The Year of Calm and Prosperity

By John Bwarie CEO, Alhambra Chamber of Commerce

e year is still young and full of promise. As we celebrated Lunar New Year last month in Alhambra, we were able to see the amazing diversity of our city come to life. We shared our traditions, food, entertainment, and values with our neighbors and visitors from throughout Southern California. We even celebrated the economic, cultural, and physical vitality of our city. e Alhambra Lunar New Year Festival is just one of the many signi cant cultural touchpoints that our community brings to the Southern California landscape. We have a rich history and by working together we can have a prosperous future.

Our community’s work ethic, optimism, and desire to build a legacy make us special. is is what bonds us even when we disagree. Perhaps the healthiest action we can each take starts with asking, how can we help bridge our di erences, provide value, and deepen our commitments to create a better community. In the Year of the Rabbit, we have the opportunity for calm and steady prosperity after the past year of uncertainty.

Good health is perhaps the greatest wealth. is issue has several articles to remind you to take good care of yourself in every aspect: physical health, dental health, mental health, and nancial health. If February brings to mind one special day of celebrating love, remember to express it by taking care of yourself as well as those around you. Whether you enjoy a great meal, a fun outing, or a day of relaxation, Alhambra has everything you could need to celebrate.
