Kristopher Raft, Esq.; Rita Vaswani; Joey Villaflor, MD, Chairman, Board of Health; among others. It is our regret not being able to post the names and titles of many important and special guests including some more hosts, because we could not get an update of the above list since January 20, 2004.

It was already popular for the past years to hold dinner parties to pay special tribute to elected offficials, but most of them were civil administratives or civic representatives. Dr. Tony Lei initiated to hold event and dinner party to pay a spcial tribute to the judicial professionals through elections in Nevada. Justice Nancy Becker was the first one selected by him to pay a tribute. A successful event and dinner party was held for her on May 23, 2001 at Harbor Palace Restaurant in Las Vegas. It was chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Theresa Malone, Member of Nevada State Board of Education; Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO; and Dr. Joey Villaflor, Member of Nevada Board of Health. We the Asian American communities have continuously achieved the efforts for other judicial professionals since then. "To dedicate to the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my challenge as an Associate Fellow of it's Public Administration Institution (PAI) to endeavor with all the intellectuals of this Institute to improve the quality of life of the people of Nevada," said Jennifer Togliatti at the Dinner Party on May 17, 2002. The Event with dinner was held by the Asian American Community to pay a special tribute to District Judges Michelle Leavitt and Jennifer Togliatti at the Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant in Las Vegas. Judge Michelle Leavitt deserves special recognition of her expertise, integrity, conscientious and dedicated professionalism. She has been a bright Associate Fellow of PAI since 2000. "Thanks to Dr. Tony Lei, Dr. R. D. Prabhu, and Attorney David Amesbury to chair this Event and Party. Together with knowledge as the power of rightiousness, we may build a community where this and future generations will have more opportunities and advantages to live a prosperous and healthy life," said Judge Michelle Leavitt at the Dinner Party.*13 We are deeply regret and sorry that Judge Michelle Leavitt's father passed away weeks ago on a Friday. Myron Leavitt, 73, a Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, who had a long political career in Nevada. He was born in Las Vegas. Myron was a football and track athlete at the University of Nevada at Reno, where he earned a journalism degree. He worked a year as sports editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal before studying law at the University of Utah.*14 Myron had private law practice for 28 years. He served as a Councilman of Las Vegas, a Commissioner Clark County and a Justice of the Peace before winning election as Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from 1979 to 1983. Leavitt served as a Clark County District Court Judge for 15 years before winning a Supreme Court position as one of its Justice in 1998.*15 The late Myron Leavitt is honored as a Memorial Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washingoton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 4, 2004. "I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas. Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16 -------------------------------- References *1.

Kristopher Raft, Esq.; Rita Vaswani; Joey Villaflor, MD, Chairman, Board of Health; among others. It is our regret not being able to post the names and titles of many important and special guests including some more hosts, because we could not get an update of the above list since January 20, 2004. All of the guests will be about 200 people. Attire for the event and party is business. Guests whom invited by Dr. Tony Lei, Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada and his wife Judy are: Miss Agnas Chan, Ms. Helen Hsueh, Mr. Jimmy Hsu, Miss Christine Hu, Mr. Xiao-sheng Huang , Mr. Raymond Lam, Mr. Mark Meng, Mr. Ja Pu, Dr. An-pyng Sun, and Mr. Yuan Chuan Tsai. It was already popular for the past years to hold dinner parties to pay special tribute to elected offficials, but most of them were civil administratives or civic representatives. Dr. Tony Lei initiated to hold event and dinner party to pay a spcial tribute to the judicial professionals through elections in Nevada. Justice Nancy Becker was the first one selected by him to pay a tribute. A successful event and dinner party was held for her on May 23, 2001 at Harbor Palace Restaurant in Las Vegas. It was chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Theresa Malone, Member of Nevada State Board of Education; Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO; and Dr. Joey Villaflor, Member of Nevada Board of Health. We the Asian American communities have continuously achieved the efforts for other judicial professionals since then. "To dedicate to the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my challenge as an Associate Fellow of it's Public Administration Institution (PAI) to endeavor with all the intellectuals of this Institute to improve the quality of life of the people of Nevada," said Jennifer Togliatti at the Dinner Party on May 17, 2002. The Event with dinner was held by the Asian American Community to pay a special tribute to District Judges Michelle Leavitt and Jennifer Togliatti at the Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant in Las Vegas. Judge Michelle Leavitt deserves special recognition of her expertise, integrity, conscientious and dedicated professionalism. She has been a bright Associate Fellow of PAI since 2000. "Thanks to Dr. Tony Lei, Dr. R. D. Prabhu, and Attorney David Amesbury to chair this Event and Party. Together with knowledge as the power of rightiousness, we may build a community where this and future generations will have more opportunities and advantages to live a prosperous and healthy life," said Judge Michelle Leavitt at the Dinner Party.*13 We are deeply regret and sorry that Judge Michelle Leavitt's father passed away weeks ago on a Friday. Myron Leavitt, 73, a Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, who had a long political career in Nevada. He was born in Las Vegas. Myron was a football and track athlete at the University of Nevada at Reno, where he earned a journalism degree. He worked a year as sports editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal before studying law at the University of Utah.*14 Myron had private law practice for 28 years. He served as a Councilman of Las Vegas, a Commissioner Clark County and a Justice of the Peace before winning election as Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from 1979 to 1983. Leavitt served as a Clark County District Court Judge for 15 years before winning a Supreme Court position as one of its Justice in 1998.*15 The late Myron Leavitt is honored as a Memorial Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washingoton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 4, 2004. "I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas. Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16 -------------------------------- References *1.

082505-2187 "Business & Administration" (PPAA 19), ***** Thursday, 8:37 a. m., August 25, 2005 #Second printing of the Fourth Edition *****Jackie Glass was appointed Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) By Valorie Vega, Bill Young, and Tiffany Chang *****Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this; He will mak your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. --- Psalm 37:5-6 of the Bible "To gain trust, you have to give trust. As sappy as that sounds --- and it sounds like a gurgling vat of maple syrup --- it's the basis of all successful professional relationships," wrote Rosanne Badowski.*1 The Titus 2:7-8 of Bible tells us that, "In everything set ...an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemmed."*2 In meeting with the large and growing population of public employees in the states of Asia and Nevada, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will open its training programs for the increasing graduate study and research needs of professional public administrators. To emphasize the balance of the practicality and theoraticality of the programs, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI has supported by many high-ranking officials of Nevada in offering their times, experiences, and knowledge to teach at an honorary or adjunct capacity.*3 "Through the recommendations by our several faculty members including District Judge Valorie Vega, Ms. Jackie Glass has been appointed Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on March 9, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on March 10, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Following the spirit of entrepreneurship, Jackie Glass has always been willing to take a challenge head on. Now she is on her challenge! While still in high school, Jackie worked as a waitress to help buy her school supplies and school clothes. When she decided to attend the University of Georgia, she continued as a waitress and worked her way through college. She took on extracurricular assignments, and earned a degree in journalism. Her journalism career brought Jackie to Las Vegas in 1978 where she began as a radio news reporter. She moved quickly to television and served as both a morning anchor and crime beat reporter. As she followed the course of the trials she covered, she watched attorneys in action, and knew she could do as well. A new challenge lay before her. Once again, she worked her way through college, graduating from the University of San Diego School of Law. In 1984, Jackie passed the Nevada Bar exam before graduation, received her Juris Doctor Degree,*4 was admitted to the Nevada Bar, and married her husband, Steve Wolfson. With her husband, Jackie worked to build their successful law practice while helping at her daughters' school, chaperoning field trips to Washington, DC, supporting the Girl Scouts and projects such as Nevada Reading Week. On the professional side, Jackie has lectured at the UNLV Boyd School of Law, spoke on law topics at local high schools, and appeared on the KLVX show, "Law for the Layman". She has devoted years as a hearing master to juvenile, domestic and paternity issues as well as criminal law. She credits her seventeen years of legal experience and her work as a journalist on the crime beat for giving her an insight for the law, the role of the judiciary, the needs of victims, and for ways to make our system work better. She served as a member of the Las Vegas Housing Authority Board and spent six years as a Board Member of the Senior Citizens Law Project. As a District Court Judge of Department 5, Nevada, Jackie Glass is part of a new generation involved with her family, her profession and her community to make a difference for all of us here in our Silver State. People with integrity live with clear consciences. "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice," stated in the Proverbs 21:3 of Bible.*5 "I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF). "It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for community service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expertise are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.*6 On March 9, 2004 at the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community for Ms. Ellen Knowlton, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, as the Speaker; Jackie was very pleased to learn from Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, that she was challenged with a teaching professionalism in the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI for our community at an adjucnt capacity.*7 "As a bridge between the business and university, the integrity of community service and academic research of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will help Nevada go advance for the cooperation and development in education, business, and culture among international countries. As an Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI, it's my pleasure to extend my knowledge, experience, and professionalism in public service for community and education at the adjunct capacity,"*8 said Jackie Glass, District Judge of Nevada, at the event and dinner party by Unity Council of Nevada in Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant on April 28, 2004 in Las Vegas.*9 --------------------------------------------- References *1.

I appreciate your love for our family and your diligence and efforts to provide for our needs. I pray that God grant you a fabulous day to celebrate this special occasion. You deserve the highest honor and admiration for being a great Dad!*2 I have clearly seen confirmations that the Spirit of God touched your heart in the past year. God truly has answered our prayers. I often give praise and thanks to our Lord for your transformation and share this wonderful testimony with people around me. Please continue to spend time with Mom to pray and read the Bible together. I am very proud that you are my father. You are a family and community leader who is intelligent, productive, focused, visionary, admirable and successful. You have impacted many lives in positive ways, including Mom, Mike and myself. Mere words cannot adequately explain your influence and accomplishments. Besides the many books you have written, your Presidency in the Washington Business & Technology Institute, Professorship in Taiwan, Doctoral degree, numerous governmental awards/honors, and contribution to the community, you have successfully held our family together and raised two God-serving sons. Congratulations! God has really blessed us through you, from our humble beginnings at the old Pepperdine campus to His abundant provisions to our family today. I will always remember the times you encourage me to study hard and get good grades. You also supported me to pursue a business-related career. I am very thankful since I know your caring played a role in me obtaining the good job I have right now. I will also always remember your prayers to God during my last trip home. Your prayers are sincere, personal, heart-felt -- truly like you are having a conversation with God. I want to learn from that. Our family now is getting closer and closer together. There is nothing better than all four of us praying, studying the Bible, and go to church together in one heart. Even though this is a simple letter, I hope it will bring you happiness. I will leave you with these words of blessings from Bible: 揟he righteous man leads a blameless life, blessed are his children after him Proverbs 20:7 I love you, Dad. Happy Father抯 Day!

We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones: ***** No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make other person feel important. ---Mary Kay Ash ***** There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assit another human being---to help someone succeed. ---Alan Loy McGinnis ***** There are two things people want more than sex and money ...recognition and praise. ---Mary Kay Ash Only God may create an indivivual with both of natual beauty and brilliant talent. I (Bobby Gronauer) may not understand Chinese language, but I could enjoy Nancy's talent in paintings. How wonderful! To encourage and promote community service and humane spirit have been two of the missions of Washington Business and technology Institute (WBTI) since its establishment in January 8, 1996. As a faculty member of this Institute, it is my great pleasure to offer my effort for the implementation of its missions in the adjunct level. The following article in Chinese is written by Miss Nancy Nan Jiang (江 南): 一次偶然的机会,经友人介绍我被邀作为首届拉斯韦加斯儿童书画比赛的评委而抛头露面。从而结识了一群有识之士。介于友人的支持和要求写一篇关于我自身对绘画感受及认识的文章。我出生在一个艺术之家,从小就受到艺术的熏陶,自然就对绘画有着不同的感情。可是对绘画谈不上什么深刻地认识,只能粗浅的谈谈对绘画的感受。 绘画功能只能靠绘画自身的语言来表述,既绘画图式。作为画作必须把握绘画的本体语言,固然我们要强调修养、学识、阅历等等诸多因素对绘画的影响,但决定性的因素却是画家的天质中对绘画有没有直觉悟性。如果一个画家缺乏绘画的灵气和才能,那它将无法将自身对事物的感受在方寸之间表达出来。绘画是一个画家的人格、精神内涵的外在的表述,画家作画并非一般意义上对生活的感受、再现,在一个画家的眼里,生活,仅仅作精神的参照物,客观物象必须促动画家的内心那不可名状的情绪,而这不可名状的情绪冲动在画家的笔下赋予了强有力的线条、色彩及绘画的整体结构表现出来,真实的画面充满着宇宙的哲理,开合呼应、疏密虚实、若即若离等等,那行而上的真实。并不是一般意上的生活的真实。 绘画的表达又是朦胧的,绘画给人得的审美感受只是在一种意义让观者根据自己的经验去体会从而使观者有视觉触动深层的审美冲动,这种审美冲动有时和画家的绘画冲动相吻合,这就产生了共鸣。有时不尽然,欣赏者自觉或不自觉地对一件艺术作品根据自己的经验在创造。画家的作品要给欣赏者在创造的空间,这个空间就是绘画的朦胧。故人家喜欢你的画,画家的画就具备了感染力和生命力。不可想象,一幅画仅仅只告诉人们我们画的是什么!那么作品定然是淡而无味的。 我不觉得绘画一定要将雅和俗参到一块,,雅和俗是两种绝然不同的东西,雅、俗各归其位,雅的东西必定由高人去做,去玩味。曲高和寡,人数虽少,但代表人类文化的优秀和精华;俗的东西由里巷云云之众去做,去热闹,牡丹之爱宜乎众唉 总之,绘画乃是人类生命的需要,也就体现着生命的本质。乃是对生命自由抒发永无休止地追求,生命对于来自任何方面的压力都会感到不适,而生命的拚搏又不能完全摆脱由种种压力所带来的不适,而在方寸之间则可抒志达情,可以释放压力带来的不适,有时一幅得意之作完成之后画家如释重负,会有一挣脱苦役后的快意。中国文化崇尚超然物外的玄远精神,因为现实中有诸多卑琐的东西困扰着人们,阻碍着人们对自身生存的文化环境和自然环境作终极思考,绘画之功能可以使人精神得以净化释放;一壶苦茗,可以清心明目,一幅好画,那是肩着自由苦役的人们的精神振奋剂。 We are pleased to learn that Nancy has such a brilliant understanding and perspective on painting and art.
