ARS Holds ‘Sunday Funday’ at Wedgwood Country Club

Toufayan Bakery, Corporate Sponsor of Fundraising Event

Armenians from northern New Jersey, Michigan, and Philadelphia converged on the Wedgwood Country Club in Turnersville, N.J., for the first ARS Sunday Funday event

On a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning of Memorial Day Weekend, a small band of Armenians from northern New Jersey, Michigan, and Philadelphia converged on the Wedgwood Country Club in Turnersville, N.J., for the first Armenian Relief Society (ARS) Sunday Funday event. After a delicious champagne breakfast buffet, the golfers readied themselves to tee off, and the bingo players settled in for some serious bingo games. While the golfers tended to their 18 holes, the bingo players took a walk, visited the halfway house for a bite to eat, took part in a golf lesson, and played more bingo. When the golfers returned late afternoon, all enjoyed a scrumptious supper buffet, peppered with familiar Mediterranean flavors from the Philadelphia area. Awards and prizes were provided and everyone went home happy.

The ARS Eastern USA thanks the event sponsors, including Toufayan Bakery of New Jersey, as well as the 20 tee sponsors from different regions of the United States who sponsored tee holes named after the historic Armenian villages of their ancestors. A special thanks also to Mark Santerian, owner of the Wedgwood Country Club, for his hospitality.

The event was held to benefit the Armenian Relief Society CE Endowment Fund, which funds programs and projects worldwide.
