    ARS Issues Appeal to Help Earthquake Victims in Haiti

    Glendale, CA.- The Armenian Relief Society of Western U.S.A. (ARS),
    Regional Executive board issued an appeal to mobilize its members and
    the community at large to contribute to the ARS Haiti Relief Fund and
    lend a hand to ongoing disaster relief efforts.

    `The ARS feels the suffering of the Haitian people, especially since
    we experienced similar devastation after the 1988 earthquake in
    Armenia,' said Sossie Poladian, Chairperson of the ARS Regional
    Executive. She added, `Many of us, still remember the pain and anguish
    that we felt and how comforting it was to know that world came to help
    the people of Armenia. It is our duty to help the Haitians who fell
    victim to a similar disaster.'

    Since the ARS was founded a century ago, disaster relief has been one
    of its humanitarian missions. Earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes
    from Greece to Mexico to our own backyard in Louisiana have flung the
    ARS into relief efforts.

    Our community is urged to be generous with their donations, knowing
    that every donation small or large can make a difference in the lives
    of those who are suffering in their devastated nation.

    Tax-deductible donations can be securely made on-line at
    www.arswestusa.org/donate or checks payable to the "ARS of Western
    USA" can be mailed to ARS of Western USA, Regional Executive at 517
    W. Glenoaks Blvd., Glendale, CA 91202-2812. The web donations default
    to `Haiti Relief Fund' and the checks need to indicate the same on the
    memo field.
