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
