Dear Marion:
Many thanks for coming to Los Angeles to share your wonderful story and work at RFFA with D5280’s
Rotarians on Tuesday, January 10 at the Westin LAX. Your passion and caring shone through the grim
statistics of the plight of the 15 million orphans in sub-Sahara Africa, and acquainted us with a well-
organized and operated organization that provides them with hope, and our Rotary clubs a way to lend
a hand. My only regret is not knowing about you and RFFA earlier when I was in Atlanta for the
National Social Studies Conference back in November!
The clip showing Reagan expressing his dream to be a leader someday, was touching, especially as
our current leader Barack Obama as a youngster expressed a similar wish to become a president in an
essay to his third grade teacher. President Obama is the subject of my two latest releases published
by Pacific Heritage Books, MEET PRESIDENT OBAMA: America’s 44th President (ages 6-9)
and BARACK OBAMA: Historymaker (ages 10 through adult), recently honored with the
Pinnacle Book Achievement Award.
As RFFA incorporates one of Rotary International’s focuses, literacy, in its mission and seeks partners
with community organizations and businesses to support the KIDZ Clubs, I would like to relay the
interest of Pacific Heritage Books in partnering with you to bring both books, and perhaps some of its
other children’s titles, to the clubs and the children they serve. Because we are a small independent
publisher, we are unable to make large monetary donations, but we would like to and can offer our
quality publications to RFFA at a special courtesy discount so many children can enjoy them.
Please accept complimentary copies of our children’s books for your consideration and enjoyment.
We look forward to hearing from you should you be interested in partnering in bringing any or all
of them to RFFA’s KIDz Clubs and their members.
Yours in Rotary service,
Angi Ma Wong
Past President, Palos Verdes Sunset Rotary
Sr. Asst. Gov. D5280, Special Projects 2009-2010
Dear Angi,
I have to say that your wonderful letter touched my heart — and you made a connection between dear Reagan and our President Oama that I had not considered before. Wonderful! Thank You! I also consider your compliments in high regard since I have read that you, yourself, are an outstanding podium speaker. As we both know, one must be convinced that the topis is of real concern and have some valid answers for a solution.
Thank you so much for your generous offer of partnership. It is certainly something that RFFA would consider and hold in high regard. You books certainly have gained prominence and impressive awards. I will have discussions with my team and get back to you on how we might work together.
Warmest wishes,
Marion
