'''[[New Year]]''' is a holiday celebrated on [[January 1]] in many parts of the modern world. Other cultures recognize the holiday on other dates, such as the Vietnamese Tết Nguyên Đán and Chinese New Year. Jewish Rosh Hashanah and Islamic Eid al-Fitr celebrations have similar significance as the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. [[H. P. Blavatsky]] felt that New Year should be recognized on [[January 3]] or [[January 4]], close to the date of the Earth's perihelion.
'''[[L. W. Rogers]]''' is a name to remember this year, when we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the [[L. W. Rogers Building]]. Mr. Rogers served as president of the [[American Theosophical Society]] from 1920-1931, and was one of its most energetic and effective leaders. He was a journalist, editor, labor union leader, and lecturer who founded dozens of Theosophical lodges across North America. Thank you, L. W., for your vision and effort!
