This year we look forward to celebrating Nowruz co-jointly with IZA at the Greek Church in Tenafly, NJ and look forward to a very successful event.

However, because we are not holding the function with all of our own Darbe Mehr items, we need some community assistance, and are looking for volunteers to work with a lead board member to help out with setup and at the event in the following areas.  If you are interested, please email Ferzin Patel at ferzin@ZAGNY.org with the areas you are interested in helping with.

Setup before the function will require people to be at the church by 4:00 p.m. (if you volunteer for this, please make sure you will be on time)

1.  Setting up tables with table clothes and center pieces.
2.  Setting up the bar
3.  Working an hour at the bar
4.  Decorations
5.  Helping at the registration desk
6.  Bringing soda bottles from the DM to the hall (this can be taken at the next religious class day March 1st  and brought the day of the function).
 
 

We would like to thank all those who are volunteering and giving back to their community.  You will be contacted by email as to what function you will be helping with and the board members name who will assist.

It makes it all worthwhile and fun for everyone.

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!
