What an incredible Lunar New Year celebration across our community! Nearly 600 people joined us in Summit for a festive evening filled with music, dance, and cultural activities, thanks to the Summit Library Chinese Club for their amazing performances and programs.
Just a few days later, more than 450 community members came together at the Berkeley Heights YMCA to keep the celebration going with another night of joy, tradition, and togetherness. We are especially grateful to the Berkeley Heights Diversity Council, Han Academy, and BuyLocal NJ for their partnership in making it all possible.
These events truly showcase the strength of our community, and none of it would be possible without the incredible dedication of our volunteers and staff. You are the heartbeat of everything we do—thank you for helping us bring the Lunar New Year to life!
