Dear John,
Earlier this year, NIAC Chicago and the entire NIAC family welcomed the summer solstice with a day of poetry and lively discussion. Since then, thanks to your generosity and support, our community has achieved many big wins.
To round out 2020 on a bright note, on Sunday, December 20 at 7pm CT, NIAC Chicago welcomes our entire NIAC family from across the country to "gather" for a virtual Yalda [[link removed]] , the ancient Winter Solstice celebration of Iranian culture. Yalda will be a little different this year with a global pandemic, so please join us to continue celebrating this night of music, poetry, and pomegranates with loved ones—and learn how to make a special Yalda cocktail and a Yalda dinner recipe. We will also discuss the meaning and cross-cultural roots of Yalda with Lake Forest College's Professor Ahmad Sadri.
