    ANC-WR LAUNCHES CENSUS 2010 CAMPAIGN

    GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA - The Armenian National Committee - Western
    Region (ANC-WR) recently launched the "ANCensus 2010" campaign.
    Working in partnership with the Census 2010, the ANC-WR seeks to
    boost the participation rate of Armenian Americans in the 2010
    Census count by educating the community and increasing awareness
    about the significance of the headcount.

    The ANC-WR Census 2010 campaign efforts are supported in part by a
    grant from the California Community Foundation. The grant will
    assist the ANC-WR to conduct an aggressive community outreach
    campaign for the 2010 Census. The goals of the ANCensus 2010
    project include maximizing Armenian American participation in the
    2010 headcount and informing the community to indicate "Armenian"
    as their race on the questionnaire.

    The outreach campaign also allows for re-granting opportunities to
    Armenian American nonprofit organizations. The ANC-WR will
    distribute grants in the coming months to those Armenian American
    organizations that are willing to conduct Census outreach work.
    Organizations must submit proposal applications by Friday, February
    5, 2010. For more information on re-granting opportunities, please
    visit ANCensus2010.org or call the ANCensus 2010 Hotline at (888)
    666-4761.

    "One of the primary goals for the outreach campaign is to increase
    the number of Armenian Americans who participate in the 2010 census
    and ensure that the questionnaires accurately reflect our ethnic
    group," said Tamar Baboujian, Director of the ANCensus 2010
    Project. "We are thankful to the California Community Foundation
    for giving us the opportunity to conduct and execute this campaign
    in a sophisticated and efficient manner."

    The Armenian National Committee - Western Region is the largest
    Armenian American grassroots community organization in the Western
    United States. Working in coordination with a network of offices,
    chapters, and supporters throughout the Western United States and
    affiliated organizations around the country, the ANC-WR works to
    promote understanding regarding issues of concern to the Armenian
    American community.
