On our upcoming Chinese New Year special broadcast I'm welcoming Ms. Ashley Fu. She is the chair of the Young Professionals of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Honolulu, Hawaii USA.
"The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential," said the Sage Confucius, "these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence." That's certainly the case with this group of 20 to 30 year olds. They are making their imprint on the community while positively impacting the community.
I'm also welcoming back Mr. Douglas Chong of the Hawaii Chinese History Center in Honolulu's Chinatown. We'll share a few moments hearing about the announcement and release of the 2018 Chinese New Year commemorative postage stamps in January. Both Chong and leaders of Hawaii's Chinese community were directly involved. You can still purchase these at your local post office in the USA or do so online at: https://store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/lunar-new-year-year-of-the-dog-S_564804
