We are incredibly honored and filled with gratitude to see Kakrona Center Inc. recognized by the City of Lynn. Thank you to everyone involved for uplifting our work and our community. This truly means more than words can express.

To our Khmer community, this moment brings happy tears and a deep sense of pride. It feels like a breath of fresh air to be seen, heard, and acknowledged. Being recognized by the city for the work we are so passionate about is simply amazing.

The “Dancing Dragon” pavilion represents more than just a structure, it is a symbol of our culture, our history, and our future. It reflects the resilience of our families, the beauty of our traditions, and the strength of our youth. For so long, there has been a missing space to celebrate and honor Khmer identity here in Lynn. This project brings us one step closer to changing that.

We are beyond thankful to work alongside such dedicated leaders, organizations, and community members who believe in this vision. It is an honor to learn, grow, and build together. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for this recognition, this opportunity, and this moment. We carry it with pride and continue our mission with even more passion.

With gratitude,
Kakrona Center Inc.

On behalf of Kakrona Center Inc. and our entire community, I would like to extend our deepest thanks to Chief Reddy and the men and women of the Lynn Police Department for your protection and support during our Khmer New Year Festival this past weekend.

It was truly an honor to have you join us. We were especially grateful to see you walking through the festival grounds, personally engaging with our vendors and meeting members of the community. Having the LPD so visible and involved adds a significant level of comfort and joy to our celebration, and it reflects the strong, positive relationship between the department and the people of Lynn.

Thank you, Chief Reddy, and the entire LPD team, for your dedication to our safety and for taking the time to celebrate with us. We are proud to have your support and look forward to our continued partnership.

Sincerely,
