EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Newtownabbey

NÁW-RÚZ PARTY

Carrickfergus Town Hall
Saturday 22 March 2008 at 7 pm

Admission is free – invitation cards available from Newtownabbey Assembly. There will be the usual mix of food and entertainment.
It is important to let Peter Black know if you are coming - and how many people you are bringing – as there is a limit to the numbers allowed in the hall, for fire insurance reasons. The Town Hall Caretaker will be there to count the guests– and he will strictly limit the numbers (220)! Don’t blame us if he won’t let you in!

Invitation cards will be printed soon and sent out to you- if you contact Peter and let him know how many you need.

The location of the conference is a public school in the Baltic city of Oulu. The premises are modern and practical thus providing excellent facilities.
