New England Committee Planning Spectacular Celebration of ATP Anniversary
-- Boston Harbor Venue Selected for Unique Event on November 8 --
WATERTOWN, MA--A dedicated group of volunteers is hard at work on the next
celebration of Armenia Tree Project's 20th birthday. A major event is
planned for Saturday, November 8 at the grand atrium of the John Joseph
Moakley Courthouse overlooking Boston Harbor.
The 20th anniversary fundraiser is being chaired by Nina Festekjian and
Nicole Babikian Hajjar, who are coordinating a team of more than two dozen
ambassadors for the event.
The first gathering was a festive outdoor gala at the Huntington Library and
Botanical Gardens in California in May, where ATP debuted a new promotional
video "Plant a Tree, Plant Hope." The event was attended by more than 200
friends and supporters of the organization, who were energized by an evening
of food, music, and remarks from community leaders.
"ATP's founder had great foresight when she started planting trees 20 years
ago during the difficult years of early independence," notes Managing
Director Tom Garabedian. "To celebrate this new milestone in our history,
Carolyn Mugar has asked us to organize something that captures the spirit
and personality of Armenia and ATP. This will not be a traditional banquet
by any means.our organization has a diverse constituency and we are bringing
a unique set of ideas to the table for this event."
"Moakley is a spectacular venue and our goal is to wow everyone and broaden
our reach in the diaspora and in Armenia," adds Garabedian. "We are
expecting guests from New England, California, and everywhere in between for
this event. More details will be available soon by mail and online, so we
hope everyone will 'save the date' and stay tuned for an event you will not
want to miss."
Since its inception in 1994, ATP has planted nearly 4.5 million trees,
established three nurseries and two environmental education centers, and has
greened villages, churches, parks, and open spaces throughout Armenia. In
the process, the organization has provided employment for hundreds of people
and provided vital resources to thousands of villagers throughout the
country.
