“Take Me to Thailand” Performance at Historical Museum
(L-r) Citizen of the Year, Sho Tay, with Arcadia Mayor Peter Amundson, in the Chandelier Room at Santa Anita. Tay was presented a congratulatory plaque from the city by the mayor at Chamber awards dinner.
This year’s Chamber of Commerce Installation and Citizen of the Year Award Dinner on March 31st was a triple winner with the celebration and recognition of retiring Chamber executive director Beth Costanza (who had the dubious pleasure of being roasted by former Mayor George Fasching). Mayor Peter Amundson installed the incoming Chamber president, Bob Hoffman and board of directors. Scott Hettrick, new executive director of the
Chamber, served as emcee and kept the agenda on schedule. Citizen of the Year, Sho Tay, was introduced by last year’s honoree, Vince Foley, who always does a heads up job. The V.I.P. evening included a delicious dinner and silent auction. The ambience of the Chandelier Room added to the success of a well paced evening that was enjoyed by all. Congratulations to Beth, Bob and Sho.
One of the most exotic and colorful programs was presented by “Hands on History Program for Families” at the Charles and Ruth Gilb Arcadia Historical Museum April 2nd. Fifteen beautiful Thai dancers performed traditional dances in elaborate gold headdresses and satin native attire.
Traditional Thai orchestra performed at “Take Me to Thailand” performance at Historical Museum. The young museums and dancers were from the Thai Community Arts and Cultural Center, founded in 1992 by Vibul Wonprasat.
