Nowruz Pirooz!
Wishing each of you, your family and loved ones a very happy Nowruz! March is our busiest ZAC month of programming, and with it each year comes the joy of Nowruz, a New Day. We usher in the Spring equinox during this special time, we begin to watch flowers bud, foliage come to life, birds chirping, sunnier days, and the renewal of personal resolutions as a new year unfolds.
This month’s newsletter is packed with a variety of events and we sincerely hope you will get involved. From gahambars and the Dar ni Pori Bake-a-thon, to our sponsorship of the Oriental Institute’s Persian Nowruz Celebration, our annual Nowruz celebration, and ZAC Clean-Up Day.
March is about participation and getting involved in whatever capacity you can. It’s also a popular time to renew your membership to our beloved ZAC. So let’s join together this month to usher in a new year of growth and interconnectedness. On behalf of the entire board of directors, thank you for your participation, for your ideas, for your generosity, and for building the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
Hamāzor Hamā Ashō-bēd!
May we all be united in strength and righteousness!
October 5, 2019 marked a significant moment for the Zoroastrian Association of Metropolitan Chicago as the community came together to worship as one, at the first-ever Grand Jashan commemorating Behram Roj and the Arbab Guiv Baaj. ZAC is so thankful to Farida Sharyari for her grand idea and organization of this event! Thank you to Zinnia Elavia for helping with coordination of this event as well.
