The first event of St. Stepanos Family Club took place on Saturday, June 4 at St. Stepanos Church Hovnanian Hall. It was a very successful event as some sixty of our parishioners attend and enjoyed Der Hayr’s specialty, chicken kebob plus many side dishes and hors d’oeuvres (mezzas), following which a Tavlou tournament was organized by Levon Toutikian.

The winner of the tournament was Yurik Hovsepyan. Meanwhile many of the ladies gathered around a second table and played Dominos, led by Donna Toutikian. At a third table the other ladies and some men gathered around a Bingo table and great fun playing the game. All in all everyone got involved with some games and had a wonderful evening. With the success of the first meeting and to be sure that the club would continue to exist Der Hayr, the initiator of the club, set up the dates for the next two months with the concurrence of the attendees.

Accordingly, the next two meetings of the Family Club will be on July 9 and October 22, 2016.
