    DETROIT ARS SENDS $75,000 SHIPMENT TO KARABAGH

    Armenian Weekly
    July 31, 2012

    On Wed., April 18, members of the five Detroit ARS sister chapters
    proudly loaded a United Armenia Fund container with a long-awaited
    shipment bound for the Kashatagh region of the Nagorno-Karabagh
    Republic (NKR). The 170-box shipment, valued at $75,000 and containing
    winter apparel, was the culmination of a year's worth of hard work
    and dedication by the ARS.

    Detroit ARS Sends $75,000 Shipment to Karabagh The endeavor was
    spearheaded by the "Maro" Chapter under the guidance of Armen
    Topouzian. The simple efforts of this one chapter quickly blossomed
    into a regional effort that came to include all of the Detroit ARS
    sister chapters and the Detroit community at large, as well as the
    Chicago community.

    ARS members collected gently used and new winter coats, blankets,
    and other winter apparel, along with monetary donations that were
    used to purchase new apparel. Mr. and Mrs. Bedros and Patricia Avedian
    graciously donated their facility for packing and storage. Additional
    storage space was kindly given by the Basmajian family.

    The ARS Eastern USA and Detroit sister chapters-"Maro," "Sybille,"
    "Zabel," "Shakeh," and "Tzolig"-thank those who made monetary donations
    and donated winter apparel. Through the generosity of the ARS, the
    Detroit community, and its neighboring communities, this shipment
    will be dispersed to those in need and will help Armenian families
    in Nagorno-Karabagh stay warm and endure many winters to come.
