Chinese New Year 2012

I extend congratulations to my Chinese constituents on the occasions of the Chinese New Year – Year of the Dragon.

23rd January marks the start of the biggest event in the Chinese calendar and up to 15 days of celebrations.  I know the Year of the Dragon is the most auspicious animal in Chinese culture and the Chinese New Year is a great time for family and friends to celebrate and an excellent opportunity for generations to come together to share plans for the coming year and to reflect.

I extend greetings to all my Chinese constituents on this happy occasion.
