  Obama meets with China President Xi Jinping at Sunnylands on June 7-8, 2013

  Posted on May 21, 2013 in Charity, June 2013, Rancho Mirage, Sunnylands by Suzanne

  

  The Desert Sun, May 21, 2013

  RANCHO MIRAGE — The power of the Annenbergs endures, and next month will draw President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping to Sunnylands for their first presidential meeting.

  Diplomat/philanthropists Walter and Leonore Annenberg drew almost every U.S. president from Dwight D. Eisenhower to George W. Bush to their Sunnylands estate.

  Following their deaths, a foundation was tasked with turning Sunnylands first and foremost into a “Camp David of the West,” where the president could meet with other world leaders, particularly from the Pacific Rim.

  Jamie Kabler of Rancho Mirage, whose daughter is one of the trustees of the Annenberg Trust of Sunnylands, was ebullient about Monday’s announcement, particularly for proving Sunnylands’ bipartisan appeal, given the Annenbergs’ politics.

  “Sunnylands always had kind of a Republican air about it,” he said. “Now it really is the Camp David of the West.”

  The visit will mark a return of sorts to the world stage, Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit said. “I remember how excited the whole valley was to host the prime minister of Japan, 20 years ago or something like that. It’s been a long time,” he said.

  He was referring to a 1990 state dinner President George H.W. Bush hosted at Sunnylands, possibly the only one ever held outside of the White House.

  Rancho Mirage City Councilman Scott Hines has been attending a World Cultural Forum conference in Hengzhou, China, and wrote Monday via Facebook message, “The country is buzzing about the visit and I’m very proudly telling people it is in my hometown and at Sunnylands.”

  The Annenberg Retreat at Sunnylands has been hosting summits since early 2012, and has already drawn Bill Gates and Condoleezza Rice in its new incarnation. But events likely won’t get any bigger than what will transpire June 7-8.
