    New York AYF Hosts Annual Summer Bar Party, Proceeds Benefit ARS
    Sponsor-A-Child Program

    NEW YORK - On July 26, the New York Armenian Youth Federation (AYF) Hyortik
    chapter brought to together youth from all corners of the Armenian community
    for its annual summer bar party. Armenians from New York, New Jersey and as
    far away as Boston and Philadelphia, packed a room at Latitude Bar in
    Manhattan where they danced all night to the music of DJ Ash.

    Attendees talked, mingled and danced under the large Armenian flag centering
    the room as they watch photos and video projected on TVs in the bar
    depicting the activities of the New York AYF, the AYF Eastern Region, and
    AYFers around the world. "Our members had a great time at the Annual AYF
    Summer Bar Party this past weekend. We can always count on the New York AYF
    to saturate Armenian celebrations with wholesome happiness, excitement, and
    pride in our heritage. It is with great joy that I partake in AYF events.
    Keep us posted!" said Columbia University Armenian Club president Shaunte
    Baboumian.

    The Hyortiks donated a portion of the event proceeds to the ARS
    Sponsor-A-Child Program. Established in 1992, the program provides financial
    support to children whose parents were killed in the devastating 1988
    earthquake in Gyumri, Armenia and in the Artaskh struggle for
    self-determination. Over 7,000 children have been assisted by generous
    sponsors who annual contribute $130 per child, per year.
