^{New Book by Chuck "Garbo" Hajinian}

I have written this book of short stories and it came out two weeks ago. Sales have been strong and Calumet Publishing and I are quite pleased. I wrote a number of Armenian stories. Many are funny.

This one (Click here to read) is more somber.

I am getting it out to you to review and figure out who might be interested in this story and the book in the complete Diaspora and Armenia. I don't have all the contacts. Feel free to forward this email. The Society for Orphan Armenian Relief is using the profits from the book as a fundraiser.

Profits from the book sales will go to the Fallen Soldiers Fund for Soar. Over 5000 soldiers have died. We want to help those left behind. Other Charities can also benefit, just let me know how I can help. Can you get this story and the book info to your friends? It can be posted to your FB page. But first let me know if you like the story. How will the people of Armenia react to it? Perhaps you know literary societies in Armenia or world wide who might appreciate this and other stories.

Forward this Page Link to friends and relatives. perhaps they might be interested in the book or know groups who might be interested.

43 stories, get yourself a copy- you will enjoy it.

thank you, for helping me. Chuck "Garbo" Hajinian 262-352-4140

Message from Der Yeprem Kelegian: AYO! Safe Ride Program

Hundreds of disabled children in Armenia cannot get to their rehab facility. The "Safe Ride" project, which AYO! (a division of Fund for Armenian Relief) is doing, wants to change this in the Martuni region. It is a very difficult area to get around in and in many cases parents cannot get their children to (free) pediatric rehab because they cannot afford cab service and using the public (and crowded) mini-buses (marshutkas) is not possible for some children.

THUS, this fund raising is for the purpose of purchasing an accessible van to make sure 200 children can get to their therapy.
