On March 21, 2009, the Bahais of Statesboro and their guests celebrated Naw Ruz, the Bahai New Year, at the China Super Buffet. There were 37 adults and 8 children representing diverse cultural backgrounds including Mexican, Peruvian, Brazilian, Caribbean, Chinese, Indian, African, African American, and European American. We extend a special thanks to our guest singers and musicians: Rosa San Juan, Laura Gonzales, Erica Angeles, Hilda Gonzales, Maria Rea, and their supporting friends. For Bahais around the world, the Naw Ruz festival is a joyous time of celebration and hospitality. Coinciding with the first day of spring, it signifies spiritual renewal: "O friends! It behoveth you to refresh and revive your souls through the gracious favors which in this Divine, this soul-stirring Springtime are being showered upon you." Bahá'u'lláh
