(JERICHO, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) celebrated the start of the Year of the Snake at the Chinese Association of Jericho’s annual Lunar New Year celebration on Saturday, Jan. 25.
“Jericho is home to one of Nassau County’s largest and fastest-growing Chinese American communities, and it is fitting for Jericho to host one of the region’s most elaborate and beautiful Lunar New Year celebrations,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “It has been a privilege to ring in the Lunar New Year with the Chinese Association of Jericho each year that I have been a Legislator, and it is always a joy to see how the event evolves and grows from year to year. As we wish everyone a wonderful, healthy and prosperous Year of the Snake, I applaud the Chinese Association of Jericho all it does to enrich Nassau’s cultural tapestry and salute the Jericho School District for embracing the diversity that makes our community so vibrant.”
