AsianHealthServices-COVID19support

 

The Lunar New Year begins this year on Saturday 10 February. The 15-day festival is celebrated annually and signifies the beginning of the lunar year.

 

It is also known as the Spring Festival and an animal is associated with each new year - this year, it is the dragon. During the celebration period, Asian families gather for an annual reunion and cultural food.

 

Asian Health Services (AHS) Team is hosting a Lunar New Year Celebration and staff networking event on Friday 23 February 11am to 1pm.

 

This event will provide a valuable opportunity for our colleagues to connect and engage with like-minded individuals and teams, especially for our hardworking health workforce who do not have families in Aotearoa.

 

Please find the flyer attached for more information. You can join the event in person or virtually (11am to 12noon).

 

We wish you all prosperity, happiness and good health in this Year of the Dragon.

 

Grace Ryu and Asian Health Services (AHS) Team
