Z - STAR 

Hi Everybody!

Welcome to the first segment of Z-STAR!!  What is a Z-STAR?  Well, it’s more like who is a Z-STAR.  Every month, I will write an article about a Zoroastrian youth who possesses exceptional qualities or who has accomplished notable achievements.  I know that there are thousands of Z-Youth who fall into this category….however, not everybody knows about them.  This is where you and I come in.

 I’m going to ask each and every one of you to nominate a Z-Youth to be a Z-STAR.  Upon receiving your nomination, I will contact your sponsor and interview him/her. Out of all the entries, one Z-Youth will be picked for the Z-STAR recognition for that month. All other entries will be given honorable mention, and/or be considered for future Z-STAR recognitions.

This is a great way to motivate and encourage other members of our youth to go that extra mile and accomplish great deeds.  After all, our religion is based on Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds.

Outlined below is the procedure to nominate a Z-STAR.

Email me at Fereshteh@CaliforniaZoroastrianCenter.org or fereshteh@nexgate.net with the following information:

1. Your name
2. The name of your Z-STAR sponsor
3. Your contact information: phone number, email, etc…
4. The Z-STAR sponsor contact information: phone number, email, etc…
5. And most importantly, a brief reason why you feel your Z-Youth sponsor should be a Z-STAR
6. All entries must be submitted by the 15^th of each month in order to qualify for that month’s Z-STAR segment.
