Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) has been appointed Acting Chairperson of the Intercity Business Council of Nevada of Washington Business and Technology Institute
BY Michael Douglas, Jessaie Walsh, Lynette McDonald, Valerie Weber, and Tiffany Chang*1

"Through the recommendations by our faculty members including Justice of the Supreme Court Michael Douglas, District Judge Jessie Walsh, Clark County Commissioner Lynette McDonald, Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber; Miss Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) has been appointed Acting Chairperson of the Intercity Business Council of Nevada (IBCN) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on July 15, 2005," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on Monday July 18, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U. S. A.*2

"I'm so excited about the appointment since lots of my job are related to have a function on the basis of international perspective. Through this professional and practical venue, I'll put all my efforts to implement the missions for the promotion of the economic and trade development among Nevada, Taiwan, and Shanghai," said Miss Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) after she was informed by WBTI about her appointment on July 16, 2005 in Las Vegas.

Charlyne is a first generation immigrant from the Republic of China. Her family owns a motel on Las Vegas Boulevard that she helped operate from the time she was 14 years old. As a local resident, Charlyne attended Orr Jr. High School and Valley High school. After graduating, she attended UNLV for my freshmen and sophomore years and Cal State Fullerton in California.

Miss Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) is the 亚洲总裁 (Asian President) of Info21 Data Media Group. In 2003 the Nevada Commission on Economic Development appointed Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) as a representative in Taiwan to further the trade and investment relationships between Nevada and Taiwan. In 2004, she was appointed as the representative in Shanghai by the Commission.*3

中国纺织采购网 delivered its following press release on September 2004 in Shanghai, China: "2004 年 9 月 15 日 ， 美国内华达州经济局局长 Alan Di Stefano 在 Info21 亚洲总裁 Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) 女士的陪同下 ， 来我司进行调研和拜访。我司韩总以及公司相关部门负责人参加了会晤。 会上，韩总对 Alan Di Stefano 局长一行的来访表示热烈的欢迎，对 Info21 对我司一直以来的关心、帮助和支持表示感谢。....."*4

As the CEO of Info21 Data Media Group with operation in Shanghai, Taiwan and Hong Kong which provide trade intelligence, Charlyne has achieved a great deal to be the Representative of State Nevada on Economic Development for Shanghai and Taiwan. She has been invited by Governor of Ponghu as an official advisor on tourism and legalized gaming.

Charlyne has been instrumental in the process to have United Commercial Bank (a Chinese-owned bank with 45 U.S. branches in California and New York) establish the first branches of a Chinese Bank in Nevada (Las Vegas). A Chinese bank in Texas will also open a branch here with an investment of U. S. $20 millions.

Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) was awarded "Outstanding Chinese Young Entrepreneur of 2003" by "Asia Week" magazine in HK. On May 17, 2005 NCED, together with Charlyne Chen, held a seminar in Las Vegas for approximately 100 Taiwanese business owners, assembled for the Hardware Association exhibition, on investing in Nevada.

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, 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 August, 2005 for further plan in tourism and business cooperation and development.*5

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 on December 16, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U. S. A.*6

I would like to inform you that OCA is coming to Las Vegas this July. We are hosting a job fair at the convention.

Therefore I wanted to verify that you are still in charge of your organization and if not, could you please let us know here at OCA who is the current leader and if the e-mail address is correct.

Thank You.

How about let us put it (the following information) on the section and mention that "The following imfomation are kept just as our draft of some notes (not for publication):"?

*********************************************
Paul,

Thank you for taking time to answer my email. I don't have a problem with the name being changed, although, I much preferred to use ASIAN-AMERICAN, instead of just plain ASIAN ( as we are really now, Asian-Americans), ( Asian-American Republicans of Clark County sounds better, in my opinion, than Asian Republicans of Clark County).

Yes, I was in that meeting and I did the motion to adopt the new name, and I also stepped out about five times because of my bad allergy and coughing at the time. Therefore, I must have missed bits and pieces of the entire meeting. I don't have any problem about the name.

HERE'S MY ANSWER IN GREEN TEXT:

Dolly I am completely puzzled by your email. ( Paul, you are smarter than that).You sat next to me in the meeting regarding the naming of the Clark County organization. ( Yes, I did) You heard Jasmine and I and others at the meeting discuss how the ARCC would still affiliate with the AARCN. You heard all the reasons behind naming the organization and then made the motion to adopt the name ARCC. ( I was glad I did) After that meeting, you immediately called Elena and it was that phone call that started the entire controversy. ( Calling Elena is a normal thing I do since she recruited me to join the group in May 2004. Calling Elena "started the entire controversy? Paul, you got to be kidding. If you really think this is the case, you are really taking sides. I emailed Jasmine Brooks and asked her why my name was taken off the list, why was I not notified of meetings and why was I not informed that they removed me from being the secretary , a position I really never wanted to do, nor any position in that respect why I gave up being the Interim President. I never received a response from J Brooks nor anyone from ARCC. I have always promoted cohesiveness; ( It doesn't look like it) others are inciting dissension by calling urgent meetings to raise unspecified charges from unidentified persons. (Name these people and how many times did this happen) The continual calls for special meetings to confront the ARCC President before the ARCC Treasurer submits a financial report are what are divisive. ( Reports I heard from several people ... the first meeting held after the Induction, in which I did not know about as I have been deleted on the ARCC list, was that J Brooks advised Jasmine Guo to meet with her at Wells Fargo Bank. Saturday came,Jasmine Guo and Tess Smith waited at the bank for J Brooks who did not show up. Report was also made that Brooks gave the money back to Hui Ling. (sorry, I accidentally deleted some words following). ute鈥� is about and what needs to be arbitrated. This is how I see it. The ARCC Treasurer needs to provide the ARCC President with a report on the induction ball. Once that report is provided and discussed by the E-Board, the ARCC President will call a general meeting to explain the financial situation. ( No, report should be made to the Body not to the President, the President does not explain the financial situation, after the Treasurer made her report, discussion or question and answer follow. The President continues to oversee the discussion )I have already offered to attend a properly called meeting to discuss the naming situation. The ARCC President has already said that anyone who wanted their money to go to the AARCN would be able to make that selection, once a report is complete. So Dolly, please tell me, what is the problem and who has a problem? (Paul, you don't know the problem because you only hear the other side and you only want to attend the meeting of the other side, I for one has a problem, ask Julie Hereford why she referred to me as "the fired member for non-performance", where in the world any person who from the bottom of her heart donated her time, money, energy and her facilities to accomodate meetings of the Republican Party she loves dearly be FIRED from WHAT ? AND FIRED BY WHOM ? BY HER? BY JASMINE BROOKS. PAUL, FOR YOUR INFORMATION THE VERY FIRST MEETING OF THIS GROUP WAS HELD IN ONE OF MY BANQUET FACILITIES. MAYBE I SHOULD TELL YOU AND I AM PROUD TO TELL YOU. IT WAS IN OCTOBER OF 2004,I WAS ASKED BY ELENA TO HELP, JUST WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION. I DID NOT BOOK WEDDINGS AND OR RECEPTION THAT DAY, LOSING TWO GRANDS IS A LOT FOR ME, ORDERING FOOD WHICH WAS CATERED WORTH 400. IS A LOT FOR ME, SHOPPING AT COSTCO COST ME ANOTHER 200. FOR DRINKS, ETC, IS A LOT FOR ME, SPENDING 10 HOURS TOTAL FOR THIS MEETING WAS A LOT AND CLEANING UP THE PLACE AFTER THE MEETING WAS WORSE. I DID ALL THIS BECAUSE I LOVE PRESIDENT BUSH AND I WANT TO do EVERYTHING I CAN TO RE-ELECT HIM. IN THAT FIRST MEETING, THERE WERE ALMOST 50 IN ATTENDANCE. THREE OTHER MEETINGS WERE HELD AY MY OTHER BANQUET LOCATION AND I EVEN HAD LAS VEGAS SUN THERE AND THE EVENT WAS PRINTED IN THE PAPER. IN ALL THESE MEETINGS I WOULD PERSONALLY COOKED GOURMET DISHES AND SPENT TIME IN MY BANQUET KITCHEN TO PLEASE MY REPUBLICAN FRIENDS. I WAS THE INTERIM PRESIDENT AND I KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE ELECTED AND I ANNOUNCED I DID NOT WANT TO BE AN OFFICER ANYMORE AND I NOMINATED AND CAMPAIGNED FOR J BROOKS. SO PAUL TELL ME, JULIE HEREFORD REFERRED TO ME AS BEING A FIRED MEMBER AFTER I DID ALL I CAN FOR THE GROUP? DO YOU SEE MY REASONING HERE AND WHY HER REMARK IS SO REVOLTING TO ME? ) Why is no one calling on the ARCC Treasurer to provide a report to the ARCC President? (WHY DO YOU INSIST THAT SHE MAKE A REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT AND NOT TO THE BODY? WE TALKED TO J GUO ABOUT MAKING THE REPORT, SHE WANTS TO DO THIS AND SHE WANTS TO DO THIS REPORT TO THE ENTIRE GROUP).Why is it that when the ARCC Treasurer ignores a properly called Executive Board meeting it is not a big deal, but when the ARCC President and others do not attend an improperly called and time wasting meeting, it is a big deal? Perhaps you can enlighten me on this.( IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IT WAS ON A MONDAY, A MEETING WAS CALLED, J GUO MENTIONED TO ME A VERY URGENT MATTER SHE HAD IN REFERENCE TO SIGNING REAL ESTATE PAPERS THAT DAY. SHE ASKED ME TO REFER HER TO A REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY TO REVIEW SOME PAPERS BEFORE SHE SIGNS THEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MEETING J BROOKS CALLED.Until someone tells me what the problem actually is and who are in the 鈥渢wo groups,鈥� I will wait to hear from the ARCC President about future meetings. ( PAUL, YOU ARE SET IN YOUR BELIEF WHO TO SIDE. THE TWO GROUPS ARE: ONE, HEADED BY JASMINE BROOKS, WHO HAS AN M.D. TITLE AFTER HER NAME AND WHO WAS INTRODUCED TO PETE RINATO BY ELENA BRADY, RINATO OF COURSE YOU KNOW IS AN ATTORNEY , YOU ARE INTRODUCED TO J BROOK BY ELENA AS WELL, YOU ARE ALSO AN ATTORNEY, AND THE OTHER GROUP, DON'T PRETEND YOU DIDN'T KNOW, IS ELENA BRADY, SHE IS NOT AN M.D. BUT A HARDWORKING REPUBLICAN, JASMINE GUO, DEFINITELY NOT A LAWYER, INSPITE OF HER LACK OF ELOQUENCE EXPRESSES HERSELF IN A VERY SINCERE MANNER, SHE WAS NON-PARTISAN UNTIL SHE MET ELENA AND MYSELF AND BECAME A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF PRESIDENT BUSH AND REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES, AND THE REST WHO JULIE HEREFORD TRIED TO ANALYZED AND CRITIQUED WITH HER CHEAP SHOTS OF DEFAMATORY AND LIBELOUS REMARKS.
SO PAUL, I HOPE THAT INSPITE OF MY DISPLAY OF STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS TO THE TENTH DEGREE, WE CAN STILL TALK FACE TO FACE AND GIVE EACH OTHER A HANDSHAKE. AFTER ALL, LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO ENTERTAIN PETTINESS AND WE ARE ONLY PASSING THROUGH AS PILGRIMS WHO BELIEVE IN THE REPUBLICAN VALUES AND IDEALS.

DOLLY

P.S.. I SAT IN OXFORD, CAMBRIDGE, STANFORD, AND OTHER GREAT UNIVERSITIES OF LEARNING, BUT AS I GET OLDER, I BEGIN TO LEARN THAT TITLES AND EDUCATION DO NOT MAKE A CHARACTER OF A PERSON. WHAT A GREAT GIFT IT WOULD BE IF IT IS COMBINED WITH A GENTLE HEART AND HUMILITY OF SPIRIT.

THE REPUBLICANS LOST IN CLARK COUNTY LAST ELECTION, PERHAPS IT IS TIME WE FOCUS OUR ATTENTION TO A BIGGER AND GREATER TASK... PROMOTE THE REPUBLICAN VALUES AND PROMOTE GOOD GOVERNMENT.

THIS IS PETTY AND I AM ENDING MY PARTICIPATION IN THIS PETTINESS RIGHT HERE.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD !

Assembly Concurrent Resolution 25
Presented by Valerie E Weber
Clark County District 5
April 28, 2005

Taiwan and its people hold a special place in my heart.

I was invited like so many (at least 20 over the years) from both of our houses in the Legislature and from the Executive branch to visit Taiwan. In October 2003, I was part of an eight member delegation lead by our colleague from District 41.

Before our plane left for those long hours in the air, we were met at the San Francisco Airport by our hosts from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in SF who made our arrangements.
Our seven day journey included meeting with high ranking officials in the Executive Yuan including the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Mainland Affairs. We met with the Vice-President, (Mrs) Miss Annette Lu (who is Harvard educated). We heard an address by President Chen at the annual Double 10 celebration along with viewing its fabulous pageantry; we even visited the Legislative Yuan and watched a debate on the floor.

On the cultural side, we toured Taipei, Taiwan抯 capital city on this miracle green island of 23M citizens; we were treated to a plane trip to Haulien, known for its gorgeous marble and visited the breathtaking Taroko Gorge, one of their many national parks.

Our hosts in Taipei, including Charlyne Chen from the NV Economic Development office located in the Taipai World Trade Center arranged for us to meet with businessmen and women to discuss various issues business issues, to tour a state-of-the-art software park, and to explore the Taipai World Trade Center; it was non stop, action packed and we ate until we couldn抰 breathe! The entire trip was first class.

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.
I urge my colleagues� support of this resolution.

Mr Speaker, may I present to our house at this time to receive these resolutions our very special guests, the new incoming Director General, Mr Mark Liao and Consular Officer, Ms Jenny Kuo. Please accept these resolutions in appreciation of our thanks and for a long continuing friendship. Please feel welcomed in our house.

Sincerely," announced Richard Bryan, U.S. Senator; Oscar B Goodman Mayor, Las Vega City Mayor; and Rory Reid, Clark County Chairman.

The following is a part of the article written for Senator Harry Reid being awarded "Outstanding Democrat of the Decade," by Tiffany Chang.

On October 22, 2000, U. S. Senator Harry Reid received the "Outstanding Democrat of the Decade" 1990's Award from the Paradise Democratic Club of Las Vegas (PDCLV) at the Skyview Room of the Bally's Casino and Hotel, Las Vegas. In the Program, the National Anthem was sung by Rose McKinny James. The Event was chaired by the President of PDCLV, John Ponticello. He introduced participants of all the elected officers, leaders of unions, persons campaigned for public service, among others. The Keynote Speaker was Senator Harry Reid. Special Speakers were former U. S. Senator Richard Bryan, U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, among others. Comments were offered by Rory Reid, Nevada State Democratic Party Chairman, and Danny Thompson, Secretary/Treasurer of Nevada State AFL-CIO.

The heightlight of the Event was the presentation of the Outstanding Democrat of the Decade Award to U.S. Senator Harry Reid by the President of PDCLV, John Ponticello. U. S. Senator Reid graduated from Utah State University in 1961. He received Juris Doctor degree from George Washington University. On April 10, 1998, he was honored as Advisor and Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).

Harry Reid was born in the mining town of Serchlight, Nevada where he was raised in a small cabin without indoor plumbing. He attended a two-room elementary school. His father was a hard rock miner with an 6th grade education. His mother helped the family make ends meet by taking in laundry.

Serchlight had no high school, so he had to attend Basic High School in Henderson where he met Landra Gould, who became his high-school sweetheart. In 1959 they were married. In 1961, their first child and only daughter Lana was born. Son Rory was born in 1962, and three more brothers followed -
Leif, Josh, and Key. Basic High was also where Reid met a teacher named Mike O'Callaghan who would play many roled in his life: teacher, boxing coach, political mentor, trusted advisor and best friend.

After completing law school, Harry returned to Henderson to serve as City Attorney. In 1968, he was elected to the Nevada Assembly, 1970 Harry was elected Lieutenant Governor. In 1977, he was appointed Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission. In 1983, he won the first of two terms in the United States House of Representatives.

He was elected to the Senate in 1986. In 1998, Harry was elected to his third term as US Senator and his colleagues selected him as Assistant Democratic Leader - the second highest post among Democrats in the Senate.

After he won a fourth term in 2004 by a wide margin, he was unanimously elected Senate Democratic Leader. This position, combined with his reputation for integrity and fairness, has given the small state of Nevada a uniquely influential voice in Washington. Harry Reid isn't afraid to speak his mind - but he isn't afraid to listen, either. Like the desert country that formed him, he doesn't cry out for attention. He's soft spoken-but when hw talks, people listen. He has earned the trust of both Democrats and Republicans, and his reputation for integrity and fairness has given the small state of Nevada a powerful voice in Congress.

Boosting the number of tourists coming to Las Vegas from Asia
By Tiffany Chang and Jennifer Robison

..........................
The most recent open house was held by Nevada Clark County Commissioner Lynette McDonald on Thursday, May 12, 2005 at the Harbor Palace restaurant at 4275 Sprint Mountain Road. Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), was invited by her personally to attend the meeting. Lynette delivered a significant speech on the importance of the main project for the business, commercial, and tourism development in this area of Clark County, Nevada.
.............................
Andrew Lai, a managing partner in Dragon City, said he's met with state and local tourism officials to discuss boosting the number of tourists coming to Las Vegas from Asia.

"We could have 3 (million) to 5 million Chinese tourists coming to Las Vegas in three to five years," Lai said. "More than 50 million Chinese have enough money to come here. China has 1.4 billion people. If just 1 percent of them eventually come here, it would be 14 million visitors."

Hunt-Krygiell said Dragon City would create a significant demand for "services that cater to tourists," so a commercial-tourism designation would "make sense."

"We're going to have more tourism along the (Spring Mountain) corridor because we'll actually have places for them to stay," Hunt-Krygiell said. "It could increase a wider variety of tourism uses."

The Clark County Comprehensive Planning Department is in the midst of a series of open houses and town-hall meetings to gather public comments on land use in the Winchester and Paradise townships.

The unincorporated areas are bordered by Sahara Avenue and Silverado Ranch Boulevard to the north and south, and Decatur and Nellis boulevards to the west and east. Las Vegas' Chinatown, which runs along Spring Mountain Road between Valley View and Decatur boulevards, is at the area's core.

Subject: Are you still a friend???

Dear .....,

When I first met you, I thought I found a jewel in the Asian American community. I was very delighted to know how interested you were to get involved with AARCN vision. I fall for you and put a lot of my hopes and dreams for you to become an exceptional member in the Asian American community. It was too good to be true for me knowing how hard have I been working recruiting members and leaders in this community.

Quickly, you got involved but was not a smooth beginning. During an AARCN general meeting, (January 16, 2005), we discussed whether to have an election or not, and also discussed about the bylaws which I said repeatedly need a lot of work. We reached a compromise anyway, held an election and decided to fix bylaws later. Officers were elected and I was delighted that you were elected as President, so was Dolly who nominated you.

What transpired from that moment to present - I have not a clue except the clues I get from the emails I received that things are not good. I GATHERED FROM THESE EMAIL MESSAGES THAT SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG. THE NAME CALLING AND MISREPRESENTATIONS WERE VERY HURTFUL. I wish you would tell me personally what I have done wrong or what went wrong? I am only a phone call away and I am always visiting Las Vegas.

I never claimed to be an expert in putting together an organization, nor perfect in responding to the needs of the organization. But, I am comforted to know from history, that the Mayflower voyage did not bring an organized group when they come to America. They did not have bylaws and/or supreme court to hold themselves accountable to. They worked hard to put together a country that we now call our own and enjoying the fruits of their sacrifices. We as a new group should do the same thing. We should help each other, hold each others hands, and together we bring a united effort to reach a common goal.

I think I am a fair and forgiving person. I am willing to let go and let bygones be bygones and start all over again, this time we will hopefully be smarter.

With all sincerity, I wish you good luck in your business and your future endeavors in the politics.

Mr. ....., I strongly feel you are contributing to the alienation and divisivemess of this organization. Are you a member? I have been a member since this group started meeting way back in January'05. I have never seen your face at the ARCC meetings except one time when you came per invitation by the president to clarify why AARCN-CC was changed to ARCC. I am glad you do agree with me that the AARCN constitution and by-laws is not appropriate for the ARCC. This is the reason I resigned as executive director because I was elected as such under this AARCN Constitution and by-laws. I have asked the president to convene a constitution committee to draft a constitution for ARCC but it fell on deaf ears. As a grassroots organizer you should help bring the members together. People need to be heard. In this regard, I do not wish to spend an iota of my time responding to you from now on. You say the same thing over and over and not listen to what is being said.

Jacquie, do waht you have to do. This is a democratic country ruled by laws. I see that you are speaking for the others, too! Did they delegate you to speak for them ? Correction please, the agenda item, resolution and request for this meeting was submitted to the president more than two weeks ago, NOT 24 HOURS NOTICE! For someone like you who claims to know parliamentary procedures, the constitution and by-laws, I am sure you are aware of the Aricles and Sections of the by-laws as the basis of authority for this meeting. Obviously, you are not concerned about this particular issue and what's going on. I do not want the president's position to be dragged in issues that she can clear up, nor do I want any member to be so stressed because of accusations that this person can also clear up. As members, we can all help resolve the problem. I am still puzzled about the issue of impeachment. Who is bringing this up? It's up to the members to decide what is the next step if the financial issue is not resolved. Do you want to be part of the solution or the problem?

This email, along with another email regarding ARCC members being volunteers are two of the most ridiculous emails I have read in a long time.

The ARCC is not the AARCN. No one can actually say what the AARCN is � does the C stand for Club or Coalition? Let抯 assume for a moment that the AARCN, an unincorporated entity, is a valid organization.

If it is a Coalition, why is the checking account in the name of a Club?

If it is a Club, what is the relationship between the Club and the Coalition with which the ARCC seeks an affiliation and which is described in the By-Laws?

Why has it existed for three years without incorporation, when the ARCC was able to incorporate in one day, once a name was selected?

There are state and federal laws governing political organizations; the ARCC is attempting to follow those laws, the AARCN is ignoring those laws.

Why are unnamed 揷oncerned members� so insistent on an immediate financial report on the ARCC, but willing to not ask the same questions of the AARCN?

How much money has the unincorporated AARCN raised and spent over the past three years and have all of its activities complied with applicable laws?

Will the AARCN conduct a public meeting of its finances with any interested members?

I did one time say that an organization should not be consumed with the By-Laws. By-Laws provide a structure for accomplishing an organizational goal. When an organization engages in endless discussion of the finer points of the By-Laws, it is wasting time that could otherwise be spent on achieving the organizational goal. That is the case here, where people are calling silly 搖rgent� meetings and wasting time on something that should be handled first by the Executive Board rather than focusing on how the ARCC can reach out to Asians in Clark County to spread Republican Values. Since you raised the issue of By-Laws, let me explain why the AARCN By-Laws are not appropriate for the ARCC.

The AARCN By-Laws call for a principle office in Washoe County (Article 1, Section B). The ARCC is based in Clark County.

The AARCN By-Laws define a coalition as a state level organization. (Article IV, Section B.) The ARCC is a county based organization

The AARCN By-Laws define eligibility as any resident of the State of Nevada (Article V, Section A). The ARCC is a county based organization.

The AARCN By-Laws include provisions to establish County Chapters (Article VII). The ARCC is a potential county chapter, once the AARCN is properly formed and demonstrates compliance with applicable laws and regulations over the past three years.

The ARCC needs to adopt its own set of tailored By-Laws, such as those used by the Clark County Republican Party. If interested, you can find the CCRP By-Laws at http://www.clarkgop.org/bylaws.htm.

Even if the AARCN By-Laws are considered as a framework for the ARCC, the nature of the meeting being called is improper.

The Executive Board is responsible for managing the affairs of the organization. (Article VI, Section B 1.) Special meetings of the Executive Board can only be called by the President, or by 4 members of the Executive Board. (Article VI, Section B 5). The President called a meeting of the E-Board to discuss finances, but the Treasurer did not attend. Instead, the Treasurer apparently attended some other meeting and provided information to others that she did not transmit to the President. In order for the E-Board to function, the elected officers must exchange information in order to be prepared for the ultimate presentation to the general membership. Your statement that the Treasurers report must be presented to the President in the presence of the general membership is simply false. That is NOT a requirement of any By-Laws and has never been a requirement of any organization I have ever belonged to or advised. Not only is it false, it is ridiculous and contrary to the parliamentary procedure you claim to cherish.

The meeting today is alleged to be the result of an earlier meeting in which a resolution was passed. You have never shown that the earlier meeting was properly noticed, never shown who made the motion, what the motion was, and what was the agenda for today抯 meeting. Since the time of the resolution and today, you have resigned your position as the ARCC Executive Director.

How can someone properly prepare for and conduct, or decide whether or not to even attend, a meeting with no stated purpose other than to discuss concerns about finances?

Why would anyone waste the precious time of volunteer members to ask them to spend time attending a discussion of finances when one knows that the Treasurer has not yet provided a report to the President?

Regarding the earlier meeting and today抯 meeting, what notice has been provided? Was anything mailed to individuals who do not have email addresses? Did anyone call any members who do not have email addresses? In what capacity are you sending emails: normally that is a function of an organization secretary (See Article VI, Section A 1 (c). I do not recall ever receiving an email from the ARCC Secretary regarding any of these meetings. Perhaps that is because these are not properly called meetings, are invalid and any action is improper.

You have proposed meetings in the past where unnamed individuals were intending to present unspecified charges and asked individuals to attend without notice of either the names of the accusers or the charges. When you proposed those meetings, you specifically refused to identify the charges or the individuals making the charges. In this instance, you are asking the President to attend a meeting so that the Treasurer can deliver a report in public that the Treasurer has refused to produce directly to the President. Why is that? What is your real agenda here? I can only speculate, but in nearly all such speculation, the purpose is something other than helping to build an organization or follow any rules, be those rules by-laws, Roberts Rules or rules of common courtesy and decency.

In another meeting you note that ARCC members are volunteers. Everyone involved in the Clark County Grassroots organization is a volunteer, including me. I find volunteer time to be a very precious commodity and do not desire to see it wasted in attending silly, improper meetings with no purpose other than to generate divisiveness in a new organization. I have spent more time dealing with nonsense raised by individuals relating to the ARCC than with any other element of the grassroots organization. I have heard more people spreading more misinformation regarding this matter than with any other organization with which I have dealt in my entire professional career. Someone, who does not even have the courage to come out of the shadows, is trying to disrupt the organization of the ARCC and prevent it from becoming an effective political organization. I know this is the case, because someone caused the ARCC President to be uninvited to a local event for no reason than petty personal bickering. I repeat what I said in my earlier email; such conduct is despicable. I add; such conduct is also cowardly.

In addition to my involvement in the grassroots organization and my business concerns, I have a life. Too much time has been wasted in meetings to advance someone抯 secret agenda rather than on activities to support and promote Republican values. I have no interest in continuing to exchange emails with you about your meeting and the reasons you think people should attend, so this will be my last email on the subject.

You are no longer on the Executive Board; you resigned. Let the ARCC Executive Board obtain the information on the finances, prepare a report for the general membership and deliver that at a regularly scheduled meeting. THAT is the way organizations run. There is nothing urgent requiring a meeting and there is no need to waste ARCC member抯 time in attending a meeting today. I do not know what your real agenda is, but despite what you say, I do not believe you are acting in the best interests of the ARCC.

Hello Concerned Citizens,

I and others will not attend this meeting for the
following reasons:
1. It is an illegal meeting. Especially since
President Brooks called a meeting for the fincinal
review and the treasure did not attend. Therefore,
the President is concerned about such issues and she
will call a meeting for the review at a later date.
This means that the concerned citizens can not legal
call a meeting that the President has called and the
appropriate persons did not show.
2. The adgenda was given less than 24 hours for this
meeting.
3. The person who calls meeting must have 4 executive
board members agreeing to such a meeting.
4. any business at such a meeting will be void and
illegal.

Paul has made it

---------------------------------------------
I and others will not attend this meeting. It is an
illegal meeting---not called by an officer and 4
executive board members and no agenda was given within
24 hours of meeting. If the purpose of the meeting is
to impeach an officer, it must be called by an officer
in good standings of the organization and the agenda
must be given. I understand that Francis is not an
officer and therefore can not call a meeting. Any
business of votes taken at such meeting will be
illegal and void. I will not waste goo time attending
an illegal meeting. I am under the impression that
the real purpose of such meeting is to impeach Madam
President, Dr. Brooks. This can not occur at an
illegal meeting. Therefore, I, like Paul, will not
attend a monkey trial or a mockery of a meeting.
I am sorry that I must say this, because I once called
many people friends, but I can not do this with such
actions.

Hello, Folks. Being a member of the ARCC is volunteer work! I am sure many of us are thinking we can spend our time and effort in a positive way to support the Republican Party and not entertain divisive innuendos. People who do not give due credence to parliamentary procedures and to the constitution and by-laws are contributing to the problem and divisiveness among members. An invited speaker told members at a previous meeting "not to be consumed by the by-laws". Folks, to refer to the by-laws when things are not clear is not being consumed by the by-laws. Otherwise, any organization that doesn't adhere to the by-laws becomes dysfunctional. Do you agree?

Hello, everyone. This is to remind you of our special urgent meeting to be held tomorrow, Saturday, May 21, 2005 at the Nevada Republican Party headquarters on 8625 W. Sahara, southwest corner of W. Sahara and Durango, by the Seven Eleven and Charlie Restaurant, at 4:00 p.m. The purpose of this meeting is to have the financial affairs of ARCC clarified by the president. This meeting was based on the resolution passed by concerned members of the ARCC (formerly the AARCN) and based on the moral and civic obligation of members present. This resolution on May 6, 2005 and request for a meeting were forwarded to the president. Furthermore, the meeting tomorrow is based on the constitution and by-laws, (AARCN By-laws, adopted by the ARCC) specifically Article VI, Sections A and B, Article VIII - Sections C, F, and G, Article XIII Sections A. and B. I would like to point out that the Treasurer's Report is not just to the president; it has to be presented to the executive board in the presence of the general membership. The treasurer gave her report at the meeting held after the induction ball. All the executive board members and some members except the vice president heard the report. The treasurer asked several times what to do with checks addressed to AARCN. The president emphatically told the treasurer that both of them must go to the bank the following day to deposit the monies and checks. What happened next is what we need to know not by hearsay but directly from the treasurer and the president. The person who paid for the induction place, the DJ, etc. has not been reimbursed. I believe, and I strongly feel that many of you share the belief, that the leadership of any organization, be it a coalition, a charter or precinct organization, has the moral responsibility to bring members together, to inspire and motivate them, not to pull members apart or encourage pettiness or threaten members of legal innuendos. Otherwise, there is no leadership. Together we can make the difference.
Dr.Frances A. Ridgley

Dear .....:

I believe you have misunderstood what I said in my e-mail. I will NOT call an 搖rgent meeting� due to the following:
1) There is no agenda. You have not presented to me any agenda pertaining to this 搖rgent meeting� nor have you submitted the requested items, which are:
a) have the referenced members submit their concerns in writing.
b) Provide me with names of the concerned members.

Contrary to your email stating that 搕he names of the people bringing the issue is immaterial�, I strongly disagree. To be credible, one must have the ability to stand behind his/her words and substantiate the allegations with facts and documentations. Further, I am unable to oblige without proper paperwork.

Again, I will not entertain hearsay nor third party report. More importantly, I will not call an 搖rgent meeting� for a secret agenda.

I have an OPEN BOOK policy (please refer to the meeting minutes). The members who do not want to disclose their identity while they make false allegations are deemed NOT credible and with questionable intent.

Everyone must be held accountable for their actions!

The issues that will be addressed at ARCC meetings, will only be pertaining to credible issues presented by credible members, supported by credible documentations!

2) I have not receive the Treasurer抯 report
I have requested the Treasurer � Jasmine Guo to provide me copies of the checks deposited, copies of the cash deposit slip, financial report, income statement and cash flow statement (copy attached).

Until I receive the full and complete financial report from our Treasurer � Jasmine
Guo, to call a meeting at this time to discuss the finances would be premature.

3) As for you, you wanted to know 搃f the money is already deposited and if the people that need to be reimbursed have been reimbursed, and what steps were taken to deposit checks payable to AARCN厰

I strongly feel that it would behoove us to have the full financial report from the ARCC Treasurer � Jasmine Guo, to answer all these questions, prior to calling a meeting.

4) The members who have issued the checks to Asian American Republican of Nevada (AARCN), shall have an option to donate their money to either:
- the Asian American Republican of Nevada (AARCN) or to
- the Asian Republicans of Clark County (ARCC)

The ARCC membership committee will be reviewing the membership checks (attached is a copy of the request for the membership folder).

The members will have the option to donate their money to AARCN or ARCC.
a) If they choose to donate their money to AARCN: we will issue reimbursement checks - if their checks were deposited into ARCC bank account. If the checks were not deposited, then the checks will be returned to the appropriate members.

b) Their desires regarding which organization that they want to donate their money to, must be submitted in writing for proper accounting and record keeping.

The ARCC finances is primary on my agenda. I will have a meeting in the near future to address this matter. I am anxiously awaiting the full financial report from our Treasurer � Jasmine Guo. The meeting shall be called immediately after the receipt to the full financial report. Other unrelated matters will only be addressed on a priority basis.

As the President for ARCC, I will do what ever it takes to preserve the credibility of ARCC and its officers. Please be advised that if there are disparaging remarks without foundations to compromise the integrity and reputation of ARCC and its officers, the responsible party will be held accountable and all legal actions will be taken to the maximum extent of the law to preserve the good name of ARCC and its officers.

Thank you for your concern.

Cordially,
.....
RCC

Herewith, the copy of the e-mail sent to ARCC Treasurer � Jasmine Guo on 5-5-05 @ 12:33 pm

Dear .....:

I your earlier e-mail dated 5-2-05, you referred to the $3,000. What exactly were you referring to? Who received "around $3,000"? Please clarify.

I did not receive any cash or checks from you at any time. I did not show up at the Wells Fargo Bank because you did not need my presence to deposit all the cash and checks from the Induction Ball. If you did not deposit the cash and checks, they must all be deposited, ASAP.

The longer you hold on the checks, the longer it will take the checks to clear. And as stated at the meetings, you must deposit the checks to allow time for them to clear to pay for Wellington, DJ, or Tess (since I believe that she had paid for Wellington and the DJ).

Again, please be advised that you must deposit ALL the funds (all checks and all cash received at the Induction Ball) immediately into the ARCC checking account set up at Wells Fargo Bank.

Please provide me with the report for the funds received from the Induction Ball on 4-24-05 including the following:
- copies of the checks received
- copies of the checks deposited
- copies of the deposit slip
- proof of the cash deposited
- financial/income statement

I must have all of the documents stated above to present at the next meeting. Thank you so much for your help. I know that you have been very busy...thanks again for your time. Talk to you soon.

Cordially, .....

Taiwan and its people hold a special place in my heart.

I was invited like so many (at least 20 over the years) from both of our houses in the Legislature and from the Executive branch to visit Taiwan. In October 2003, I was part of an eight member delegation lead by our colleague from District 41.

Before our plane left for those long hours in the air, we were met at the San Francisco Airport by our hosts from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in SF who made our arrangements.
Our seven day journey included meeting with high ranking officials in the Executive Yuan including the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Mainland Affairs. We met with the Vice-President, Mrs Annette Lu (who is Harvard educated). We heard an address by President Chen at the annual Double 10 celebration along with viewing its fabulous pageantry; we even visited the Legislative Yuan and watched a debate on the floor.

On the cultural side, we toured Taipei, Taiwan抯 capital city on this miracle green island of 23M citizens; we were treated to a plane trip to Haulien, known for its gorgeous marble and visited the breathtaking Taroko Gorge, one of their many national parks.

Our hosts in Taipei, including Charlyne Chen from the NV Economic Development office located in the Taipai World Trade Center arranged for us to meet with businessmen and women to discuss various issues business issues, to tour a state-of-the-art software park, and to explore the Taipai World Trade Center; it was non stop, action packed and we ate until we couldn抰 breathe! The entire trip was first class.

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.
I urge my colleagues� support of this resolution.

Hello Dr. Lei * I just wanted to thank you for including Judge Walsh
and myself in such a beautiful evening. I was quite happy to be there
to witness you receive the recognition you deserve. Thank you again for
including us and please accept my best regards to you and your wife,
