Lunar New Year

North Lake College's annual Lunar New Year celebration was held Feb. 16 in the cafeteria. SPAR hosted the event, which featured a lion dance and Dr. Henry Su's Tai Chi and Tae Kwon Do students. Egg rolls and hot tea were served as refreshments.

The start of the Chinese New Year was actually two days later on Feb. 18 — the Year of the Pig. If you were born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983 or 1995, you were born under the sign of the pig. It will be celebrated again in 2019.

Those born under this sign, according to Chinese legend, tend to have excellent manners, make and keep friends, and work very hard.
