    100 km Tribute to Benefit RAA, Practice Hike Start

    Glendale, CA - Organizers announced that Research on Armenian
    Architecture's (RAA) new, 36-volume series will receive the funds
    raised by the 100km Walk/Ride. The first book sponsored will cover
    the region of Mogs.

    If larger sums are raised, then the Khnoos and Kghee volumes will be
    funded. Each book costs approximately $30,000 to prepare and publish.

    "This series of books will present the photographs, documentation, and
    research compiled over 41 years of work," said Jora Manoucherian,
    U.S. president of RAA. "We will cover every region of Armenia,
    whether or not currently under Armenian governance, to fully present
    the richness of our architectural heritage. Each book will be
    published separately in Armenian, English, and Russian."

    Details are available on RAA's website,
    http://www.raa-am.com/36_hator/36%20hator_En.pdf.

    The Tribute involves participants walking, bicycling, or motorcycling
    100km on Thanksgiving weekend to honor those who perished in the
    Genocide. Participants will raise funds through sponsorships.

    To prepare for the walking portion, Armenian Hikers Association (AHA)
    is organizing a hike each Sunday on the various legs of the journey.
    If you would like to join these hikes, details are available on the
    AHA Facebook page.
