Hi Everyone!

Thank you for your support at Nu Sinh Duyen Dang on Oct. 24th, 2009 at DePaul University.

Turnout was great, good energy from the audience, judges were tough but fair, contestants and staff worked really hard to give everyone an entertaining show.

And we raised more than $7000 for the Loving House Project! Incredible.

Congratulations to Ana Tran for taking the top prize, Cindy Nguyen (1st runner-up) and Jenni Mai (2nd runner-up).

Miss Ao Dai prize goes to Ana Tran. Miss Philanthropy is Cindy Nguyen and Miss Photogenic is Jenni Mai.

Whether in connecting with the Vietnamese community, giving to those less fortunate, or found that you had more courage than you knew;

we hope the Nu Sinh Duyen Dang experience was a rewarding one for you.

We’ll see you soon.

Sincerely,
IVSU Staff
