Wayne so modestly forgot to mention the highlight of the Prom. During the dinner/presentation portion of the evening, each SBA member and commissioner received recognition in the form of a certificate. Some of the more active members were lucky enough to get a t-shirt or a portfolio.
The best award, however, was both created and presented by none other than B-rad Simon. Near the end of the presentation, SBA board members recognized the most valuable Commissioner. This year marked the unveiling of this award - The WAYNE FONACIER SOLLER AWARD of EXCELLENCE. To top it off, it was presented to our very own Brian Yasuzawa. The crowd went wild and I can't recall a more exciting moment that night.
For all those who are dying to catch a glimpse of this prestigious award, stop by the SBA office because it will be mounted on the wall. Each year another excellent commissioner's name will be added to the plaque.
Yay, Wayane and Brian - What an honor!!!

It's quite an honor really and the kind words from Brad were also really nice. I usually don't like the spotlight put directly on me and this wasn't an exception. Which is probably hard for some people to imagine considering all the things I do that attract attention. And it was more embarrassing than anything else at the time. But I do recognize the honor for what it is and was greatly appreciative to have shared the moment with my good friend Brian who deserved to have his name adorning the top of that plaque more than I.
Now I wonder who will win next year's Waynie Award. That's right, The Waynie. Or should we call it The Solly?
Your family must be so proud.... :(
Oh, they're something alright. I'm not so sure proud is the word though.
You should call it "The Asian Sensation"!
