Please do not forget about the Ice-In-Heaven's BBQ taking place on Saturday, Oct. 2, 2004. This event was initiated by Hesaam Aslani, Stanford's Ph.d. candidate, and organized by a group of Stanford students and alumni, Iran Runners & Walkers, and respectable members of Iranian-American community in Bay Area. The purpose of this event is to bridge the gap and foster a new level of friendship between Iranians that have been in the States for more than 10 yrs. and those that have recently arrived.

The BBQ starts at 11:00 am with live music, games and fun for the entire family. In addition, we will have a variety of Persian finger food and BBQ-style grills. So, bring down friends and family for a day of fun at the park.
