Happy Year of the Snake! On January 25th, many Asian cultures celebrated the start of lunar year. Our local Buddhist Temple, Chua Viet Nam, invited Casserly House to join the celebration.
After ESOL classes, 9 people walked over to see the beautiful decorations, an engaging dragon dance, and loud fireworks! Our neighbors kindly offered us delicious Vietnamese food as well, and even lucky new year envelopes, sharing their culture and kindness.
Thank you, Chua Viet Nam!
