photo by Dyana Crummet
There will be two memorials to honor the life of our dear friend Jenneth Webster held here in NYC on August 1st and on August 10th. 2014.
Jenneth Webster was one of Khyongla Rinpoche's first students in New York City and one of the first members of Kunkhyab Thardo Ling -- The Tibet Center. She was a great friend to the Center and included us in several Asian fairs at Lincoln Center which helped us pay the rent. She introduced us to many people who didn't know there were Tibetans or a Tibetan organization in the City.
As Associate Director, Programming of Lincoln Center Out Of Doors for almost 30 years, Jenneth offered hundreds of performing artists from countries and traditions throughout the world free programs before thousands of people.
The first of two memorials, Lincoln Center is honoring Jenneth in a free public memorial on August 1 at 4:30 pm outdoors to the right of the Metropolitan Opera House featuring some of the artists who worked with her, as well as speakers. When the event ends at 7:00 pm you are invited to go to the left of the Met where Lincoln Center Out Of Doors will present many other artists.

IN MEMORIUM...DR ALESSANDRA BINI
The Tibet Center was extremely saddened upon receiving the news that on February 26th 2014 our beautiful friend Alessandra M. Bini PhD had passed away.
DR ALESSANDRA BINI
Alessandra was a devoted buddhist practitioner, esteemed scientist scholar and the nicest heart you could ever meet. We will miss her very very much. The Tibet Center will say prayers for Dr. Bini this Monday March 3rd, 2014.
She is survived by her son Matteo Lorenzet. We will post information regarding funeral or memorial services as details are made available to us.
Dr. Alessandra M. Bini was the Program Director in the Diversity Training Branch within the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In this role, she oversaw funding mechanisms such as the Ruth L Kirschstein National Research Service Award Predoctoral Fellowship (F31) and the National Research Service Award Institutional Training Grants (T32) Supplements. In addition, she was involved in trans-NCI and trans-NIH activities.
From 2006 – 2010, Dr. Bini served as the Scientific Review Officer (SRO) for the Nuclear Dynamics and Transport (NDT) Study Section and for the Cell Biology and Development (F05) and Technology Development (F14) Fellowship Study Sections at the Center for Scientific Review (NIH/CSR). Earlier, she served as SRO in the review offices of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
Prior to joining NIH in 2001, Dr. Bini was Associate Laboratory Member at the Lindsley F. Kimball Research Institute of the New York Blood Center (NYBC). Her research focused on the interaction of the matrix metalloproteinases system with the fibrinolytic system relevant in thrombosis, atherosclerosis, angiogenesis, and inflammation. She participated in the scientific review process for agencies such as the American Institute for Biological Sciences (AIBS, US Army) and the Department of Veterans Affairs Merit Review Boards.
Dr. Bini received her Ph.D. in Pathobiology and Molecular Medicine from Columbia University in New York for work on the role of thrombosis in the progression of human atherosclerosis. Previously, she obtained a Dr. Biol.
