Celebrate the Lunar New Year--wishing our Chinese and Asian community a happy and healthy year
Happy Lunar New year. Today is the beginning of the year of the Rabbit (one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac). Westchester County is celebrating the new year at the Michaelian Office Building, 9th floor, 148 Martine Ave, White Plains at 5:30 PM on Tuesday. RSVP to communications@westchestergov.com.
For at least 23 years the Evergreen Club has been meeting at the Theodore Young Community Center on Manhattan Ave. Over 100 participants, most of Chinese heritage, enjoy Tai Chi, singing, English instruction, board games, dance and music. We are so pleased that the Evergreen Club has been an important part of our community and look forward to celebrating the Lunar New Year with their members this week. We have a large Chinese community in Greenburgh--and it is a community that is growing. The Chinese community in Greenburgh are active and help to enhance the character of our community.
There are also many events in NYC that will be taking place during the month. A highlight is the NY Chinatown parade scheduled for February 12th.
If you know of anyone looking to move to a great neighborhood or open up a business in a community that is welcoming and diverse --encourage your Chinese friends and family to consider Greenburgh. We will make them feel special!
