Year of the Dragon
As we welcome in Lunar New Year (February 10 to 24, 2024), we extend our warmest wishes to all our members and their families, and to the wider community. This date marks the beginning of a new lunar calendar, which symbolizes renewal, prosperity, and good fortune, as well as letting go of the past and welcoming in the present new and good. The Year of the Dragon occurs every 12 years and is considered highly significant in Asian culture. The Dragon is associated with power, strength and good fortune and is regarded as a symbol of authority, leadership and success.
May the Year of the Dragon be filled with success, opportunities and fulfillment in both your personal and professional endeavors!
