"In America, anyone that works hard will never go
hungry." Says Donna Hom, as she addressed 520 of Cleveland's
International elite as she, along with seven others, were inducted
into the Cleveland International Hall of Fame. In her acceptance
speech, Donna talked about her true rags to riches story that led to
her starting Li Wah, King Wah, Ho Wah, and Asia Plaza. She also shared
her vision from decades ago of growing Cleveland's Chinatown, and
promoted this weekend's Cleveland Asian Festival as an event that has
had a lot of impact in helping make that vision reality. The annual
Festival that attracts 40,000 people will be on May 17-18, located at
East 27th and Payne Avenue anchored by Donna's Asia Plaza, featuring
over 100 exhibitors, over 22 Asian food vendors, and two performance
stages. Donna was joined at the induction ceremony by her four great
Sons, Harold, Ed, Steve, and Randy and their families. The
International Hall of Fame is organized by ClevelandPeople.com and the
induction ceremony was held at the Marriott Downtown at Key Center. |
