How Hoa Celebrated Lunar New Year

This week has been special for the Rotary Club of Dunwoody and our GRSP student, Hoa Nguyen. Last Thursday, she delighted the people we serve at Anchor Place Respite Care by sharing what Lunar New Year in Vietnam is all about. It seems this holiday is much like our Christmas in terms of celebrating family and food! It was interesting to note that one day of the Lunar New Year celebration is all about celebrating teachsrs!

On Saturday, Hoa delighted another group - our Dunwoody Diners - who gathered at Nam Phuong to experience Vietnamese dining with Hoa. It was the biggest Dunwoody Diner event ever, with nearly 30 people. Hoa moved table-to-table, sharing her food favorites and helping navigate the menu. Her reaction: "I was absolutely thrilled to see everyone enjoying food from my home country. The Rotarians made me feel so at home  and gave me a truly special Lunar New Year."

She went on to say it all motivates her to excel in her studies and extracurricular activities.
