ABOUT OUR COVER  
HALL OF FAMERS 2010

Can’t find words to describe my feelings of joy, elation, and satisfaction over the just recently concluded 16th annual Chicago Filipino American Hall of Fame gala event held last March 13th at the Hyatt Regency downtown hotel. In other words, I’m just tickled pink to be receiving outpourings of congratulations, warm thank you’s, and sincere compliments from the hall of fame awardees and guests. This really makes me forget about my long, sleepless nights and hard days’ work devoted in putting together a most successful event in which words of smashing success reverberates throughout our community.
