The Armenian National Committee (ANC) of Richmond, Va., and the
Armenian Relief Society (ARS) Richmond "Hooys" Chapter sponsored
a Basturma and Eggs Buffet on New Year's Day at St. James Armenian
Church's social hall to raise money for the Syrian Armenian Relief
Fund.
More than 70 people attended and enjoyed a buffet of made-to-order
basturma and eggs, Armenian salads, fruit, and other delicacies. A
tavloo tournament and silent auction rounded out the event, which
lasted until 3 p.m. The proceeds collected-$2,270-will be mailed to
the Syrian Armenian Relief Fund.
"What a great day for us, and a very special way to launch the New
Year," said Sona Kerneklian Pomfret, the head of the "Hooys" Chapter.
"What better way to welcome 2013 by helping our fellow brothers and
sisters in Syria?" asked Stella Bandazian, the treasurer of "Hooys."
The ANC and ARS of Richmond will continue to hold fundraising events
throughout the year for the Syrian Armenian Relief Fund.
