LVRJ/wbti: Las Vegas nicer with community service through cultural arts and performance!
by Stewart Bell, Jessie Walsh, and Tiffany Chang

The City of Las Vegas and Thai Cultural Arts Association of Las Vegas(TCAA-LV) presented Thai Performing Arts Appreciation Day 2002 at Charleston Heights Arts Center on September 17, 2002.*1 It was co-sponsored by Mr. Jheri Psmyth - Kids for a Better Society; Dr. Tony Lei - President, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Mr. Tim Wong - CEO, Arcata Associates; Mr . Raymond Lam - Vice President, Chinese American Citizen Alliance of Las Vegas; among others. Thai Cultural Arts Association of Las Vegas (TCAA-LV) on the occassion of the 9th anniversary saluted three awardees with Awards from U. S. Senator Harry Reid and U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley: Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei, Mr. Tim Wong, and Mr. Raymond Lam.

The Association saluted also four awards from TCAA-LV: Ms Joanne Lentino, Ms. Jeanne H. Johnson, Mr Tim Wong, and Ms. Jennifer Schember.

During the Performing Arts Appreciation Day 2002, Dr. Tony Lei was very pleased to welcome so many government officials, community leaders, business owners, among others. High-ranking government officials who participated the Event and Dinner Party included: Lorraine Hunt, Kathy Augustine, Erin Kenny, Bill Maupin, Stewart Bell, Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Jennifer Elliotts, Valorie Adair, Dianne Steel, Lisa Brown, Anthony Del Vecchio, Cheryl Moss, Natalie Tyrrell, Mike Davison, David Roger, David Wall, Bobby Gronauer, Herb Brown, Bill Young, among others. In his welcome speech, Dr. Lei believes that all of us share a sense of cooperation for the supporting of cultural richness. He pointed out that "this is a significant milestone of the contribution for the mutual cooperation of cultural and social service between American and Asian communities." *2

Lt. Governor Hunt was introduced by Dr. Tony Lei to the public to deliver her greeting speech to all the audiences and participants. The enthusianstic participants were overwhelming including important officers, leaders, and media executives: Brian Sandoval, John Hunt, Nancy Wong, Tim Wong, Nancy Diaz, Kathie Ambrosio, Judy Ray, Gerry Schroder, Francis Allen, Mike Malone, Geny Del Rosario, Teresa Woo, Richard Dennison, Mike Vaswani, Patty Blakeman, Aldo Aguirre, Auroea Maskall, Raymond Lam, Jessica Hwang, among others.*3

Full with enthusianstic attendants in the Hall of the Arts Center, all of them enjoyed a big night out with many elected officials, appointed officers, business executives, and communiry leaders through the atmosphere of elegant and classic dance and music from Thailand.

TCAA-LV's Outstanding Performers Awards were Pannee Connolly, Robert Ashton, Nina Singchai, Kemika Sriprom, and Shirley Kaeratana.

WBTI has supported Thai Cultural Arts Association of Las Vegas (TCAALV) already more than ten years for its annual Thai Performaning Arts - Appreciation Day.*4 It is a vivid example for its proclamation and creed which are for the encouragement and promotion of academic research, community service, and humane spirit. "He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling him. My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another," said the Bible.*5

The following is another example of what we would like to do for related and concerned associations in performance and publicity:

"Dear Tony, Thank you very much for your support of the Singapore Association of Nevada (a non-profit organization) during our launch year of 2003. It is with your support and encouragement that SAN has become a highly respected organization within the State of Nevada and the Republic of Singapore. When I founded SAN in 2003 it was with my strong passion and belief in the Republic of Singapore and the opportunity it provides for Singaporeans and can also provide for Nevadans (including businesses based in Nevada)... Kindest Regards," wrote Jonathan Galaviz, President of Singapore Association of Nevada.*6

Dr. Tony Lei has innovated and encouraged good idea for program and event to improve the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada. United we stand, not just for our Asian Community only but for all our people and nation as a whole. Asian Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that the Asian communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society.

"As the Director of Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), I've shared a pleasant leadership with Dr. Tony Lei cooperated by all the Faculty members of this Institution since it's establishment on January 18, 2000. Innovated in integreting his expertise in institutional management and spiritual value in education, Dr. Tony Lei's effort and wisdom for the community service in Nevada in the recent eight years have been very valuable. We expect Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF) founded by this Institute in September 28, 2001 will contribute to improve the quality of life of the people and the prosperity of this State of Nevada," said Dr. William Thompson, UNLV Professor of Public Administration, at the Gee Joon Chinese Restaurant of Horseshoe Club on January 28, 2002 in Las Vegas. The dinner party was held by Washington Buisness and Technology Institute (WBTI)*7
