[Note- Senator Schumer was kind enough to provide two greetings- one, a formal letter from his office, and two, an extemporaneous and informal one, for the camera. NTD extends our warm appreciation to Senator Schumer and his staff for the extra effort and kind words.]

Dear Friends,

Please accept my warmest greetings and best wishes as you gather to celebrate with New Tang Dynasty Television’s Chinese New Year Global Spectacular. I am grateful for the opportunity to recognize the exemplary work and performance of everyone involved in this project. Through this performance’s music and dance we can appreciate the history and traditions of such a rich culture. Today’s significance allows us a time to reflect on our past accomplishments and focus on our future with new hopes and endeavors. I wish you all a joyous and prosperous New Year as we enter the Year of the Boar. Gong hay fat choy!

Sincerely,
Charles E. Schumer
United States Senator

Happy New Year to the great Chinese-American community. May we have a great Year of the Pig. The Chinese-American Community is one of the best things that ever happened to America.
