Wisconsin to Commemorate Armenian Genocide



Our cheese-producing friends at Wisconsin just made my day.
On Tuesday, April 24, 2007, the Armenian National Committee of Wisconsin, State Representatives Mark Honadel, Jeff Stone and Robin Vos, and State Senators Mary Lazich, John Lehman, and Jeff Plale are hosting a reception and program to commemorate the 92nd Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

The event...designates April 24 of each year as "Wisconsin Day of Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide of 1915 to 1923" and to continue to educate and promote awareness of Armenia and Armenian issues, particularly the Armenian Genocide. The State Assembly adopted Assembly Resolution 42 (AR 42) on May 2, 2000 while the State Senate adopted Senate Resolution 14 on March 7, 2002, thereby reaffirming the Armenian Genocide as a fact of history.
From now on I'll only be buying cheese from Wisconsin. Oh, and Armenia!
