Our Mission

Our association’s main objective is preserving the linguistic and cultural heritage of our Romanian community in New England. We hope to be able to pass our traditions to the next generations just the way we received them from our parents and grandparents. For this purpose, we organize and promote a wide range of social, cultural, educational, and professional events.

Subscribe here to our mailing list, which includes information about events and activities organized not just by AR-NE, but by other groups in the Romanian-American community in New England.

The concept behind AR-NE was discussed for the first time in December 2009. The activities started to take place at the beginning of 2010, under the aegis of Boston Romanian Professionals (BRP), an entity not officially registered. The evolution of BRP, as a name and as a type of organization, culminated in the registration of AR-NE on October 13, 2010. Please visit Our History for more details.

AR-NE is made up of volunteers who work together to coordinate activities and programs.

“E lung pământul, ba e lat,
Dar ca Săgeată de bogat
Nici astăzi domn pe lume nu-i,
Şi-avea o fată, – fata lui –
Icoană-ntr-un altar s-o pui
La închinat.”
