On February 2, New York State Senator Steve Rhoads helped to ring in the year of the dragon with the Plainview Chinese American Association at their Chinese New Year Gala at Stratford Road Elementary School. It was a wonderful opportunity for people of all backgrounds to come together and celebrate the rich and vibrant culture of the Chinese American community. Senator Rhoads was honored to join in the fun cultural festivities and show his steadfast commitment to a continued collaboration between different communities to create a stronger and more prosperous New York. Great work by the Plainview Chinese American Association and all the organizations and volunteers that made this event possible!
