On May 8 is scheduled for Plano AsiaFest 2021, a family-friendly festival that
celebrates Asian American heritage. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. that
Saturday, and is free for the public to watch.
The organizations that received the 2021 HERitage grants are Abide, The GEMS
Camp, Hopeful Solutions, Soul Rep Theatre Company, Southern Dallas Link, TR
Hoover CDC, and Viola’s House.
This event promises to be special for two reasons: it is an opportunity to honor
mothers, and it is one of the first chances to reunite with one another after
more than a year of separation.
Ram Mehta, co-owner of Plano’s La Meglio (formerly In-Fretta) Pizza and
co-founder of nonprofit Everyone Eatz, has always made giving back part of his
business model.
The idea for the virtual kitchen started at the original Dickey’s location in
Dallas, and has now expanded to more than 40 locations. It will debut in 20 more
locations this month, including Plano.
