100 km Tribute Kicks Off
Glendale, CA - A wine and cheese reception, slated for October 19,
marks the start of fundraising associated with the 100 km Tribute
honoring Armenian Genocide martyrs.
Each participant in the 100km walk or bicycle ride will gather
sponsors, much like any walkathon. But, organizers are cognizant of
the fact that not everyone can spare four days for walking or a full
day of riding over Thanksgiving weekend to honor their lost relatives.
This reception offers people with time constraints a different way to
contribute to an important Genocide centennial event.
Anahid and Roupen Harmadayan have opened their home for this reception
on Sunday, October 19 at 4:00 pm. Anahid's heartfelt observation that
`hosting the Kickoff Wine and Cheese event for the 100 km tribute walk
and ride is the least we could do to honor our lost relatives,'
conveys the profound seriousness marking the organizers approach.
Anyone interested in joining this exciting project through the
reception should RSVP to Anahid (818/425-1325) or Roupen
(818/425-0378), or via [email protected].
Already, support is coming in for the reception. Greg Kurdoglanyan is
contributing the wine, Euro Caffé-desserts, Koko Artin-fruits, Akel's
Jewelry-appetizers, and an anonymous donor=80'the cheese.
`We're humbled by the outpouring of assistance we're getting so soon
after starting our efforts,' observed Roupen. `Anahid and I are
looking forward to seeing many of our old friends and meeting new
people at the kickoff reception.'
