FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR- 044-11 February 3, 2011 STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON LUNAR NEW YEAR “New York City’s Asian-American community has made invaluable contributions to our City, and this week’s Lunar New Year events provide a terrific opportunity to celebrate. This is the year of the Rabbit – a wise and considerate sign. As many New Yorkers exchange red envelopes and watch the dragon troupes dancing in our streets, we can all reflect on what we have already accomplished together, and look forward to the challenges ahead. The Lunar New Year is celebrated by New Yorkers with a heritage in China, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia and other parts of Asia, and I wish all of them a Happy New Year.” MEDIA CONTACT: Contact: Stu Loeser / Marc LaVorgna (212) 788-2958 STAY CONNECTED Twitter YouTube Flickr |
