The article "A second arm,” on the Global Working Group (Parsiana, February 21-March 6, 2023), mentions that the Zoroastrian Association of Greater New York’s (ZAGNY) share of profits amounting to one million US dollars (Rs 8,28,73,500) will be used for the upkeep of their Darbe Mehr. This is incorrect.
ZAGNY’s share was 75% of USD 340,000, which works out to about USD 255,000 which goes to the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Fund. With the inflow of these funds from the Congress, the O&M Fund has crossed one million USD. This Fund has been set up for the upkeep of the Darbe Mehr. The capital will remain untouched and interest from it will go towards annual maintenance of the building. ARZAN SAM WADIA
