    MONTEBELLO COMMUNITY TO DONATE FIRE TRUCK TO KARABAKH

    A fire truck, which the Montebello Fire Department has donated to
    the City of Stepanakert

    MONTEBELLO--The Armenian Revolutionary Federation "Dro" Chapter will
    be hosting their annual Banquet on Saturday, March 22. The Banquet
    will be held at the Montebello Armenian Center and will feature a
    performance by Karnig Sarkissian.

    Chairman of the ARF Dro Chapter, Levon Kirakosian, stated, "We
    would like to invite our community members to join the Dro Gomideh
    in celebrating the Montebello Armenian community and taking part in
    our upcoming initiative. We look forward to welcoming our supporters
    to the Montebello Armenian Center on March 22nd."

    Since 2005, the city of Montebello has established a sister city
    association with Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno Karabakh. The city
    and its institutions have been committed to creating and strengthening
    a partnership between the communities. In recognizing their role as
    a sister city to Stepanakert, the Montebello Fire Department donated
    a fire truck, valued at $150,000, that is to be sent to Nagorno
    Karabakh. This generous donation is a testament to the commitment that
    the city of Montebello has invested into this municipal partnership
    and its efforts to encourage community development in Stepanakert.

    Due to the size and nature of the gift, the transport of the fire
    truck to Stepanakert requires greater resources. The truck will need
    to be shipped to Poti, Georgia, on a cargo ship, from where it will
    be driven to Stepanakert by the city's fire department. Thus, the Dro
    Gomideh is pleased to allocate the proceeds from this year's banquet
    to the transport of this fire truck for the use of the community
    in Stepanakert.

    Individuals interested in attending are encouraged to contact
    Sarkis Nourian for more information or contact the Gomideh at
    [email protected]. The Gomideh looks forward to welcoming all to
    the Montebello Armenian Center on March 22, 2013.
