UCI Armenian Students Pledge Expanded Role in 2009 Orange County Armenian
Festival
Laguna Hills, CA - Armenian students of Alpha Gamma Alpha of the Beta
Chapter at University of California at Irvine pledged an expanded role in
the 2009 fifth annual Armenian Festival of Orange County. The Armenian
Festival organizing committee authorized donations again this year to
several qualified educational activities and institutions throughout the
southland, including the UCI sorority composed of Armenian students across
the country. "Alpha Gamma Alpha is deeply appreciative of your generous
donation," said a spokesperson Elin Darkalstanian. "It means a lot to us to
have adults like yourselves proud of our goals and accomplishments, along
with our purpose in the community," she continued.
"The UCI students filled a critical role in the 2008 Festival as volunteers
in several capacities, and were particularly helpful, friendly, courteous
and professional," said volunteer chair Rosemary Saatjian. "We were
grateful for their spontaneity, energy and willingness to work both hard and
happily to ensure our guests had a memorable experience," she said. "We
welcome their return next year in expanded roles and responsibilities," she
added. "They were all fantastic!" she exclaimed.
The fifth annual 2009 Armenian Festival of Orange County is scheduled for
the weekend of September 12 and 13, Saturday and Sunday, starting at noon,
at the same beautiful park-like grounds at the Laguna Hills Community
Center, located at 25555 Alicia Parkway, Laguna Hills, CA 92653 at the
corner of Paseo de Valencia, about 1 mile west of the Alicia exit on the 5
freeway.
Originally conceived by Executive Director Paul Aslanian and a few friends
in 2005, the Armenian Festival of Orange County has been successful and
growing every year. The festival is a non-denominational, non-political,
all-inclusive, qualified not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization administered
by independent unpaid volunteers from a diverse cross-section of the
Armenian community and welcomes invited guests to attend their meetings.
The Festival's mission statement emphasizes communication, understanding and
fellowship amongst all Armenians. It contributes its net proceeds every
year to qualified charitable organizations in the Armenian community without
regard to their political or religious affiliations or predispositions.
The Armenian Festival's colorful flyer, applications for booth reservations,
volunteers or information for sponsors, a photo gallery of prior festivals,
letters of appreciation and congratulations, and much more information is
available by visiting the Festival's web site at www.ArmenianFestival.org
<http://www.armenianfe stival.org./> or by telephoning the 24-hour
information hotline at either (949) 309-2900 or toll-free at (888) HYE-FEST
