Dear community members and friends,
As we now welcome the month of June and approach the half-way point of 2024, we hope our June newsletter finds our community members doing well and ready to welcome the official start of summer this month!
During the month of June, according to the Shenshahi calendar, we also ring in the start of Bahman (or “Behman”) Mahino. Included in this newsletter is a short writeup from our own Kayomarsh Mehta who explains the concept of Behman.–Special thanks to Mr. Mehta for spreading this wealth of knowledge among and for our community!
We have a lot in the ZAMC to look forward to in the coming months. Further down in this Newsletter we’ve provided a broader glimpse into some exciting upcoming events so you can begin to mark your calendars sooner than later.
Among these events is our upcoming Father’s Day Picnic taking place on Sunday, June 16. More information for this and other programs and events can be found in this newsletter.
Another of our upcoming events is our Shenshahi Navroze celebration and the immediately preceding Mukhtad and Gatha Prayers which will begin in August. The Mukhtad prayer form (attached towards the end of this newsletter) must be submitted by August 7.
Finally, a gentle reminder to please ensure that your ZAMC membership dues are up-to-date. Going forward, in future newsletters we will be working on publishing a running list of all membership dues paid for the year in the newsletter. If you’re not in the list but think you should be, please let us know. Your membership can be renewed online by visiting our website.
As always, please feel free to reach out to our Board members, or in general at zamc@zamc.org with any questions or ideas you may have.
