THANK YOU DINNER, Pia's Home, November 5, 2016

THANK YOU DINNER (honoring those who helped at CHOP's events in 2016),
November 5, 2017, at Pia's lovely home

CHOP'S Board of Directors hosted a delightful potluck dinner last night for all the movers and shakers who were instrumental in the successes of CHOP's food tours and events during 2016. The dinner was held at the lovely home of our President, "Generalissima" Pia Lim-Castillo.

The occasion was also a fitting time to announce that our next President beginning next year is none other than our beloved Ige Ramos, continuing CHOP's super lucky streak in having at its helm excellent leaders in the culinary heritage field.
