Celebrating
Lunar New Year: The Year of the Rat stamp kicks off the 2008 commemorative
stamp program of the U.S. postal service. The rat is the first
of 12 animals associated with the Chinese lunar calendar. People
born in the Year of the Rat are said to be industrious, adaptable
and ambitious. The Year of the Rat begins Feb. 7, 2008, and ends
Jan. 25, 2009. The stamp will be dedicated Jan. 9 at the Nob Hill
Masonic Center in San Francisco. Art director Ethel Kessler of
Bethesda, Md., worked with illustrator Kam Mak, an artist who grew
up in New York City’s Chinatown and now lives in Brooklyn.
