“El Grammy honorario de Simón Díaz es un gran orgullo para Venezolanos en Hollywood. No es que nosotros se lo dimos, pero sin nuestra iniciativa nunca hubiera ocurrido. El Grammy del tio Simón será siempre una gran ejemplo de lo que una organización como esta puede originar. Uno nunca sabe qué gran idea puede ser planteada en cada reunión.”
