Invitation to Armenian Cultural Garden Evening of Culture and Fund raising

Invitation to the Armenian Cultural Event and Fund Raiser

Join the Cleveland Cultural Garden Federation as we celebrate the Armenian Cultural Garden’s dedication, naturalization of immigrants, and nationality song, dance and cuisine.

Sunday, September 19th, 2010

Most of the infrastructure work on the new Armenian Cultural Garden has been completed.  See photos below demonstrating as much.  Their flag pole, flag and Garden sign have also been installed.  Landscaping will now go forward, however, due to the hot weather and lack of a water outlet in the Garden the landscaping will be “basic” at best, for now.

The Garden’s dedication will be the kickoff event for One World Day on September 19th, Sunday, at 1 PM.
