社評 1114 感謝國際中心年會支持者

 感謝國際中心年會支持者

美南國際貿易中心二十週年慶，上週五在休斯敦舉行, 前勞工及交通部長趙小蘭，專程來參加為我們加油打氣,  市長特納及國會議員格林、 希拉積克遜、縣長 、州議員、 市議員 、日本 、韓國、 印尼、 巴基斯坦、 賽布魯士 、安哥拉等二十位各國駐休斯敦總領事、 商界、 學界、 文化界人士近六百位佳賓與會， 這是我們莫大之光榮， 也代表了美國主流對華亞裔之重視。

多年來， 我們在這塊土地上落葉生根 ，但是就如趙小蘭部長一再鼓勵我們的一樣 ，我們永遠是華亞裔美國人， 更以自己之族裔文化和根源為榮。

市長特納在讃揚我們對美國之貢獻之外 ，並頒佈2002年十一月十一日，為美南國際貿易中心日， 當我接受這份榮譽狀 ，我心情澎湃， 更要感恩多年來一起打拼的伙伴和支持者。

歷史之巨輪是不斷向前滾動， 回顧過往 ，展望未來， 我們面對之挑戰仍然艱鉅， 但是， 我們永不畏縮， 將永往直前。

 We Appreciate All Of Your Support

 On behalf of the ITC 20th Anniversary Gala Host Committee, we would like to sincerely thank you all for your steadfast support and participation in the Gala.

 This event was a great success due to your valuable contribution. The ITC could not do it without the generous support of our sponsors.

 We are so honored that Secretary Chao made a special trip from DC to show her support for us.

 Mayor Turner has announced November 11, 2022, as Houston International Trade Center Day. Over the last 20 years the ITC has hosted many educational and community programs in fulfillment of its vision and mission.

 Our dear friend, Congressman Al Green and Sheila Jackson Lee also brought their remarks and proclamations to the Gala. We sincerely thank them for their support over the years.

 On this day, we just are so happy and grateful for all of your support. Thank you all again.
