Ladies Society Chair, Paula Boghosian, organized a fun day for ladies from St. John’s Ladies Society on Tues. Aug. 30.  Of course, it started off with curbside coffee and choreg before we hit the road!  Things got even better when Paula spilled some coffee and Hrantouhi announced that in Armenian tradition that meant, “Good Luck!”

The proverb proved true as our van got us there and back without traffic or incident. Before we knew it, we were all sitting on stools sipping wine and tasting chocolate at Farrari-Carano Tasting Bar and Boutique in downtown Healdsburg.

This event gave our Sunday School families a chance to enjoy a casual and relaxing day by the pool to bond with their families.  Even adorable baby Maneh had some fun splish-splashing in the pool surrounded by the love and care of our Sunday school teens.
