Here She Is, Miss Thai Town... 
Over a dozen Contestants vied for the title of "Miss Thai Town 2008" at Thailand Plaza Restaurant on June 8. Additionally over a dozen men also contested for the first "Mr. Thai Town 2008." The East Hollywood Neighborhood Council purchased a dinner table at the fundraising event, of which the proceeds went towards the senior health programs of Thai Health and Information Services, Inc, a local nonprofit located in Thai Town. EHNC Board and Committee members were in attendance and also gave away a pair of tickets to community members via an email contest for the event. Graciela Geyer from the Silver Lake-Hollywood-Ehco Park Metropolitan Alliance was our lucky ticket winner!
