Maria joinedthe League because her parents, who emigrated to the UnitedStates, “believed that the United States was the land of plenty andif you were blessed with much you should pay it forward.” Mariatakes pride in the League’s role of “providing a nice and positiveshopping experience with quality items. She adds, “We are fulfillingpeople’s desires for the ‘best’ that they can afford.”Her goal this year is to get the word out about the wonderfulselection of clothing, housewares and furniture found on FreretStreet by using creative marketing.
