NAUROOZ DAY PARADE CELEBRATION

The fifth “PersianParade” in celebration of NauRooz Day is coming soon and it will take place on Sunday March 30, 2008. The Parade is expected to draw tens of thousands of participants and spectators in New York City. The Parade procession will march on Madison Avenue starting at 41st street and ending at 27th street. The Parade promptly begins at 12:00 noon.

It has been suggested by the organizers that the Zoroastrians participate among the very early floats. Adults and children may be in traditional Zoroastrian attire, preferably in white attire like Dagli, Dagla, etc.

We are planning to meet all Zoroastrians at the South West corner of Park Avenue and 41st Street around 10:00-10:30 AM Kindly ensure that everyone is ready and assembled at that corner as we will slowly proceed from there to Madison Avenue to be ready to commence the Parade sharp at NOON. Please email your name and telephone # to Khusheed Navder (secretary@zagny.org) so that we have a record of all attendees at the Parade. Thank you.

LET US MAKE THIS NAUROOZ DAY A GREAT SUCCESS!

Friends, 
On May 12th , IZA brings us an evening of classical and Iranian music by the Barbad Chamber Orchestra (named after a sixth century composer) at Darbe Mehr.
 
This is an orchestra with an Iranian conductor as well as some of the members. They perform classical music by Mozart and Mendelssohn as well as couple of contemporary western-type classical music by Iranian composers Reza Vali and Ramin Heydarbeygi.

There is a $15 charge ($10 for Students and Seniors). After the event, please stay for a taste of wine and Persian food. The flyer is attached here.

Please join us at the Darbe Mehr, at 8 pm for this unique opportunity. Hearing the elegant classical and traditional melodies flow through our Darbe Mehr will be a landmark event. And Remember! Please send an email RSVP to Shirin to let her know that you plan to attend. (sherrykiamane@hotmail.com)
