    Glendale, CA - Over 90 community leaders and elected officials gathered at
    The Cove Thursday evening for a mixer hosted by the Armenian National
    Committee, Glendale Chapter. The event provided guests an opportunity to
    meet the new Executive Director, Alina Azizian, as well as the 2004-2005
    board members. Guests included State Senator Jack Scott, representatives
    from Congressman Adam Schiff's office and Assemblyman Dario Frommer's
    office, Mayor Bob Yousefian and Councilmembers Rafi Manoukian, Frank
    Quintero, and Dave Weaver. Other guests included: Glendale Unified School

    Sandra Fink, Armenian National Committee of America Western Region
    Executive Director Ardashes Kassakhian, Glendale Unified School District
    Board chairman Greg Krikorian and board members Chakib Sambar and Pam Ellis,
    Glendale Community College Board of Trustees members Ara Najarian and Anita
    Quinonez Gabrielian, and numerous commissioners from the various city
    commissions.

    `During the holiday season it's difficult to get so many busy people in the
    same room,' commented Azizian, `but we had a fantastic turnout. It was
    great to meet the people that help make this city so wonderful. We have a
    great coalition of community leaders working together to make this city even
    better, and I look forward to working with them.'

    Board members also spent the evening informing the community about the five
    sub-committees within the ANC Glendale Chapter. Board Chairman Pierre
    Chraghchian noted, `This year we have established five separate committees
    to handle fundraising, media relations, community relations, elections, and
    Genocide commemoration.' With the busy election season around the corner
    and a new director to run the operations, the five subcommittees will play a
    key role in the organization.

    Alina Azizian was appointed in November as the organization's first
    Executive Director. The Armenian National Committee, Glendale Chapter, is
    located at 721 South Glendale Ave. in Glendale. You can reach ANC Glendale
    at 818.243.3444. To find out more about the subcommittees (or to join),
