Every year I celebrate Chinese New Year, I really believe that it is important to welcome in each new year and the opportunity to start with a clean slate and to once again set goals for the forthcoming year.
I always go into Surfers Paradise and join in the celebrations every year.
This is the year of the water snake, and my Chinese friends gave me a beautiful Jade snake for good luck.
I am always very proud to be with my special friend Cr Dawn Critchlow a wonderful lady who works ceaselessly for the community in her role as a councilor.
