2013 Quincy Lunar New Year Festival

Pictured with opening ceremony performers 
On March 10th, I was invited to attend the annual Quincy Lunar New Year Festival. Thank you Quincy Asian Resources, Inc. for having me as a special guest at such a prestigious event. It feels like yesterday, I was in high school volunteering for this wonderful organization! I have volunteered many times in the past at annual August Moon Festival and Lunar New Year Festival celebrations.

Over 7,000 people attended this year's celebration, and helped ring in the year of the snake! Lunar (Chinese) New Year is a very special to me, so it was wonderful to be able to celebrate this occasion with the community.

 Some of them even invited me to upcoming events they were hosting. 
During my conversations, I also spoke about the Miss Massachusetts America and the Miss America Organization, and promoted my platform, ADOPT: Adoption Depends on Positive Thinking.

My favorite part of the day including spending time with friends and being announced onstage as a special guest. I was surprised and honored by this gesture. QARI put on a fantastic Lunar New Year celebration, and I can't wait to attend the next one!
