Member Billy Lee Honored at 1990 Institute Gala

Thanks to Billy and Lucille Lee, George Chadwick and I were able to attend the recent 1990 Institute Gala. The Gala was filled with stars from Hollywood (Joan Chen, Russell Wong, and Hudson Yang), from Silicon Valley (Alibaba, Blackberry, etc), and from Washington (Ambassadors Gary Locke,  Jon Huntsman, Jr., etc)
But the brightest star was our Billy Lee who was honored that evening for being one of four people to have started the 1990 Institute.

Let me quote the Gala's brochure: "Billy's personal mission at the 1990 Institute was to always build relationships. He is best known for numerous youth exchange programs through his Children, Art, and the Environment Program, where he impacted over a million children. His proudest moment was the launching of the World's Children's Mural Painting Part at the China National Children's Center in 2008. An annual event, this program was 'proven to be an effective way to build xin-xin jiao (heart-to-heart bridges) among children from different countries, backgrounds, and cultures."

Look at Updated Menu!

In response to requests, I've printed the entire menu for our celebration in the new version of our flyer below. Also please note the start time (5pm). We look forward to seeing you there!

Ring in The Year of the Monkey!

Holiday Cheer!

December 13th, Teresa O'Neill opened her house (once again) to our group. We enjoyed a nice take-out meal from China Stix, had some wonderful conversation with old friends and new, watched a bit of The Moveable Feast, and definitely started off the holidays in a fun fashion.

Roosevelt Institute Speaks Out

Member Flo Oy Wong recently sent us news from the Roosevelt Institute where her daughter Felicia is CEO. The Institute spoke out against Donald Trump and his racist agenda--and the news was published in the New York Times.  To read more--and to sign up for newsletters from the institute--click here
