    Participants in this year's Sts. Vartanantz Day observance at New York's St.

    The day's events have been organized under the auspices of the Eastern

    Beginning at 6:00 p.m., a Festal Divine Liturgy will be celebrated in the

    of Maestro Khoren Mekanejian, will sing the sacred music.

    The Vartanantz activities will continue at 7:30 p.m., with dinner in Haik
    and Alice Kavookjian Auditorium of the Diocesan complex. This will be
    followed by a program featuring remarks and a special perfor-mance.

    His Excellency Ambassador Garen Nazarian, Armenia's Permanent Representative
    to the United Nations, will be the main speaker for the event. Amb.
    Nazarian began his assignment as Armenia's UN representative last summer, as
    the latest post in his long and wide-ranging diplomatic career.

    The evening will also feature a special musical program by the St. Gregory
    the Illuminator Armenian School, of Brooklyn, N.Y.

    The donation for the Thursday, February 11, Vartanantz dinner and program is
