      Happy New Year, Backers!
      This is very important year for me as my 50th and final wedding is scheduled to take place this May 22, 2011 in NYC. I hope you can join me. In the meantime, I was featured on TV (channel 25) on Asian America, Jan 2nd & Jan 6th, 2011. Please see link attached for more.
      Furthermore, I will be off to Detroit, MI in a few days. It looks like I almost missed that state.
      So for those of you requested postcards will be getting it in mail.
      Others, I will think of you as I travel once again.
      Miss you all,
      Maria
