On Sun., Sept. 20, the second annual “Afternoon at the Park for Families & Friends” is being held from 2-4 p.m. Festivities include dancing and enjoying the All-Star Armenian Ensemble, featuring Greg Krikorian (oud/vocals), George Righellis (guitar/vocals), and Dr. Harry Papazian (dumbeg); dance instruction with Apo Ashjian, the director and founder of the Sayat Nova Dance Company of Boston; “The Find Someone” Game for kids who may team up with an adult to play for a chance to win a Boston Duck Tour; and Boston’s iconic Boston ice cream treat, Hoodsies. The event, an initiative of the Friends of Armenian Heritage Park, is co-chaired by Gladys Partamian and Katrina Menzigian Glorikian.
The Armenian Heritage Park
During the coming months, several events are taking place at Armenian Heritage Park on Boston’s Greenway. Continuing are the monthly Labyrinth Walks in collaboration with the Labyrinth Society of New England and the Greenway Conservancy held on the first Wednesday of the month, from May to October, at 12:30 p.m., as well as the Public Art tours that include the park’s Abstract Sculpture and Labyrinth.
The park and its public programs are the result of the commitment and generosity of so many. Now nearing the end of its final phase, the Campaign for Armenian Heritage Park is raising the necessary funds to build the endowment so that the park is impeccably cared for and maintained year round in perpetuity. To date, close to 75 percent of the goal has been raised. Consider making your gift today so that you will be an important part of helping to reach this goal.
A few naming opportunities at the park remain for gifts of $50,000 and above. For more information or to arrange a visit, call James Kalustian (781-643-7758), Charles Guleserian (617-484-6100), Haig Deranian (617-489-9465), Walter Nahabedian (781-891-7249), Astor Guzelian (781-326-5764), George Elanjian (781-888-2227), or Barbara Tellalian (617-803-8785).
