Connecting Clayton

02/13/2023

Dear Family and Friends,

Less than a month ago, we have lost our beloved daughter Anoush to a rare auto-immune system disease. On February 17th, she would have turned twenty.
To celebrate Anoush’s life (Feb. 17, 2003 - Jan. 15, 2023), we will gather on
Sunday Feb. 19, 2023, 2:00pm - 5:00 pm (eastern time) at the Persian Cultural Center of Atlanta (Kanoon) located at 3146 Reps Miller Rd NW, Norcross, GA 30071.

You can join us in-person or online (For those joining online: Zoom Meeting ID: 97262242317, Password: anoush). We request that nobody brings flowers or other gifts. If you are inclined to do so, please consider donating to a cause dear to Anoush’s heart which was providing education for the students in need. A scholarship with this purpose and in her name and memory is being established at Clayton State University. The information will be provided in a future email. If you would like to share pictures, videos, music, your thoughts, or other memories of Anoush with us, please send them to [email protected] created for this purpose.

In Sadness,
Shabnam & Reza

We are hoping to be able to contact this group of the Leadership Clayton graduates and help them improve their website.

ONEClayton Community Resource Guide is a comprehensive listing of programs and services available to the Clayton County community. This website helps families identify and access resources, programs, and services.
