Dear colleagues and friends,<\/p>\n

I hope you and your family had a healthy, happy and prosperous year and enjoyed our Persian Holidays.<\/p>\n

Now our Annual meeting is coming up in a week or so. During the past couple of years due to the COVID and other issues we lost the track of the direction of\u00a0 SIPNA . That lead to a series of misunderstandings and unfortunate mishaps. This year we have a wonderful program to help us to regroup and grow ;<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. On Monday May 22nd at 6 PM<\/strong> we will gather for an Educational Meeting at,
    \nAmerican Bites Restaurant\u00a0 ( Maykadeh )<\/strong>
    \n478 Green Street, San Francisco<\/strong>
    \nTel , 415-834-5454<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. On Tuesday May 23rd ,noon to 5<\/strong> we will have SIPNA\u2019s ANNUAL ASSEMBLY at
    \nRooms 23 and 24, 4 th floor of Hilton at Union Square, San Francisco.<\/strong>
    \n12 to 2 PM lunch and 2 to 5 our\u00a0 general assembly.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    We will review our accomplishments and the need for ADDENDUM\u00a0 to our BYLAW of 1986 to address our current needs for a democratic and progressive\u00a0 society.<\/p>\n

    I request the presence of all the Licensed Psychiatrists in the North America to join and vote. Others are welcomed to join the discussions.<\/p>\n
