    PanARMENIAN.Net - This year's annual community wide commemoration of
    the Armenian Genocide will take place on April 21, 2013. The event
    is organized by the Armenian National Committee of America Orange
    County Chapter (ANCA-OC) which has once again brought the Armenian
    community of together to present a unified front on this important
    national issue, Asbarez reports.

    Orange County's very own Green K.A.R.D., a local OC band comprised of
    AYF members, and Hasmik Piliposyan, a current student at UCI. There
    will also be a special presentation by the AGBU Manoogian Demirjian
    School Drama Conservatory ArtReach project "Voices from the Genocide,"
    and recitals by the A.G. Minassian Armenian school students. A number
    of short videos will also be screened during the program.

    The participating organizations in this year's event once again
    represent the entire Armenian community of Orange County and include
    the following: ACYO, AGBU Orange County Saturday School, A.G.

    The "Unity is Our Strength" motto was adopted by the Orange County
    Armenian community organizations during a February meeting organized
    by the ARF Armen Karo Gomideh.

    "Over the past few years the organizations have been working much more
    closely with each other, but the ARF's proactive steps in reaching out
    to everyone and being inclusive has created stronger ties in Orange
    County with unprecedented levels of cooperation and coordination,"
    said ANCA OC board member Talar Malakian.
