• Hello
• It is such an honor to be here tonight to help you celebrate your 10^th Anniversary
• It is exciting to see a room full of dedicated staff who work hard to improve the lives of families with young children
• This is your night to celebrate all of your hard work.
• I was privileged to attend your celebration in 2004. I am so impressed at the growth of your organization and to see how many more programs and franchises there are now. It is indicator of your good work.
• The Parents as Teachers International Center is proud to be associated with Beijing Oriental Babycare over the past 5 years. 
• Our international center is celebrating 25 years next fall. We hope all of you will come to our celebration. You are part of the PAT family.
• Our joint mission is to better inform parents of young children about their child’s development and provide parents with the latest parenting information. This makes parents feel more competent in raising their children.   Parents better understand what is age appropriate and therefore do a better job of engaging their children in play. Parents read to their children more often and offer more literacy activities. The ultimate goal is that children are better prepared for school and life in general.
• Beijing Oriental Babycare has a reputation for quality service to families which is so important to PAT and which has contributed to your growth.
• Your work is valued and celebrating together tonight as a team is so important. You are making an impact all across China. You are changing children’s lives for a better tomorrow. 
• Congratulations again. All of the staff at Parents as Teachers in the U.S.A. applaud your great work. We are proud to be associated with such a distinguished organization.
