欢迎休斯敦纪事报发行人梅尔女士一行来访

今天我们非常荣幸在美南新闻传媒中心新落成的美南环球剧坊接待休斯敦纪事报梅尔发行人一行, 包括董事长斯威尼先生, 我们已经近二十年未见面了。

我们上次见面时， 这理还是荒芜一片， 二十年来 我们经过在座的先驱者诸多社区商业领袖之努力， 已经在国际区及西南区发展了近七百家各型大小商家及金融机构 ，成為休斯敦最亮眼的経济示范区。

今天我们和纪事报之媒体先进共聚一堂， 并且邀集各族裔之领袖讨论如何共同為休斯敦之繁荣和族群共容而尽力。

我们同时有两个愿望 ，第一 ；我们希望和纪事报每年至少有两次社区座谈会， 讨论我们社区面临之各项挑战。第二； 我们希望纪事报在休斯敦和全国之资源和近五十家的各族裔媒体， 包括报纸、 电视进行合作， 举办各种活动 ，新闻交换以促进社区全面的経济文化交流。

我们和纪事报之交往 ，早在九O年代已经开始 ，我也要特别感谢早年担任重责的麦德威及詹森先生， 给予我们华亚裔之帮助。

今天的聚会是我们二十年来的第一次， 感谢梅尔发行人之来访 ，也要谢谢我近三十年的老友罗旦索教授之安排。

谢谢各位之光临。

Welcoming Houston Chronicle Publisher Nancy Meyer And Chairman Jack Sweeney

Today we are very honored to welcome Madam Nancy Meyer, publisher of the Houston Chronicle and Chairman Jack Sweeney.

Mr. Chairman, we haven’t seen each other in nearly 20 years since you came to the International District.

Over twenty years ago most of Bellaire Blvd. was raw land. Over time, through the efforts of many business and community leaders, today we have developed hundreds of thousands of businesses in this area, including banks, supermarkets, retail stores and restaurants. We have become one of the most prosperous and successful business model areas of the City of Houston.

Today we are so glad to host this welcoming luncheon in our new Houston International Studio at our television center. We will use this new media platform to promote the City of Houston around the world.

Madam publisher, I have two proposals for your consideration. One of them is to have this type of community leaders meeting with the Chronicle at least twice a year; second is that we want to join with the Houston Chronicle and more than one hundred Asian media organizations, including TV stations and newspapers to promote local events. We can become partners in many areas to promote the greater Houston community.

 For myself and Mr. Gary Randazzo, Jim Noteware, Glen Gondo, Stephen Le and Danny Nguyen, as well as our board members of the International Trade Center and International District, are all here to say a heartfelt “thank you” for your many decades of support.

Again, Publisher Meyer, all the very best, and much success to you and the Houston Chronicle.
