Thanks to the creativity, dedication, and hard work by RVA volunteers, the Vietnamese Community was awarded First Prize for our cultural booth at the 2009 Annual Asian American Celebration, held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center on May 9, 2009. The theme of this year’s celebration was “the Art of Asia”.
