It's official . . . the release of Bachik!

What a wonderful time at the official book release event for Bachik, the Birthday Kiss. Thank you so much, Edgar Hagopian and Pam, for making the event such a success. And to Bob and Gayaneh Kachadourian for connecting all the dots to bring everyone together.

It was a delight to share a bit of the history and purpose of Bachik, as well as read the book for the children and adults present. We had a raffle and gave away a Bachik t-shirt and magnets, enjoyed some great refreshments and, as my family calls it, hopla music!

Fr. Diran Papazian of St. John's Armenian Church, assisted by David Terzibashian, performed a traditional Armenian blessing. Stacks of autographed copies left in the hands of smiling people, and that made me very happy, too. Pictured with me are Edgar Hagopian and Dr. Robert Kachadourian.
