Allow me to thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as a Trustee Chairman of one of the most vibrant organizations in Virginia. I will do my best to achieve the goals established by Asian American Store Owners Association with support from the executive committee and advisory board members. I want to enhance the fame and glory of our VAASOA to all who interact with it and its members.

VAASOA of Richmond Virginia was established in 2009 and I am very fortunate to be a part of this group. I am also very proud of this year’s executive committee and encourage all convenience store owners and gas station owners to become members of VAASOA of Virginia. Membership is free and we invite you to join us.

Please encourage new memberships, bring friends and families to upcoming events, solicit worthy people and companies to sponsor events and of course contribute part of your planned donations to VAASOA of Virginia.

I enthusiastically appeal to all of you to become involved and help VAASOA of Virginia to achieve it’s goals.

Thank you and I look forward to your continuous support.

Minesh Patel
Chairman
