    DETROIT, Mich.-On Oct. 21, the Armenian Community Center of Greater
    Detroit (ACC) held a land blessing ceremony in Novi Michigan. The
    ACC had acquired this 10-acre land in December. The newly acquired
    property will be the future home of the new Armenian Community Center.

    A preliminary conceptual plan was also distributed to the attendees.

    An estimated 250 people were present at the event.

    Archbishop Oshagan Choloyan, Prelate of the Eastern Prelacy, presided
    over the land blessing services. Angele Manoogian represented the ARF
    Central Committee. The guest speaker for the event was Sen. Debbie
    Stabenow (D-Mich.). Senator Stabenow, a strong supporter of the
    Armenian Genocide Resolution bill, talked about the contributions
    Armenians have made in Metro Detroit and all across the world.

    "I was honored to join church leaders and members of our Armenian
    American community for this land blessing ceremony," Stabenow said.

    "Novi will be a wonderful new home for the community center's important
    educational and cultural events that are part of Michigan's rich and
    diverse cultural heritage."
