Thank you Meri <3 by Lori Horhor https://padlet.com/secretary101/sx418wiyfhbsx1ce Thank you for everything! We will miss you so much. en-us 2022-06-25 22:38:29 UTC 2022-06-28 19:32:48 UTC hello@padlet.com We love you Meri! secretary101 https://padlet.com/secretary101/sx418wiyfhbsx1ce/wish/2230453095 Hi Meri! I am so extremely grateful for your passion and dedication to the children of rural Armenia and for your decision to make change through HRI. We are so proud of you for working with David to open a brand new chapter of HRI at CSUN, and for the incredible growth we've seen in the chapter's love for our mission. You have been an invaluable member of our team, and I am personally very happy to have had the opportunity to work with you over the past two years. I will never forget the sheer enthusiasm and drive you displayed when I first met you in-person in the parking lot of the gym (pictured above) when we first took on the incredibly ambitious task of sorting, quality-checking, weighing, and packing the thousands of backpacks that we know brought some joy and comfort to so many children. Although I wish we could have you with us for a bit longer, I am beyond delighted to know that your heart remains with HRI's mission, and I know we'll continue to feel your impact.

THANK YOU!

With love and gratitude,
Lori <3]]> 2022-06-25 23:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/secretary101/sx418wiyfhbsx1ce/wish/2230453095 Thank you! https://padlet.com/secretary101/sx418wiyfhbsx1ce/wish/2230471333 Meri, 
Thank you so much for all your support during my time in the board! Any time I asked for help, you were sure to be there. And though the tablet applications (and I) may have driven you insane till its completion, thank you so much for persisting and helping us out! I hope that I'll be able to meet you someday in person, but until then, good luck on everything!!

From that first backpack drive till now, we’ve been partners in crime and I am so thankful to have started CSUN’s chapter with you. Your passion for this organization became my motivation to help you bring it to life, and you were a phenomenal president and remain a phenomenal Co-Founder. Your incredibly creative event ideas and fiery spirit made the organization what it is today, and again, I’m so thankful that I got to be on that ride with you. Besides being my co-founder, thank you for being a great friend. Always wishing you the best in every chapter of your life. Love you aziz jan, thank you for everything.

It’s been such a pleasure getting to work alongside you and getting to know you! Your drive and passion for helping Armenia and Armenian youth is inspiring, and we loved the energy you brought into chapter meetings and events. We also really enjoyed the collaboration you brought into the chapters; the beach day last May and the spelling bee were among our favorites. May this new chapter of your life be bright, happy, and filled with love. We wish you the best of luck! Keep in touch 💖

Love,

Lilia and Alex
