VABAW’s annual banquet

December 24, 2008 By Northwest Asian Weekly

The Vietnamese American Bar Association of Washington’s annual banquet was held on Oct. 28 at the Triple Door. The theme for the evening was “Ambassadors to Our Communities.” The sold-out event was packed with 230 guests.

The event kicked off with hors d’oeuvres and drinks followed by a three-course dinner catered by Wild Ginger. The keynote speaker was Jerilyn Brusseau, co-founder and president of PeaceTrees in Vietnam, an organization that sponsors the clearance of landmines in the Quang Tri Province of Vietnam.

The event concluded with a fashion show of traditional Vietnamese “ao dai” dresses by designer Thai Nguyen.
