My staff and I joined several Lunar New Year Celebrations across the county this month. From the vibrant festivities at California State University, Fullerton’s Lunar New Year Celebration, to the joyous Tet New Year’s Eve Celebration hosted by OCTA Chairman Tam Nguyen at Advance Beauty College, wonderful Lunar New Year performances by children and volunteers at the Fullerton Chinese Cultural Association, and capping it off with the fantastic OC Tet Lunar New Year Festival hosted by Supervisor Andrew Do - the spirit of family, community, and tradition was truly inspiring!

We wish all who celebrate Lunar New Year, good fortune and good health this Year of the Dragon!
