PROJECT SAVE TO CELEBRATE 30 YEARS
Belmont Citizen-Herald, MA
Sept 22 2005
The 30th Anniversary Celebration of Project SAVE Armenian Photograph
Archives will be held Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Newton Marriott Hotel.
The event will also mark the 60th birthday of Project SAVE's founder
and executive director, Ruth Thomasian. The community is invited
to attend.
Steve Kurkjian, investigative reporter for the Boston Globe, will
host this anniversary event, and attorney Tony Barsamian will be the
featured speaker. The evening will kick off with a cocktail reception
and photo exhibit at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner, silent auction,
and live music provided by the Al Shavarsh Bardezbanian Ensemble.
Project SAVE Armenian Photograph Archives strives to preserve
and promote Armenian heritage and culture through the collection,
preservation and dissemination of photographs. With over 25,000 images,
both vintage and contemporary, Project SAVE's collection has been
painstakingly documented by Thomasian and her staff.
Located in Watertown, and housed in the building that holds the
Armenian Library & Museum, Project SAVE's photos and documents ensure
that future generations will know of traditions, places and people
that vanished long ago.
Project Save is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that relies on
the generosity of its friends, both nationally and internationally,
and on grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council; the Thomas
A. Kooyumjian Family Foundation; the Souren Maroukian Trust,
Peter Karabashian, trustee; the Azadoutioun Foundation; and the
Armenian-American Veterans Organization Inc.
Invitations for the 30th Anniversary Celebration have been mailed,
or may be obtained by calling Project Save at 617-923-4542.
Individual tickets for the reception and dinner are $100. To reserve,
mail your check to Project SAVE Archives, P.O. Box 236, Watertown,
MA 02471. Sponsoring donations of $530 or more will be acknowledged
in the Program Book if received by Sept. 25. All donations are
gratefully accepted.
