Over 50 people gathered to celebrate 2023 Lunar New Year’s Day. Just before starting the dinner banquet, KCRA 3 News Team visited us and interviewed me to feature Mosaics in the local news: https://www.kcra.com/…/davis-lunar-new-year…/42607259.

Dozens of people celebrated Lunar New Year Saturday in Davis.

The celebration was held at the Davis Community Church.

“A place to celebrate, and have a good time, and emerging into this cultural event with so many people who are from different backgrounds,” said Rev. Stephen Moon, of Intercultural Mosaics.

Moon said the church regularly holds Lunar New Year celebrations to ensure people have a place to celebrate their culture — and the cultures of others.

We celebrated the new ” Year of Rabbit” with traditional Korean banquet with Chinese-Korean dumplings and many delicious traditional desserts followed by various games, music, sharing of gifts and raffle drawings.

We haven’t decided when we can effectively switch to in-person gatherings in a weekly basis at the Phoenix Hall, Davis Community Church. There are still great dangers of Omicron variants and sub-variants. Especially now, the winter respiratory viruses (including flu, COVID-19, and RSV) circulating across the state, will last until the late spring. Our leadership will re-discuss at the end of March, if staring in-person gathering weekly from April or May 2023 will be a good idea. We can continue meeting through Zoom (thank God for technology!) with monthly big event at the Fellowship Hall until we are safe to meet in-person regularly in a weekly basis.

Thank you and Happy New Year!
