Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.


On September 15, 2011, the Board of Directors of Dinello Restaurant Ventures, Inc., appointed Mr. Andy Z. Fan as Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors, until the next annual meeting of Shareholders.  Mr. Fan’s directorship is uncompensated except for reimbursement for incidentals such as Board of Director meeting travel expenses.  It is anticipated that Mr. Fan, as an independent Director, will be appointed to the Audit Committee.  We believe Mr. Fan’s education, experience, and background will greatly improve our on-line marketing and increase our Chinese consumer base.


There are no arrangements or understanding between Mr. Fan and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a Director, and the Company has not entered into, nor has any currently proposed plans to enter into, any transactions in which he will have a direct or indirect material interest.  In addition, there are no family relationships between Mr. Fan and any other director or executive officer of the Company.


Andy Z. Fan


Mr. Andy Fan is native Chinese and a U.S. citizen. Mr. Fan has outstanding connections with the Chinese government, long standing relationships with Chinese media, and has a strong fan base in China where he has appeared in various forms of media over the past few years. He was once the interpreter for China's Head of State -- Prime Minister Li Peng. Later, he was awarded a full scholarship to study on the graduate level in the U.S., and was introduced to former U.S. President Bill Clinton by the University President and served as Clinton's Chinese interpreter.   Mr. Fan's popular book "Clinton and My Life" has made him an idol to millions of Chinese students, and a well-respected sought-after public speaker.


His nine popular books in China also make him a frequent guest on TV, as well as being followed and interviewed by media everywhere he goes. He has been on magazine covers, including “Chinese Business Leader”, “China Celebrity”, “China Private Capital”, “World Chinese Businessman”, “Discovery”, “Commerce”, “The View”, among others. To millions of fans and their parents across the country, Andy is their idol, their hero, and their super star. Due to his popularity, he is often invited as the guest of honor and speaker by many prominent organizations, such as being invited to Nobel Laureates Beijing Forum and Forbes China City Investment Forum. In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Mr. Fan was chosen to be one of “China’s 60 Role Models in 60 Years”, and his portrait was printed on a Chinese Postage Stamp in 2009.


In 2008, Mr. Fan founded and was the chairman and CEO of American Pacific Rim Commerce Group (OTC Greys:  “APRM”), a start-up company with the purpose of providing an on-line marketplace for trade between U.S. small and mid-size businesses and Chinese businesses and consumers. In 2009, Mr. Fan was appointed to the Board of Directors of One World Ventures, Inc. (OTC Pinks: “OWVI”), a holding company with management resourced in Asia and the United States that invests in technologies, communities and systems that facilitate trade, finance, communication, and travel across international boundaries, cultures and languages.
