    AGBU MONTRÉAL ANNOUNCES PAUL & SIRVART KICHIAN CAPITAL RENOVATION FUND

    Montreal, Canada - On May 1, 2005, during a special event held to
    honor its former Chairman, Paul Kichian, and his wife, Sirvart, AGBU
    Montreal announced the founding of the Paul & Sirvart Kichian Capital
    Renovation Fund, which will be used to cover the ongoing expenses of
    the newly-renovated Alex Manoogian Center. The Chapter will contribute
    an estimated C$5,000 to this fund annually.

    "We are proud to announce this special fund in the name of Paul and
    Sirvart," said Viken L. Attarian, AGBU Montreal Chairman. "It is our
    way to honor two people who have made an incredible contribution to
    our Chapter. This fund will serve to keep the Kichian legacy alive
    and to maintain our newly-renovated Center in excellent condition on
    an ongoing basis." The dinner event attracted over 250 guests raising
    C$25,000 in pledges and donations.

    The Chapter also established Honorary Membership, with Paul and
    Sirvart Kichian as the first two recipients of this distinguished
    award. "Both of us are truly moved by your presence, your enthusiasm,
    your generosity and by your sincere emotions," said Mr. Kichian in
    his speech. "We will forever carry AGBU and all of you in our hearts."
