Excited to share we now have 2 handicap parking spaces at the Baha'i Center!! One on each side of the entrance. Thank you to the Spiritual Assembly for this effort!!🙏💕

You need a disability plate or handicap placard clearly displayed in your vehicle to avoid risk of ticketing. $301 fine for parking in a handicap space illegally.

Hi everyone! Here’s an updated flyer for this year’s Race Unity Day Arts Festival, edited to emphasize a few details:

- it’s a brown bag event (we’ll be eating lunch on the lawn together) so bring something to eat :)
- ⁠the Assembly has generously provided funding for ASL interpretation at the event! We hope to continue to make events as accessible as possible for everyone in the coming years…
- ⁠we are still accepting art contributions for the indoor exhibit on or related to the theme of race unity. If interested in contributing, please reach out to Don Camp or Arman Rowshan.

Please look at the attached flyer for details.

Our local acting troupe is delighted to invite everyone to join us at the Baha’i Center immediately after the Twelfth Day of Ridván for a short play, “The Thoughts of Their Hearts” on Thursday, May 1st.

Massoud and Roya Mohadjeri who are hosting the holy day observation have graciously welcomed this presentation about how a home visit can turn out to fulfill any hopes we have for it.

The play will feature Irene Cassar, Jane McDay, John McDay, and Saman Yazdi. We hope you will join us!
