    Mousa Ler Association of California has organized a
    cultural event to express the community's gratitude
    and appreciation to AGBU for its assistance of Musa
    Daghian refugees in 1915. The event is free of
    admission charges, and it will take place on Saturday,
    December 16, 2006 at the Glendale Central Library (222
    E. Harvard Street, Glendale, CA).

    AGBU is one of the world's largest non-profit Armenian
    organization established in 1906 in Egypt, for the
    preservation and promotion of the Armenian identity
    and heritage. It has helped the Genocide survivors and
    has touched the lives of millions of Armenians for a
    century. In particular, it has played a crucial role
    in the lives of the people of Moussa Ler during their
    four years as refugees in Egypt, where, following
    their heroic resistance against the Turkish Army in
    1915, they were transported by the French Navy. During
    this period, the AGBU was instrumental in providing
    educational and social assistance to over 4000 Moussa
    Lertsy refugees. It was through the benevolence of the
    AGBU that the ~SSisvan~T school was established under
    tents for the educational needs of the youth. The AGBU
    also lent a hand of assistance to the people of Moussa
    Ler upon their return to Moussa Ler in 1919. The AGBU
    assistance continued during the early years of Ainjar.

    The Moussa Ler Association of California would like to
    express its gratitude and appreciation to the AGBU, by
    organizing a cultural event that will be held on
    Saturday, December 16, 2006 at 8 PM in the Glendale
    Public Library (222 E Harvard St). An exhibit of
    photographs depicting the lives of Moussa Lertsies in
    Egypt and a presentation by Dr. Vahram Shemmassian of
    California State University at Northridge (CSUN) will
    highlight the evening.

    We would like to invite the public to attend this
    event and participate in expressing our deepest
    gratitude and appreciation for all the assistance and
    leadership the AGBU has shown to the Armenians all
    over the world, and especially to the people of Moussa
    Ler.
