ZAGNY will hold its annual Pateti function at the Pomona Darbe Mehr on Saturday, Aug 25th. We have a fun filled program and all are encouraged to attend. 

Registration will start at 5:15 PM. The program will begin with an “Atash Niayesh” prayer at 5:30 PM, followed by cocktails, between 6 and 7 PM ONLY. Once the cocktail hour has closed, we have entertainment, including a play by our Religion class students and award ceremony. This will be followed by good old Parsi bhonu and dancing.

Please avoid the late surcharge and kindly mail the registration form (page 7 of our July Newsletter) to reach us by August 19th.

WANTING A RIDE TO THE DARBE MEHR FOR THE PATETI FUNCTION???
If you need a ride from the city, please contact Shahnaz Shroff (shahnaz@zagny.org) or Vispi Kanga
(vispi@zagny.org).

Our Zoroastrian community is invited to participate in the Muktad Prayers for all five days from August 15th through August 19th, 2007. In order to accommodate workday schedules, ZAGNY is offering the community prayer services in several locations around the tri-state area with the generous help from some of our members. Our thanks go out to the host families who have graciously volunteered their homes and to the Priests who have kindly agreed to perform the prayers.

The muktad prayers at the Darbe Mehr will be held on Sunday August 19th at 11:00 AM. This will be sponsored by Yasmin and Jamshed Ghadiali in memory of Khorshed Jungalwala. Those wishing to donate, make your check payable to ZAGNY-Memo “For Khorshed Jungalwala Lecture Series”.

Lunch will be served after the prayers.  For more information, and to submit names, please use the form in our July newsletter.
