    AGBU YOUNG PROFESSIONALS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WINTER GALA RAISES
    $2,000 FOR AGBU CHILDREN'S CENTERS

    San Francisco, CA -- AGBU Young Professionals of Northern California
    (AGBU YPNC), now in its seventh year, hosted its sixth annual Winter
    Gala Getaway Weekend from Friday, January 28th through Sunday, January
    30th, 2005. Over 250 young professionals from throughout the country
    assembled in picturesque San Francisco for a weekend of friends and
    fun, which raised $2,000 for AGBU Children's Centers in Armenia.

    The weekend kicked off with a welcome mixer on Friday night at
    Schroeder's Restaurant. Young Armenians spent the evening catching up
    with old friends, meeting new ones, and dancing all night to a live
    DJ. Picture postcard weather enabled guests to spend Saturday
    afternoon exploring the city, riding trolley cars, shopping in Union
    Square, and soaking up the beauty of San Francisco.

    The weekend highlight was the Winter Gala on Saturday evening hosted
    at the historic and elegant Regency Building. Annette Kevranian and
    Sherrie Paregian, AGBU YP-NC Winter Gala Co-Chairs, welcomed attendees
    and AGBU YPNC General Board Member Kim Bardakian introduced the George
    Baghdoyan Band from Los Angeles. After the Gala, guests returned to
    the Hotel Nikko for late-night festivities.

    The weekend was topped off Sunday morning with a brunch held at
    Kuleto's Restaurant. Guests gathered to share the final few hours and
    exchange contact information, while making plans to see each other at
    AGBU Focus 2005 in South Beach, Florida from July 14th to 17th,
    2005. Plans are already underway for next year's Winter Gala weekend.

    AGBU YPNC is part of a global AGBU YP network which seeks to provide a
    forum for young professionally-aged Armenians to undertake
    educational, cultural, social, and humanitarian activities under the
    umbrella of AGBU. For more information on AGBU YPNC, please contact
