A New Start

After a longer time of pause in our web blog activities, now we come back.

Rooyesh Cultural Society's board of directors had a meeting in August 20,2009 and everyone agreed to get Rooyesh a new fresh start from this Fall.

We will have a month of summer break until September 20 of 2009, while we will prepare for a new type of cultural programs with variety and fun involved.

We call our next workshop as “peace and Love” event, as we continue celebrate the international peace day(September 21) as every year. We will add more love to our event as we all need hope, connection, and joy. Details about this event will be announced by media ahead of time.

We want to admit that since our celebration for Rooyesh in April, we have been keeping low in order to make some fundamental changes in our programs.

One significant event that impacted our programs was the Iran situation since June 12, 2009. The tragic events in our home country truly shocked us and left us paralyzed. This was a major reason for no update on our blog while our every other Friday meetings have occurred, although maybe with some lower number of people attending.

Now gladly we will announce that from September 2009, we will have entertainment, poetry, and music involved in our twice in a month seminars while we will use a wide range of guest speakers in areas of literature, art, and philosophy.

We look forward for all suggestions, feedback, and contacts. We are hoping to get new members and fund raise during this fall.
