TCA ADS Celebrates Its 29th Annual Dinner Dance
Los Angeles, March 25, 2010 - TCA Arshag Dickranian School held its 29th
Annual Dinner Dance at the school's Walter and Laurel Karabian Hall on
Saturday, March 20th, 2010. As in the previous years, the event was
organized by the school's Parent-Teacher Organization and was well
attended by parents, teachers, students, alumni, supporters and guests,
who gathered for an evening of merriment and to savor the delicious dishes
catered by the Marquis Restaurant.
The celebration started with the welcoming remarks of the school's eighth
grade homeroom teacher, Ms. Alvard Uzunyan, who promised the guests an
evening full of enjoyment. She then invited Rev. Manoug Markarian, the
parish priest of St. John Church, to offer benediction.
PTO Chairperson, Ms. Ophilia Garibyan, next took the podium and gave a
brief report on the various activities of the PTO, adding that all such
activities were planned and carried out for the sole purpose of
benefitting the school. Ms. Garibyan then recognized the presence of Mr.
and Mrs. Armen Mkhsian as the banquet's honored guests and thanked them
for their donation of five thousand dollars in memory of his late father
Levon. Mr. Mkhsian, a long time ardent member of the PTO and the father of
three children attending Dickranian School, took turn by expressing his
pleasure working with his PTO colleagues. `Arshag Dickranian School is
like my second home' he said, `and I am totally committed to helping our
school in any way I can.'
DJ Arthur Garibyan, an alumnus from the class of 2003, provided the dance
music, inciting enthusiasts of all ages to fill the dance floor with his
popular tunes. The guests also had the pleasure to enjoy the solo vocal
renditions staged by Krystal Kilajian and Ani Nercessian, two high school
students who captivated the listeners with their delightful voices.
Principal Vartkes Kourouyan, being the last speaker of the program,
thanked the PTO members for their selfless devotion and diligence. He
stated that the proceeds of the banquet were aimed for the school's
scholarship and student aid program. He then invited Mr. & Mrs. Mkhsian
to cut the cake prepared for the occasion. Mr. Kourouyan also recognized
the presence of Mr. Hmayak Baltayan at the banquet, offering a second cake
in honor of his 80th birthday. Finally, young and old attendants filled
the dance floor stepping and swaying to the lively tunes of the disco
music.
