Those from China, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea are celebrating with huge festivals. I hope those who are in places far from those celebrating find a chance to gather with their close friends and loved ones to spread the celebration world-wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year represents my second Lunar New Year celebration with my partner. As many of you may know, it is also the auspicious year selected for my wedding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time with my partner, I\u2019ve learned so much about traditions and a culture I knew little about and I believe it\u2019s allowed me to grow. I\u2019ve taken on much of the work and am not expecting him to provide the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m wishing all members that celebrate the Lunar New Year in one form or another a wonderful year ahead. It\u2019s time to celebrate shared moments with loved ones and know we will accomplish great things as we move forward together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Lunar New Year (the Year of the Wood Dragon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, Merci, \u13d9\u13be\u13d3\u13aa\u13b2\u13a2 \u201cdi-da-yo-li-hv-dv-ga-le-ni-s-gv,\u201d which means \u201cUntil we meet again\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pronouns: She\/her<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alisha Campbell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National President<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Union of National Employees<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>O\u2019Siyo \u13a3\u13cf\u13f2&nbsp;\u201co-si-yo,\u201d (Cherokee: I see you) Hello, Bonjour and \u4f60\u597d!
