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.
