Invitation
An Evening in Celebration of Frida Kahlo with Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi
@
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Frida Kahlo once said she had been hit by two major things in her life: At 15 by Diego Rivera that left her with an everlasting passion for him, and at 18 by a train that left her with an everlasting longing to bear a child. Her art thus manifested both the passion and the longing at the same time.
Frida’s work will be on exhibit this summer at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). San Francisco made Frida famous by exhibiting her art and paying homage to her artistic talent.
Please join Ross on the evening of June 19th at the Museum Café to taste Diego’s favorite meal Frida used to cook, sip on Frida’s favorite wine and converse about Art, politics and everything else under the elegant SFMOA’s tall ceilings.
We will then visit the exhibit for a GUIDED intimate look at Frida’s hauntingly evocative paintings, her personal photo albums, and her revolutionary life…

1- Morteza gave a short report on Darius Shahinfar fund raising in Los Gatos. Darius Shahinfar is running for congress in upstate New York. He is a Democrat and he is in a tight primary race. The primary Election in New York will be held in September. Darius Shahinfar was here try to raise money for his campaign. Morteza and Mehdi attended his fundraising. His web site is: www.dariusforcongress.com. Hopefully we can help him by doing phone banking from California.
2- Discussion about Presidential primary was a hot topic. Everyone agreed that Obama will be the Democratic candidate for President and June 3rd will finalize that. ( and it did )
3- John from Impeach Bush Coalition gave us a short report on what is going on. Why it has not happen!! Who has been stopping it!! What can BAIAD members do. His presentation was very informative.
4- Susan Manteghi spoke about the JJ diner at Fremont Hotel, in San Jose. BAIAD had a table this year.
5- Mehrdad brought up the idea of organizing an event in August or September to kick off getting involve with the Obama Campaign and other local candidates. The main idea is to get Iranian-Americans involve in political campaign. Given the popularity of Obama in the Iranian community we think this should be the golden opportunity to have Iranian-American involve in a political campaign.
