Mayor Sarno Wishes Everyone a Happy Chinese / Lunar New Year

Mayor Domenic J. Sarno states, “To all of our residents who celebrate, I wish you happiness and good health as we celebrate the Lunar New Year and welcome the Year of the Ox.  Springfield has a rich and proud Asian-American history and population, especially our Vietnamese-American residents, who have always been so welcoming to me – I/we will miss attending their very festive and colorful New Year’s event this year due to the pandemic.  We still need to acknowledge and celebrate these positive occasions where we can.  Now more than ever do we need to take a moment to celebrate the blessings and good health we have.”
