To preserve and re-establish the Vietnamese culture and traditions in the Bay Area, the Miss Vietnam TET Pageant is held once a year during the TET festival to bring friends and families together in a time of joyous celebration. Since its founding over twenty years ago, the Miss Vietnam TET Pageant has committed itself to not only recognize many of the great contributions and achievements of the Vietnamese here in the Bay Area, but also has given back to the communities during times of need. During the last two decades, the program has not only succeeded in its mission, but it has also prospered due to the unwavering support from our sponsors and volunteers. Without their devoted involvements and commitments, we would not be where we are today. Therefore, we would like to take this unique opportunity to express our great appreciation and gratitude for what has been given and accomplished. But there leaves much more work still to be done. If you would also like to take part in building this event together for many more years to come, please let us know your interest and support!

The Miss Vietnam TET Pageant of course would not flourish without the contestants themselves. Therefore, we would like to also take this opportunity to thank the many contestants and their families for their dedication and support through the many long months of preparation leading up to this year's event. Although only one contestant will ultimately be crowned as Miss Vietnam, we hope that each and every one of the participants will walk away from this year's event both culturally and personally enriched. May this year's contest be the experience of a lifetime!

Best wishes to every one and have a wonderful and prosperous New Year.

Sincerely,

Miss Vietnam TET Pageant of
Northern California Committee 2007
