YETTEM CHURCH THANKS DINNER PATRONS

Visalia Times-Delta
Nov 30 2009
CA

Thumbs up to those who supported the St. Mary Armenian Church of
Yettem’s dinner at the Visalia Veterans Memorial Hall, advertised as
the "Armenian Shish-Kebab Luncheon."

The turnout of people from Visalia and the surrounding communities
was outstanding. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all
those who supported the Yettem church fundraiser.

This was our first effort to bring back the taste of Richard Hagopian’s
cooking. This success will guarantee the return of this event next
year.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
