_________________________ _______________________

Title: ____________________ Title: __________________

Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada reminds us that tourism is the bedrock of Nevada's economy. To expand and diversify our domestic and international markets are absolutely essential to our long-term economic growth and stability.*1

Governor Kenny Guinn and Lt. Govenor Lorraine Hunt said that Nevada's tourism industry must continue to expand its offerings and reach out to diverse markets that range from outdoor enthusiasts to residents of the world's most populous nation (China). Speaking at the general session of the Governor's Conference on Tourism at Caesars Palace, he and she each praised Nevada's continuing efforts to supplement its gaming-based core with non-gaming amenities such as shopping, dinning, and outdoor recreation.*2

"I can't overstate the significance of China's potential as a visitor market for Nevada," Lt. Governor Hunt said. "I found modern cities rife with elements of Western culture such as Starbucks Coffee, MTV, the Rat Pack-era music of Frank Sinatra, etc. Up to 10 percent of the country's approximately 1.4 billion residents can now afford to travel overseas, which has positioned China as Nevada's "newest and most-modern market" for tourism."

On May 18, 2000 Lt. Governor Lorriane Hunt of Nevada led a delegation from Nevada to Taipei of the Republic of China. "This is important to Nevada in areas beyond just our tourism industry. Taiwan enjoys a growing economy with considerable technological advancement and as such, they are one of the world's top 15 trading nations. And with Nevada's total exports exceeding one billion dollars in 1999 alone, our local businesses stand to benefit as the Taiwanese market continues to prosper and expand," Lt. Governor of Nevada Hunt pointed out in Taipei.*3

"The Nevada Commission on Tourism believes it is vital to establish a presence in Taiwan in order to represent our tourism destinations to this emerging world travel market. Taiwan's capital, Taipei, has a working population of four million, with a youthful, technologically oriented work force. There is tremendous potential for building tourism among this sector," said Hunt.*4

"Similar to the new direction of the government in Taiwan, we are seeking new horizons for the economy of Nevada. Building mutally beneficial relationships with Taiwan, and other foreign countries, will create the demand for direct, regularly scheduled flights. Our work will help Nevada establish contacts for lucrative business and convention visitors from around the world that will form the foundation for a new pillar in the Nevada economy."*5

Las Vegas, Nevada, Representative Offices to Taiwan and Shanghai of Nevada Commission on Economic Development, and Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) extend their heartily welcome to the business, tourism, and investment from Asian countires to boom the tourism and ecomomy of this silver state.

In anticipation of the potential for increased tourism in Penghu, Taiwan, at least one Nevada casino enterprise has already purchase a significant piece of property in Penghu. At the request of Charlyne Chen (陳思庭), NCED has contacted several Nevada cities about establishing a sister-city relationship with Penghu. A Team of delegation organized by the high-ranking officials of Penghu will come to Las Vegas in September 4, 2005 for further plan in tourism and business cooperation and development.*6

In order to build an association among important cities nationally and internationally for: (1) Mutual cooperation and development of business, trade, and tourism; (2) Social and public relations among business and professionals; and (3) Event and dinner parties for our community in an atmosphere of friendly and mutual cooperation. Justice of the Supreme Court Michael Douglas, District Judge Jessie Walsh, Clark County Commissioner Lynette McDonald, Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber, Southern Nevada Sherrif Bill Young, business executives and owners, multimedia publishers and Editor-in-Chief, organizational and community leaders, among others co-sponsored the initial establishment of Intercity Business Council of Nevada (with the name now as 'International Cities Business Council') on December 16, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U. S. A.*7

At the Executive Meeting held on August 13, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Assemblywoman of Nevada was elected as the Advisor of ICBC. Mr. Michael Huang, Esq. and Miss Yin Yan were elected as Vice Chairmen.

The Directors of ICBC at the present time are: Mr. Han Zheng, City Mayor of Shanghai, China; Mr. Jim Gibson, Mayor of Henderson, Nevada; Mr. Michael L. Montandon, Mayor of North Las Vegas, Nevada; Mr. Feng Wei Lai (賴峰偉), County Governor of Penghu, Taiwan; Mr. Changping Zhang, Mayor of Xiamen, China; Mr. Tommy Hu, CEO (Mayor) of Xiang Fan, Hubei, China; CEO of United Commercial Bank; among others.*8

Lt. Governor of Nevada Lorraine Hunt has been invited as the Honorary Chairperson of the International Cities Business Council (ICBC).

Chairperson Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) of the International Cities Business Council (ICBC) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is holding a welcome and celebration dinner party for the Penghu Delegaton and ICBC's establishment. It will be held on September 5, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The location is at the sky room restaurant in Stratosphere Casino and Hotel.

Most of the Chinese and Taiwanese associations presidents and newspapers publishers in Las Vegas will attend the event and party. Mr. Feng-wei Lai (賴峰偉), County Governor of Penghu, Taiwan will lead a big delegation team to attend. Nevada Assemblywoman Valerei Weber will be invited as our Guest of Honor. She is the Advisor of International Cities Business Council (ICBC).

The function of the Event and Dinner Party is to welcome the Delegation led by Governor Feng-wei Lai and celebration of the establishment of International Cities Business Council (ICBC). Miss Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) is the Chairperson.

"In summary, I am grateful for these new friends I made while visiting Taiwan, Republic of China and their love of democracy, prosperity and peace. Some day I hope to return to see continuation of their economic development and see other beautiful parts of the island including a tour of the gorgeous Penghu Islands on the west side of Taiwan," wrote Assemblywoman Valerie Weber to President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) about her motion of the ARC 25 (Certificate of) Resolution for Taiwan in the Nevada Assembly and Senate.*9

I believe God wants to bless our family in a mighty way
By Mike Lei

Dear Dad and Mom,

I was looking for brother's picture on your yahoo mail. I read the email from Robert Song. I would get very mad at his evil behavior also. I don't know what would cause him to write those things. But, I know that later on as I have more influence, I will also encounter these kind of attacks. I'm sure all great people encountered attacks from others. What makes the difference is how they handle these things. Those with character would be able to not let these things affect them. They know themselves and is confident of their ability no matter what others will say about them. Just remember how Jesus was called a liar, a demon-possessed person, blasphemer, and other bad things. Remember how He died on the cross for you. When you remember all Jesus did for you, then you can forgive everyone. Because you know Jesus suffered much more as a totally innocent person. What do we have to say when others do evil to us?

It's hard for children to hear people attack their parents. I'm sure it's hard for you to hear people attack your sons also. But since we have a new life in Jesus Christ, we do not live according to the old self. We have a new self created to be like Christ. Therefore, I must also forgive and pray for this person, no matter how hard it may be.

You can't control people, you can't control really anything. Remember God is in control. He let this happen to you and He knows you can overcome it with His power. No temptation happen to you except what is common to man. 1 Corinthians 10:13.

It's funny. But through this I am more proud of you Dad and Mom. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE YOUR SON!!!! I can see how this kind of thing before would be such a disaster, yet I can see God working in both of you. Praise the Lord! I believe God wants to show you how different you are now since you have Jesus in your life. Continue to live out this new life. Continue to experience God's miracles. The biggest miracles are those that happen in our own hearts, because no one can change his heart - only God.

Thank you for always your encouragements to me. I believe God wants to bless our family in a mighty way. Just watch! =)

Mike
