A few weeks ago, Ramon diligently filled out an application, essay and all, to be considered for the 2008 US Pan Asian Chamber of Commerce - Wells Fargo Asian Business Leadership Award.
We didn't win.
But we did get this really cool certificate thanking us for participating. It even says that our background and accomplishments were very impressive and that they applauded us for our success.
"As a token of our appreciation, we would like to present you with a commemorative "Year of the Rat" ceramic plate." wrote Susan Au Allen and Iris Chan "and the enclosed Certificate of Recognition."
Needless to say this beautiful plate with, not one, but three rats on it will be prominently displayed next to our picture with the mayor.
