CHICAGO, IL: The Asian American Coalition of Chicago honored Indian Americans Pardeep Singh Deol, Samita Shah, and Niranjan Shah at their 26th Annual Lunar New Year Celebration, the Year of the Ox 4707.

The gala function on Jan 24 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont Illinois was themed "Cultural Threads Woven into the Fabric of a United Future" and was hosted by the Korean American community of Chicago.
