President’s Message

I am honored and excited to welcome you to the American Association of Singapore’s 89th George Washington Ball – Starlight at the Ritz. The Ball is our signature event and our biggest fundraiser, and it supports the many community activities of our association.

The American Association of Singapore was founded more than 100 years ago to smooth the transition of American expatriates to Singapore and to bring a little bit of America and American culture to all based here. AAS founded many of the pillars that are very much part of the Singapore community, such as the American Chamber of Commerce Singapore (AmCham), American Women’s Association of Singapore (AWA), Singapore American School, and The American Club. Our mission is to build and strengthen our community, which we try to do with our signature and other events such as the George Washington Ball, Ambassador’s Cup Golf Tournament, Fourth of July Celebration, Fall Fest, Thanksgiving, and Toys for Tots.

The importance and role of AAS was reinforced to me recently at our Thanksgiving Dinner event. Several families came up to me and told me that they were new to Singapore and had arrived from the US only a short while ago. They did not know many people in Singapore and wanted to meet and spend Thanksgiving with others. It was heartening to see that some of the reasons why the organization was set up over a century ago still resonate today and that AAS continues to play a vital role in Singapore.

We have a large number of donated items that are available through our silent and live auctions and lucky draws. Please do energetically participate and bid. Create some friendly competition against others who may want the same item. Please remember that the proceeds will go to support our community-building efforts and events.

Some of today’s proceeds will also be donated to our charity for this year, VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer. You can read about the wonderful work they are doing in this program.

We are also thrilled to recognize Ron and Janet Stride as Special Guests of Honor at our Ball. Ron and Janet have been in Singapore for almost 40 years and we want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank them for their many contributions to the community in Singapore and the region.

This 89th edition of the George Washington Ball was made possible by the generous support of tonight’s donors and sponsors, particularly Avrio Wealth, Coinbase, Expat Dental, Google, High as Unicorn, and Huber’s Butchery, as well as our community. In particular, we want to thank the GWB Organizing Committee led by Chairperson Chris Milliken, and members Paulina Bohm, Joan de Souza, Alexandra Dolibic Fancher, Tomi Fujimura, Virginia Klucznik, Garima Lalwani, Suman Masciarelli, Michelle Reeb, Lauren Upton, and Lindsay Withaar. I also want to thank the many sponsors and donors of prizes and auction items that contributed to the success of our Ball. Last but certainly not least, I want to recognize the efforts of our staff led by our General Manager, Melinda Murphy, Thila Chandra, Sabrina Lim, Nilam Mehta, Vincent Vallejo, and Susan Williams.

Our efforts throughout the year would not have been possible without Strategic Partners, whom we thank for their continued support. These include our Patriot Partners – Singapore American School, The RitzCarlton Millenia Singapore, and United Airlines; Stars & Stripes Partners – Allied and The American Club; Community Partners – Brown-Forman, Epiphyte, Expat Dental, Sirva, SOS, and XCL World Academy. Please enjoy and have a wonderful evening. Thank you for your support of the American Association of Singapore.

Ashok Lalwani

President, American Association of Singapore

TONIGHT, WE ARE VERY PROUD TO SUPPORT THE INSPIRING WORK OF VIVA FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER.

Cancer is the leading cause of death by illness among children. And even those who win their battle with cancer have often faced months or even years of treatments. Our littlest souls should be playing with friends, not laying in hospital beds. We need to find a cure.

That’s why this year, the George Washington Ball is supporting VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer to establish two rooms at the VIVA Hub for patients, survivors and their family members impacted by childhood cancer under their Life Program. VIVA’s Life Program aims to empower childhood cancer survivors to live healthy, happy and fulfilling lives. This Program encompasses five key areas: personalized dietary guidance, physical activities to boost health, healthy sleep habits, emotional resilience which includes psychosocial support, and support for academic and career growth to pave the path for

a brighter future. With this comprehensive approach, survivors are equipped to thrive in life.

These rooms will provide the required facilities and resources to carry out activities such as events, workshops and evidence-based interventions like cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques.

More widely, VIVA is a Singapore-based charity which focuses on saving lives of children with cancer through research, medical care and education. The organization works very closely with the worldrenowned, US-based St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with the ambitious aim of translating the high cure rates achieved by St. Jude into Singapore and the wider Asia region.

VIVA was born out of a mother’s grateful love. After her son won his own battle against his cancer, Jennifer Yeo dedicated her life to ending childhood cancer so that every child has a future.

The word “VIVA” is an acclamation for “long live!” and VIVA works to rewrite the future of children with cancer, as every child deserves to live and no child should die in the dawn of their lives.

A portion of the proceeds of the event also goes to support the American Association of Singapore, a 108-year-old non-profit.

GUESTS OF HONOR

We are thrilled to honor Janet and Ron Stride at this year's George Washington Ball. There truly is no more deserving couple than the Strides.

American citizens from Chicago and New York City respectively, they moved to Asia in early 1985 when Ron's company, the consulting firm Booz Allen & Hamilton, transferred him to Jakarta, Indonesia to do a project for Bank Negara Indonesia. In 1988, the pair moved to Singapore where they have since resided. Ron retired from full-time employment in 2006 and the couple has chosen to make Singapore their retirement home.

Janet and Ron have long been involved in community work in Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore. Janet has been a long-time volunteer at the American Women's Association (AWA) and Friends of the Museums (FOM). Ron has been an active board member of several non-governmental organizations including serving many years on the Executive Committee of the American Association of Singapore (AAS), four of those years as President. He is currently the Chairman of Food from the Heart, a Singapore-based food distribution charity, and Vice Chairman of an education-focused charity in Jakarta.

Additionally, the Strides have a foundation that sponsors tuition and expenses for a number of high school and college students in the USA.

Please join us in thanking them for their years of contribution. They truly have made this corner of the world a better place.
