Chapter chairwoman Nartoohi Abrimian addressed the audience and welcomed the 240 guests in attendance, including clergy and ARS Central and Regional representatives. She highlighted the chapter’s 112-year existence and noted its members’ hard work over the years to help make a difference in their local communities and in the homeland. Over the past three years, Abrimian noted her chapter’s tireless efforts throughout the pandemic, raising funds for Lebanon, Artsakh, Syria, Armenia and local initiatives. The members of the ARS “Leola Sassouni” chapter have followed in the footsteps of the hero for whom their chapter is named.
