Armat Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 (edited) I got this e-mail today which should make every Armenian proud. Armenian team comes to Cleveland, thanks to donors' support http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_fullstory.asp?id=21235 This morning I had breakfast with at the Martessian's (my good friends from Providence's East Side who have an apartment here while visiting their daughter, Julia) After securing a taxi which took them to the Cathedral in Etchmiadzin (the Holy See of the Armenian Orthodox Church), I went to sing in the choir of the little (thirteenth century U-Haul size) church near my apartment. I just awoke from a nap and want to share something with you which will take place a few hours from now. Today I just received word that the information you are about to receive was passed to the President of the Republic of Armenia who has indicated that the nation will be planning a special event to honor the children of our nation who are now returning from world competitions in sports (six gold and silver at the World Olympic sanctioned International Children's Games) and chess (three of the four top winners in the all Europe championship). At 8:00 p.m. EST today you welcome to join us in spirit and imagine us, (I will send any number of photos you request), here in Armenia by reading the following emailed invitation sent several hours ago. DEAR FRIENDS in Armenia GOOD SUNDAY MORNING - IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE BEST PLACE IN ARMENIA TO WITNESS HISTORY WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS --- HERE IT IS!
