The inauguration of the FEZANA Administrative office on August 31, 2008 marks a significant milestone in the history of FEZANA. It represents a step forward in the vision to establish a strong Zarathushti infrastructure in North America. The office will facilitate the day-to-day operation of FEZANA, coordinate communications to/from Member Associations and Corresponding Members, and lend support to the FEZANA Executive Board and Committees.
A group of 175 guests were in attendance for the Office Inauguration. Guests were greeted at the door by Nahid Dashtaki, Assistant Secretary, and Zenobia Damania, Office Administrator. The festivities were preceded by a Prayer invoking Divine Blessings for our Progress, Prosperity and Perpetuation led by Dastur Dr. Kersey Antia, High Priest of Chicago, with seven Mobed Sahebs. Next, the FEZANA leaders who were present were introduced. It was a great honor to have all five past Presidents – including Rustom Kevala, under whose leadership this office was established – and current President, Bomi Patel, in attendance. After inspirational remarks from the FEZANA presidents, Rustom Kevala and Bomi Patel performed the Ribbon Cutting and the office was officially inaugurated. Afterwards, to top off the celebration, the ZAC Choir accompanied by Maestro Adi Tamboli sang “Mubark, Mubark, Mubark.” A scrumptious buffet lunch followed.

-Zenobia Damania,
FEZANA Office Administratior
