On February 19th, families all over the world will celebrate the Lunar New Year and ring in the Year of the Sheep.
Communities around the globe mark this special occasion by gathering with loved ones, paying respects to elders and ancestors, reflecting on the past, and looking toward the future with a sense of hope and renewal.
As people in California and across the nation come together in celebration, I offer warm wishes to all for a happy and healthy Lunar New Year.
