Bao Xiong 2531 W 112th Avenue Westminster, CO 80234 March 22, 2009 To Whom It May Concern: I am pleased to recommend Kalia Lee for the 2009 Miss Asian American Colorado pageant. As a member of the First Hmong Baptist Church, I have had the privilege of watching Kalia grow and mature over the past 11 years into the beautiful, bright and compassionate young woman she is today. Over the years, Kalia has volunteered to help the congregation grow in various positions, such as: youth officer, youth music coordinator, children song coordinator, and now, congregation worship leader. In her positions, she has shown exemplary dedication and commitment to the social and spiritual growth of our members at large – from the children, to the youths, to the adults, as well as the seniors. Above all, Kalia is a continuous model of servant leadership and attends wholeheartedly and enthusiastically to her responsibilities. I believe that Kalia has the aptitude, personality and interpersonal skills to make a profound difference in anything she sets her mind to. I hope you’ll feel the same way. Please let me know if there are any questions. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Bao Xiong Secretary/Clerk WMU Chair First Hmong Baptist Church 720-300-2625
