After months of hard work the first annual induction and Ball of the 2001 officers hit center stage Saturday April the 28th. A new Philippine-American non-profit organization founded by Josie R. Baron promotes performing arts of both Philippine and international cultures.

The event was reservation only, formal, black tie with live entertainment. 200 plus special quest enjoyed an excellent dinner and cash bar at the Atlanta Airport Marriott. As one of the many events scheduled for the 2001 calendar year by PAPAG, the Induction Ball was wonderfully successful.
