CNY Celebration

CNY Celebration Activities

Dear STC Community, As the lunar calendar heralds the arrival of spring, communities around the globe prepare to usher in the Chinese New Year. With 2025, we welcome the Year of the Snake. The snake, a creature legendary for symbolizing wisdom, fortune, and auspicious power in Chinese culture, promises a year of dynamism and vitality. The Chinese zodiac, Shengxiao, is a cycle of twelve animal signs, and the Snake is known for its deep thinking abilities. Those born in the Year of the Snake are celebrated for their calm demeanor, resourcefulness, and ability to analyze situations before taking action. As we bid farewell to the previous year and greet the Year of the Snake, we reflect on the lessons of the past and embrace the promise of renewal, setting ambitious goals, and pursuing them with quiet determination. Join us in celebrating the Chinese New Year of 2025, a year anticipated to bring transformation and growth, guided by the subtle yet powerful spirit of the Snake. Please see attached for more details about the celebration activities. Warm regards The STC CNY Celebration Team 2025
