Dear community members and friends,
We hope that our February newsletter finds our community members safe and healthy.
The year has already brought our community many reasons to celebrate. We were proud to hear that at the recent WZCC Global Conclave in Pune, our own Cyrus Rivetna was declared winner of the prestigious “Outstanding Zarathushti Entrepreneur of 2023” award. Congratulations to Cyrus on this well-earned recognition!
The year 2024 will also mark the year in which we host the first youth-planned fundraiser at the ZAMC, the Valentine’s Gala. More details on this exciting event (including the link to register) can be found in the “Upcoming Program” section in this issue.
As part of our continuous efforts to celebrate and support our youth, the ZAMC Scholarship Committee has also announced our annual ZAMC Scholarship is now available, and includes the ZAMC Student Scholarship as well as the Putla Dara Press Endowment Scholarship. Special thanks to the Press family for their generous contributions toward making the Putla Dara Press Endowment Scholarship possible. The deadline to apply for these scholarships is May 1, and more information on how to apply is provided in this newsletter.
Another highlight of 2024 is this year’s FEZANA AGM, which will be hosted by us at the ZAMC this coming April. We need volunteers for a variety of tasks and events, so please contact our ZAMC President, Jamshed Rivetna, at jamshed.rivetna@zamc.org to join our planning committee.
Finally, a reminder that as 2024 is in full swing, please ensure that your ZAMC membership dues are up-to-date. Your membership can be renewed online by visiting our website.
