    AGBU CENTRAL BOARD DONATES $100,000 TO RED CROSS FOR VICTIMS OF
    HURRICANE KATRINA

    In response to the natural disaster in the Gulf States, the Central
    Board of the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU), through special
    relief contributions, will donate $100,000 to the Red Cross in support
    of Hurricane Katrina emergency efforts. AGBU has quickly responded over
    the years to the plight of those who have survived warfare and natural
    disasters all over the world.

    The Red Cross has received over $409 million in gifts that will help
    victims receive water, shelter, food, counseling and other assistance.
    As a non-profit organization reaching out to individuals through
    humanitarian programs, AGBU would like to offer its support to the Red
    Cross so that it may continue its work in helping the victims of
    Hurricane Katrina.

    We encourage our worldwide membership to continue donating to charitable
    organizations that are providing relief efforts.

    Established in 1906, AGBU is the world's largest non-profit Armenian
    organization. Headquartered in New York City with an annual budget of
    $26 million, AGBU (www.agbu.org) preserves and promotes the Armenian
    identity and heritage through educational, cultural and humanitarian
    programs, annually serving some 400,000 Armenians in 35 countries.
