I recently attended the Asian American Real Estate Association's 9th Annual Spring Gala held at the massive Ocean Palace in Bellaire.  Pictured to my left is the new President of the association Lauris Tam.  To his left is DR Horton homes sales manager David Wilcox.  What an exciting evening full of tradition and entertainment.  This is the year of the dragon.  From vocal performances, to dragon dances, lively music and much more, the crowd was colorful and everyone felt the amazing Asian cultural experience.
