AGBU MONTREAL 50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
AGBU Montreal proudly announces that on February 17th, 2007 it will be
celebrating its Golden 50th Anniversary.
To celebrate this historical landmark for the Montreal and Canadian
Armenian community a special committee is set up by the chapter. A
major event is being planned for that date in the historic City Hall
of Old Montreal. With this News Release all community organizations
are kindly asked to avoid any scheduling conflicts.
The event will focus on a historical exhibition as well as a special
recognition ceremony and reception for all the volunteers and veteran
members of our association. Veteran and Double Veteran membership
certificates will be granted by the AGBU Central Board to all who
qualify. According to AGBU bylaws, to qualify for Veteran status, 20
years of membership in good standing is required and to qualify for
Double Veteran status, 40 years of membership in good standing is
necessary. It should be noted that such status is only conferred by
the recommendation of the local chapter in Montreal and upon
verification of the appropriate documents.
We urge all potential candidates for this honor to submit their
candidature as well as proof of membership in the association to our
chapter at the contact coordinates below. In addition, while
submitting your candidature, please be reminded of the following:
All students of AGBU Schools in the Middle East, in particular in
Syria and Lebanon have been members for the number of years they
attended the school.
All staff members teaching Armenian topics of AGBU Schools in the
Middle East, in particular in Syria and Lebanon have been members for
the number of years they were employed by the school. All members of
AGBU youth associations anywhere in the world, such as scouts, sports
teams, dance troops etc. have been members for the number of years
they participated in those programs. It is not necessary to have a
continuous 20 and 40 years of membership to qualify for the Veteran
and Double Veteran honors, however, you are expected to be currently a
member in good standing of the chapter. All years of membership in
any chapter in any location around the world count towards your
Veteran and Double Veteran status.
Long time volunteers of the chapter will also be honored with the
Dedicated Volunteer Service Award created specifically for the 50th
Anniversary year by the chapter.
A special commemorative booklet is also being published for this
occasion, containing a year by year summarized history of the AGBU
Montreal chapter with relevant historical photographs. We therefore
urge all community members to submit to the organizing committee for
consideration any important historical archival material in their
possession. Such material could be in the form of printed text,
collections of publications, photographs or videographic recordings.
All material will be carefully evaluated and will be returned to the
owners.
The deadline for submitting candidatures for Veteran and Double
Veteran Status as well as the historical archival material is January
10th, 2007.
The 50th Anniversary Inaugural Celebration will be the launching of
dedications of various similar events throughout 2007. A special
slogan "AGBU Montreal, a golden legacy for posterity" has been chosen
by the chapter and will be used to highlight all such events and
associated initiatives.
