    UCLA ASA Draws in Capacity Crowd at Annual Spring Banquet


    Tujunga, CA. - The last two weeks has been filled with high caliber
    programming for the UCLA Armenian Student Association (ASA). The ASA
    first invited Vahe Berberian for a night of cultural comedy and then the
    Apex Theory for a live concert in Bruin Plaza. This was just the
    beginning of more quality programming by the organization. On Friday,
    March 4, 2005 the UCLA ASA hosted its annual spring banquet with
    internationally famous, Persian-Armenian singer Andy.

    The event was held at SIS Palace in Tujunga, California, where a capacity
    crowd of 600 students from all over California attended the event. The
    evening started with dinner and remarks by the UCLA ASA officers, and
    then a night of entertainment by Andy, guest singer Shaynee, and DJ Diran
    Productions.

    `These past two weeks have been incredible for the UCLA ASA. The ASA
    continues to push the envelope and take the organization and the Armenian
    student community to the next level,' proclaimed ASA and ASBA member Shant
    Taslakian.

    Portions of the proceeds for the event will be donated to help build a
    school in Armenia - a year long effort the organization has decided to
    take on. Other portions will be geared towards ASA programming on campus,
    specifically for Genocide Commemoration and Culture Week.

    ASA and ASO's from all over California supported the event, including USC,
    CSUN, UCLA Armenian Student Business Association, UAS, GCC, Cal State Long
    Beach, UCR, UCI, Stanford, ARF SSA, Cal Poly, BFA, among others. `It is
    amazing to have such ample support from our sister ASA organizations. The
    turnout of the event was highly successful because of all their efforts
    and hard work,' asserted ASA Social Director Maral Karagozian.

    The UCLA ASA is one of the oldest Armenian-American student groups in the
    United States. This year marks the 60th anniversary of its existence. The
    UCLA ASA seeks to cultivate a true understanding and appreciation of
    Armenian history, heritage, and culture through cultural, social, and
    recreational activities.
