  Welcoming the Lunar New Year

  Join us at Sonoma Clean Power on Saturday, February 28, 2026 for an afternoon of culture, food, and community as we welcome the Lunar New Year together. This event is part of our AAPIC Connect Cultural Makers Series, and is presented with support of the Sonoma Vietnamese Association (SOVA).

  Celebrating our Many Traditions
  

  Lunar New Year is celebrated across many Asian cultures as a time of renewal, family connection, and shared hope for the year ahead. We will be centering Chinese and Vietnamese celebrations of Lunar New Year and Tết — while also recognizing and welcoming the diverse ways our communities mark the beginning of a new year. This event includes:

  • Potluck luncheon - AAPIC will provide main dishes; guests are welcome to bring a side dish to share

  • Vietnamese spring roll demonstration and making

  • Calligraphy demonstration  

  • Youth activities & crafts including mini scrolls and games for children and families.

  An Interactive Immigration Workshop for the Workplace
  Practical guidance for employers and managers

  A practical, interactive workshop designed for owners and managers of small and medium-sized businesses, particularly those in service-oriented and people-facing industries.

  This workshop focuses on preparedness—helping employers think through decisions and take action before problems arise, calmly and lawfully. It is designed to support businesses navigating a changing immigration enforcement and compliance landscape, without fear-based messaging.

  An immigration attorney will provide clear legal context, including an overview of California laws such as SB 294 (effective February 1, 2026) and AB 450. Participants will learn what employers can and cannot do, and how to respond appropriately to requests from immigration enforcement.

  Rather than a lecture, the workshop uses realistic scenarios, guided discussion, and role-play to explore what workplace readiness looks like in real situations. The session is designed to be practical and grounded in the realities employers and workers face.

  Who This Workshop Is For

  This workshop is intended for:

  • Owners of small and medium-sized businesses
  • Managers, supervisors, and operations leads
  • Employers seeking practical, workplace-specific guidance
  • Businesses that rely on trust, stability, and clear internal procedures

  What Participants Will Take Away

  Participants will leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of employer rights and responsibilities
  • Practical guidance from an immigration attorney
  • A Workplace Immigration SOP (Standing Operating Procedures) packet to adapt and implement
  • Greater confidence in responding calmly and lawfully if issues arise

  Accessibility & Logistics

  • The facility is wheelchair accessible.
  • Light refreshments will be available 30 minutes before each session begins.
