Less than two years ago, the Merrimack Valley lost a very very dear friend. Tom Vartabedian was known to all for his humor, his love of life, his friendship, but most of all, his love of his Armenian heritage.  Tom wrote and published a book in 2016 entitled:     

            THE ARMENIANS of the MERRIMACK VALLEY. 

  
There were two printings of the book which, except for 24 remaining copies, sold out in a very short period of time.  It is filled with pictures and stories from within the 'Valley', dating from the time of the immigrants settling here after World War I and the Genocide.  You would be hard pressed to get through this book without seeing pictures of your relatives or friends that your family has known. The book blends Tom's writing artistry with the love of his culture.

    Tom himself entrusted the remaining copies to the Armenian Friends of America asking only that we donate the proceeds equally amongst the four Armenian Churches.  

    Today, they are being made available on a first come first serve basis until they are sold out. It is an amazing adventure to sit with family and look through these pages.  Don't miss out!

    Copies are just $25.00 each.  Please contact John Arzigian for your family's copy.  

Sincerely,

John Arzigian, Chairman
