    Celebrating What Unites Us! series celebrates the immigrant experience, building community and cross-cultural understanding, and promoting healthy and active living. The monthly series was launched two years ago, an exciting collaboration of Age-Friendly Boston, The KITCHEN at Boston Public Market and Friends of Armenian Heritage Park. Each month highlighted the cultural heritage of many residents of the City of Boston and beyond. All first met at Armenian Heritage Park on The Greenway where a community leader shared his/her immigrant experience. Many walked the Labyrinth. Then walked to The KITCHEN at the Boston Public Market where a chef prepared a signature dish for all to enjoy for lunch and conversation, supported by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.
