later, Mr. Fosco began helping the elderly and the sick on a full-time basis. In 1999, Mr. Fosco helped create the Franklin Charitable Foundation in Chicago Illinois. Its purpose was to provide help for the elderly and the sick. In 2001, the Franklin Charitable Foundation, via Mr. Fosco’s spiritual-direction, established a “fund” for children with emotional problems. The “fund” was established in the name of [“Sahara Moorer,”] a 15-year old runaway that was murdered in Chicago at the time. http://www.thecrusade.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=20115&mode=linear

http://www.linkedin.com/in/joefosco

In 2003, The Franklin Charitable Foundation was dissolved and reincorporated as “NPI-Franklin Organization.” Since then, Mr. Fosco has served the organization as its “honorary” Vice-Chairman. The organization’s new role provides “philanthropic consulting” and “strategy building” for perspective “Catholic” donors (it is not a fundraising organization). In mid June of 2006, Mr. Fosco was “Confirmed-Catholic,” by [Cardinal Francis George] (personally) at [Holy Name Cathedral], in [Chicago]. In early May 2007, Mr. Fosco was invited to an “honorary” position, Holy Name Cathedral “Stewardship Committeeman.” In late May 2007, Mr. Fosco introduced his brother-in-Christ, [Lord (Conrad) Black], to the Archbishop of Chicago, [Francis Cardinal George]. Since that introduction, Lord Black remains dedicated in helping Mr. Fosco with his spiritual efforts pertaining to the [Chicago Archdiocese], and in general.

Mr. Fosco helped create the Franklin Charitable Foundation (“FCF”) in Chicago Illinois. Its purpose was to provide help for the elderly and the sick.

The “FCF,” via Mr. Fosco’s direction, established a generous "six-figure fund” for children with emotional problems. The “fund” was established in the name of Sahara Moorer, a 15-year old runaway that was murdered in Chicago at the time (Published in Savoy Magazine).

The “FCF” was reestablished as “NPI-Franklin Organization.” Since then, Mr. Fosco has served the organization as its Vice-Chairman. The organization provides “philanthropic consulting” and “strategy building” (primarily) for perspective “Catholic donors." NPI-Franklin Organization is not a 501 C 3 organization.

Mr. Fosco co-hosted basketball tournaments for C.A.A.E.L. at the world’s famous (home of Bull’s-Michael Jordan) “United Center” located in Chicago. The Late William Wirtz, owner, donated the use of the “United Center” to Mr. Fosco, for the charity events for C.A.A.E.L... no doubt, this was done out of respect for the late (liquor drivers) union-executive, Romie Nappi, an uncle of Mr. Fosco’s, and close associate of the late Arthur Wirtz (Judge & Dolph Liquor Distributorships).

Mr. Fosco bequeathed NPI-Franklin Organization with a modest six-figure endowment for future development.

Mr. Fosco was invited to an “honorary position," by Mr. Joseph Konen, Director of Stewardship at Holy Name Cathedral (an entity of Archdiocese of Chicago); as “Stewardship Committeeman.”

Mr. Fosco affiliated erstwhile media mogul, Lord (Conrad) Black, with Chicago's Archbishop, Francis Cardinal George. Since, Lord Black and Mr. Fosco remain (devotedly) collaborated, concerning comprehensive “non-profit matters," as well as Archdiocese of Chicago related matters (via Mr. Fosco’s relations).

As of January 2008, Mr. Fosco has established the “Papal Committee” via NPI-Franklin Organization. The goal is to provide underprivileged students as well as students who are overachievers with the rare opportunity to visit the Holy Father.

With 80 years in the travel industry, the Globus family of brands - Globus, Cosmos, Monograms and Avalon Waterways - is credited as the largest escorted tour operator in the world. ^[3]

History

The Globus family of brands began as a small family company with one man and a rowboat in 1928. ^[4] Antonio Mantegazza, the company’s founder, used his rowboat to transport commercial goods across Lake Lugano in Switzerland. While taking frequent trips across the scenic lake, Antonio began dreaming of a different opportunity … tourism.^[5]

His small rowboat enterprise grew quickly, motivating a young Antonio to purchase more rowboats while convincing his friends to join him as he expanded his business.

Rowboats grew to motorboats, then moved to land with a taxi service. Antonio’s good fortune came in the form of a local sweepstakes from which he won the rights to operate a popular local route from the Swiss national postal and transportation service. To service this route, Antonio purchased his first motorcoach, launching the motorcoach touring service travelers know today.^[6]

Over time, his entrepreneurial instinct and drive led him to acquire more motorcoaches to transport tourists around the Lake Lugano area in southern Switzerland, ultimately making his dream of owning a company specializing in motorcoach touring come true. Boasting a fleet of 12 coaches, operating local excursions for European tourists in Switzerland, Antonio called his new venture Globus Viaggi.^{[7][8][9][10]}

By 1950, Globus Viaggi had grown significantly, featuring 33 coaches with overnight excursions toRome, Venice, the Dolomites and French Riviera. Thanks to their popularity, gradually, the overnight excursions became regularly scheduled tours and grew longer to cover more ground. Later that decade, under the leadership of Werner Albek, Antonio’s business partner, Globus pioneered the concept of Grand European Touring by offering first-class European tours to North Americans.^[11]

By 1961, the company launched the Cosmos brand, featuring value-priced European touring for the cost-conscious British traveler.^[12][13][14] These coach tours were so successful that Cosmos soon introduced another form of travel for the British market – air holiday packages to the sunny destinations of southern Europe. By 1968, just 40 years after the company's launch, Cosmos air holidays became so popular the company formed its own airline, Monarch Airlines.

Beginning In 1974, under the flagship of Sergio Mantegazza, son of Antonio and current president of Globus, the company's brands began expanding their markets beyond Great Britain. The 70s was a big decade for the company, introducing travelers to more countries than any other tour operator with packages to Africa, Australia, North and South America, Southeast Asia, Europe and the South Pacific. Also in the early 70s, Globus launched its North American company – Group Voyagers – overseeing U.S. tour operations and the American market for the Globus and Cosmos brands.^[15]

The entrepreneurial spirit that launched Globus is very much alive in Group Voyagers today. In 2003, the Globus family of brands launched a cruise company, Avalon Waterways, setting a new standard in small ship cruising. Also in 2003, the brand family extended its offerings by creating Monograms, which provides consumers independent travel opportunities with behind-the-scenes experts taking care of vacation details. Through Monograms, travelers get insider information and the services of a Local Host to enhance the experience and journey.^[16]

Today, the group of companies, consists of more than 30 tourism and aviation businesses, serviced by more than 5,000 professionals. The companies’ escorted and independent vacations offer nearly 10,000 departures and almost 300 different itineraries, covering more than 65 countries on six continents. Combined, the travel brands carry nearly 500,000 passengers in a normal year^[17], making the Globus family of brands the leading tour operators worldwide.^[18]
