    CONGRESSMAN SCHIFF TO MEET WITH HOLLYWOOD ARMENIAN COMMUNITY

    The Armenian National Committee of America, Hollywood Chapter, is proud
    to introduce Congressman Adam Schiff to the Hollywood Armenian-American
    community in a Town Hall on the evening of Sunday, January 15th.

    The new lines drawn by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission
    have included Hollywood in Schiff's new district.

    "The Town Hall is an opportune moment for the leaders and members
    of the Little Armenia and Hollywood communities to approach the
    Congressman with their concerns and questions," said ANCA-Hollywood
    chairman Paul Seradarian.

    The ANCA-Hollywood is calling on members of the Hollywood
    Armenian-American community, one of the oldest and most storied in Los
    Angeles, to have a strong presence at the Town Hall so that they may
    meet the congressman and use the opportunity to discuss any prevailing
    issues with him.

    "We urge anyone who has an interest in the Little Armenia/Hollywood
    community to attend, as only a diverse group of attendees would
    accurately represent the Hollywood constituency and signal to the
    congressman the wide range of issues that have been afflicting
    Hollywood residents for too long," said board member Tereza Yerimyan.

    Armenian-American political activists, members of neighborhood
    councils, business leaders and entrepreneurs, students from local
    Armenian and public schools, and older residents who use community
    services are all urged to attend.

    The newly established California Citizens Redistricting Commission,
    which oversees redistricting in California, redrew congressional
    district lines and, with regular input by the ANCA-Western Region at
    public hearings, incorporated Little Armenia and East Hollywood into
    the district that Congressman Schiff, if reelected, would represent.

    "For years now, Congressman Schiff has stood by the Armenian American
    communities he serves, sponsoring the Armenian Genocide Resolution
    in the House and supporting us on a host of other issues. Meeting
    him, sharing with him concerns particular to our Hollywood Armenian
    community, and introducing him to our community is certainly exciting
    for us," said ANCA-Hollywood board member Srbui Karapetian.
