Last night, our Miss Chinatown Houston, Miss Joy Le took double titles!  She won both "Miss Talent" and "Second Princess" at the Miss Chinatown USA Pageant.  This is the first time the San Francisco Chinese Chamber of Commerce (sponsor of the pageant) has allowed one contestant to win both titles!  Her talent was a Chinese fan dance displaying her beautiful technique and artistry.  Joy was the top winner outside the San Francisco Bay area.  

 

The results:
 

Miss Chinatown USA:  June Quan (23) - San Francisco, CA

Miss Chinese Chamber of Commerce:  Casey Him  (25) - Walnut Creek, CA

(Miss San Francisco Chinatown for Bay area contestants only):  Lisa Fei (20) - Berkley, CA

Second Princess:  Joy Le (19) - Bellaire, TX

Third Princess:  Cynthia Vuong (23) - Bellevue, WA

Fourth Princess:  Anita Wong (21) - San Francisco, CA

Miss Talent:  Joy Le 
 

Joy wins many gifts and prizes including $2000.00 for Second Princess, and $1000.00 for Miss Talent.  Joy is a freshman at Northwestern University in Chicago.  Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan (Gloria Guo) Le.

 

On Thursday, the CACA San Francisco Lodge will be hosting a luncheon at Four Seas Restaurant honoring the Miss Chinatown USA contestants, and Joy as a special honoree.  SF Lodge is always so welcoming and generous to our Houston representatives.  Next Friday is the Coronation Ball, followed by the Chinese New Year Parade on Saturday.

 

I know you will want to join me in congratulating Joy - and her parents, and thanking her for doing such an outstanding job representing us at the pageant.  We wish her the best and hope the remainder of her stay will be filled wonderful experiences and friendships made!
 

Best,
 

Linda Wu
