events. This included school board members. Elected officials in surrounding
municipalities should be invited. E.G. (Winter Garden, Apopka, Oakland &
Orlando). Badges identifying individuals as descendants should be consistent at all
evetts, M

the audience and stage or facing the audience, depending on the event. Some electef�
officials did not have a reserved seat at the event on Sunday.

name tag. HRDB members should serve as ushers, ensuring that events are running as
planned and people are seated in the correct areas.

Q=. -
I — Lunar New Year is officially celebrated by four of the six largest Asian American subgroups (China, Philippines, Vietnam, and Korea) and
was officially celebrated in Japan and now is unofficially celebrated in certain areas in Japan (see References 8 and 9 listed above). Lunar New
Year is not a religious holiday like Christmas is for Christians, Eid is for Muslims, Diwali is for Hindus, and Hanukkah is for Jews. Therefore,
Lunar New Year a/k/a Chinese New Year a/k/a Spring Festival is on this list. However, Lunar New Year is listed both in January and in February
because some years like 2022 Lunar New Year is in February but in other years like 2023 it will be in January. Also, in some of the Asian
countries that celebrate Lunar New Year they use different names such as Teft in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea.
2 — Generally, this document has not included medical related special occasions of which there are many. However, there are exceptions such as
American Heart Month, special occasions dealing with mental health, children, or abuse which I feel are important enough topics to consider.
Most special occasions dealing with specific diseases have been excluded,
Children are indeed our future. Therefore, special occasions that would generally not be included if they pertain to motivating or encouraging
children in some way may be included.
4 — It is my personal experience, and it is supported by additional research, that Thanksgiving is treated as a religious harvest festival by religious
people of any faith but it is also celebrated as a non -religious harvest festival by non -religious people,
