Persian New Year celebration
The Cupertino Library is hosting a celebration of Persian New Year, or Nowruz, on March 16, 7-8 p.m. The event features traditional spring dances, including circle dances, and attendees can learn about the cultural significance behind these movements and their connection to renewal and community.
The program also explores the symbolism of Nowruz traditions, including the meaning of the holiday and the traditional seven‑symbol spread.
This program is part of Santa Clara County Library District’s celebration of Silicon Valley Reads.
Electing to help
The League of Women Voters of Cupertino-Sunnyvale is looking for volunteers to help with the June 2 primary election in June and the Nov. 3 general election.
Volunteers can act as:
- Drop box couriers, picking up ballots from an assigned drop box and transporting them to the Registrar of Voters office in San Jose;
- Vote center couriers, picking up ballots from vote centers in Sunnyvale or Cupertino and transporting them to the Registrar of Voters office; or
- Coordinators for a Logistics and Supplies Center at the Registrar of Voters office, sending out couriers to deliver supplies to vote centers.
Volunteers must be age 16 or older. They’re not required to be residents of Santa Clara County or be a registered voter. Teams of two are required for all the jobs, and training is required. The league’s group training will be at 2 p.m. on May 5, 6 or 7, depending on volunteers’ preference.
