Cafe Lily is celebrating the Iranian New Year, Norouz, at the Edgemoore St. Club House on March 22.
Tradition dates Norouz as far back as 15,000 years ago, before the end of the last ice age. The mythical Persian King Jamshid symbolized the transition of the Indo-Iranians from animal hunting to animal husbandry and a more settled life in human history.
There will be a buffet with traditional Persian food and desserts and writer Zohreh Ghahremani will be present. Ghahremani writes in both Farsi and English and her articles and short stories have appeared in US and ethnic magazines. Her work has won several awards, including the 2005 California Stories and first prize at SBWC for best fiction 2004.
