Celebration of Nouroz

March 27, 2009 was the time for celebrating Nouroz. The Rooyesh cultural Society was successful in creating moments for all of us to appreciate this significant, ancient, and earth-connected event.
A large group of us gathered to enjoy listening to the lovely music and socializing while tasting all the good food everyone brought. Special thanks to Mina for all the hard work, dedication, and preparation. I believe all the children who attended this gathering and receiving gifts of love and appreciation, will remember how much we can be happier with one another. So will the rest of us. Thanks

Nouroz Pirooz.
Happy Nouroz and Happy Spring.

Who We Are
Rooyesh means renewal, or in other words personal growth. As nature renews itself every year, we take it as our example and use it as a guide for the name of our group. Since practicing democracy is Rooyesh's most important goal, our group has established certain rules affiliated on the opinions of ALL group members, we are always open to new suggestions, comments and feedback. We are not here to be judgmental in anyway, and there is no wrong or right among us. We invite professional speakers to talk about certain subjects at given times, but every one is welcomed to bring interesting ideas to our discussions. So, to respect the freedom of speech and opinion, every one has the right to have her/his articles, pictures and movies (with the name of the source) on our site http://www.rooyeshgroup.blogspot.com/ which does not necessarily show the ideas of Rooyesh.
We invite every one to join our group.
Our meetings are free and held every other Friday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm in room #203 at Capilano Mall, North Vancouver.
Rooyesh does not belonging to any political party or religious group.
