This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to represent Ventura County in the San Gabriel Valley! I was invited to sing the National Anthem at the 3rd Annual DiverCities event in Rosemead hosted by Congresswoman Judy Chu! The program honored local businesses, volunteers, activists, and non-profit organizations for their outstanding contributions to the community. The day started off with a welcome from El Monte Councilwoman Norma Macias, the presentation of the colors by the Greater El Monte Post VFW, the National Anthem, and a Dragon dance performed by the Won Tai-Sen Dance Group! Following a brief interlude to grab appetizers and drinks, Congresswoman Chu discussed some political issues she has been taking on in Washington, including improving the national public transportation systems. Then awards were presented to Businessman and Businesswoman of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Community Activists of the Year, and Non-Profits of the Year. Each of their stories was so inspiring to me and a motivation to really get more active in Ventura County!
