  • The Persian-American community has grown and expanded over the last ten years, and we hope to continue its growth until an umbrella organization, including all individuals and cultural groups under a strong and inclusive is established in the metropolitan areas of the capital of USA. This is our dream cultural center for the large Iranian community in the region, and we may call it symbolically the " SIMOURGH CULTURAL CENTER" or " فرهنگسرای سیمرغ "
