Thank You: Cambridge River Festival


Thank you to all our members who participated in the annual Cambridge River Festival on Saturday. This is NAAP-Boston's first time to participate in this festival along side the Center For Arabic Culture.

We would love to have this become an annual event that we can share with our members, and also showcase our culture to the broader Boston/Cambridge population to help with outreach. Please keep us in mind throughout the year if you have any extra items like arts, crafts, jewelry, or any other items from the Middle East. You can donate these items in good condition anytime; just send us an e-mail and we'll arrange a way to pick them up. (Please note we are only collecting items that we can carry, and not large pieces.)

So, if your planning a summer/winter garage sale, please think of donating your Middle Eastern nick nacks to NAAP or CAC.

Proceeds from the items sold at the next Cambridge River Festival will go against running the NAAP-Boston Chapter or as part of the fund raising efforts needed for the Center of Arabic Culture.

For any questions, or suggestions, please Contact: Farrah Haidar farrah.haidar@cacboston.org or Noreen noreen@naaponline.org
