On Thursday, April 21, 2011 Kansas City Missouri Mayor Mark Funkhouser awarded the Key to the City to Robert Chien with a proclamation for his service to the City of Kansas City. Chien founded the Society for Friendship with China and has long been active in international relations for Kansas City, particularly with our Sister City Xi'an in the Peoples Republic of China. Kansas City owes its colorful annual Dragon Boat Festival and the lifesize reproductions of Xi'an's famous clay soldiers on the Plaza and so much more to Bob Chien.

Chien thanked the mayor for this recognition, as well as the city of Kansas City Missouri and all ethnic Chinese and American friends in the greater Kansas City, without whose "support and encouragement, I can not accomplish one single thing."

Congratulations, Bob!
