Dear ACEC Friends and Supporters, As we wrap up 2024, we would like to wish our community members a blessed and joyful Christmas and a very Happy and Healthy New Year. While we celebrate this holy season of hope and renewal, we reflect on the challenges our nation has faced as of late, many of which remain. The pain of displacement and the ongoing struggle and trials of our people in the Homeland and the Diaspora remind us of the resilience and strength that define our collective spirit. We hope for brighter days for our nation and we will do our best to contribute in that.  Year 2025 marks a special milestone for the ACEC, who will turn 45! For all these years, despite many challenges, the Armenian Cultural and Educational Center continued to serve as a community hub and physical home to several key Armenian organizations that are committed to preserving and promoting Armenian culture and heritage and are integral to ACEC’s programming and community outreach. These organizations include: a) The Armenian Educational and Cultural Society (Hamazkayin), b) The Armenian Relief Society (ARS) Watertown Leola Sasouni and Cambridge Shushi chapters, and the ARS Social Services, c) The Armenian Youth Federation (AYF), d) The Armenian General Athletic Union and Scouts (Homenetmen), e) The Hairenik Association Inc., and f) St. Stephen’s Armenian Apostolic Church’s educational programs; the St. Stephen’s Armenian Elementary School and St. Stephen’s Saturday school. By housing these groups, ACEC plays a central role in maintaining and promoting Armenian identity within the Greater Boston community. The ACEC also hosts activities and events of other non-affiliated Armenian and non-Armenian professional and community organizations. May we begin the New Year with renewed spirits and sense of commitment to serving selflessly, humbly, and lovingly. There is always a need and an opportunity to better serve our mission and community despite the many challenges. Your support and kindness continue to be at the heart of everything we’ve accomplished for 45 years and our future plans, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of the Armenian Cultural and Educational Center (ACEC) family. Please consider contributing to the ACEC during this holiday season. With your tax deductible donation, you will help ensure that ACEC can continue to serve these vital community organizations and enhance its ability to meet the growing needs of the Greater Boston communities. Wishing you and your loved ones a season filled with warmth, love, and peace! With heartfelt gratitude, Executive Committee of ACEC Board of Trustees
