温馨集会 友情永固

週末参加了麦医生主办的苹果电视新春晚会， 在越裔美妙舞姿及乐声中， 大家在享用精美餐点之际， 更漾溢在越南族群之新春佳节氛围之中， 我代表国际区向麦医生所建立之事业王国及她对社区之贡献表示由衷之祝贺。

麦医生係在越南战后来到美国的难民， 当她苦学成為牙科医生后， 先后在大休斯敦地区创建了近二十家苹果牙医诊所 。以企业管理方式成立地建造了牙医王国， 為广大市民提供便捷、 廉价及优质服务， 在事业有成之时 也成為国际区轨行理事， 积极参与改善区内治安经济工作， 并主持国际区大门之筹建工程。

参加当晚的还有环球第一银行常务董事黄泰生伉儷， 美南新闻社社长朱勤勤以及国际区执行理事史蒂文黎， 我们非常兴奋他的身体康復迅速， 也同时上台致赠纪念品给晚会主麦医生。

我们应该非常庆幸在这片土地上相互支持， 亲如手足， 如今更能服务社区 ，真是感恩再感恩。

Warm Gathering With Friendships Forever

On the weekend, we participated in the Apple Dental Spring Festival Gala hosted by Dr. Mai and her husband. With the wonderful dance and music, all of the guests enjoyed exquisite Vietnanese cuisine. I represented the International District to express our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Mai and the “empire” she has built in Houston. 

Dr.  Mai is our Asian role model. She was a refugee who came from Vietnam after the war. With her hard work, she become a dentist and has established more than 20 dental clinics in the greater Houston area. Her dental "kingdom" is managed using a form of corporate management that provides convenient, affordable and high-quality dental services to the general public. In the meantime, she also actively serves on the board of the International District focusing on the improvement of public safety and economic growth in our area. She also presides over the construction of the International Gate now being built in our district. 

Also attending that night were Dr. Sam Huang, Executive Board Member of Global One Bank, Mrs. Catherine Lee, President of Southern News Group and well-known business executive and board member of the International District, Mr. Stephen Le Sr. We were very excited and happy to learn about his fast recovery. He also went on the stage to present souvenirs and gifts to Dr. Mai. 

We should all feel very grateful that we came to this land. We have all become as close as brothers and sisters who support each other while continuing to serve our community.
