On May 22 in Long Beach, assemblymember of the 55th district Warren T. Furutani awarded Cambodian Coordinating Council as APIA Non-profit of the Year.  Steve Meng, Cam-CC vice president, Dr. Song Tan and among others board of directors were honored to receive the award.

Some pictures are coming in from the Sixth Annual Cambodian New Year Parade.

Many Cambodians have a lot of freedom to celebrate multiple New Years.  This includes the western New Year at the end of December, the Chinese New Year typically around February, and the Cambodian New Year in mid-April.  The Cambodian New Year is one of the biggest celebrations for Cambodians. The celebration lasts for 3 days with activities ranging from traditional ceremonies at the temple to activities within the families and friends.  It seems odd since the New Year's day is not the beginning of the year in the calendar they use including the Khmer lunar calendar.  So most people even Cambodians ask why do Cambodians celebrate New Year in April?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Congratulations to another successful event. The 6th Annual Cambodian New Year Parade was possible through contributions from corporate sponsors, committee members and hundreds of spectators at the event. We would like to Thank everyone for their support and hard work!
