On February 3, all BCNC staff, interns, and volunteer leadership gathered together at Empire Garden Restaurant for a traditional Chinese banquet to celebrate Lunar New Year.

We recognized staff who have served the Asian and new immigrant community at BCNC for 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 years. Congratulations to all the staff who were recognized and thank you for your service to the community!
