LETTER TO FRIENDS RE ASIAN ACADEMY HALL OF FAME
(Please email or copy onto your letterhead and mail )
Dear
I am writing to ask for your help in getting the word out and soliciting
nominations for the Asian Academy Hall of Fame Awards to be held at the
magnificent Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece on November 6, 2005. This will be
followed by a cruise conference sponsored by the Asian Leaders Association on
November 7-11. The cruise will visit Mykonos, Santorini, Patmos, Rhodes, Crete
and Kusadasi (Turkey).
Asians have made significant contributions to the United States and the
world. It is time we stand up and be recognized, not just by our own ethnic
communities but by the larger mainstream community.
The mission of the Academy of Asian Leaders (AAL) is to discover, detail and
disclose the significant achievements and contributions of Asians around the
world. "AAL will preserve, teach, research and make available for advanced
inquiry and public awareness all of the records of significant achievements of
Asians. The Academy also serves as a forum for research, discussion, and
analysis of the significant contributions that Asians make to the world".
