    SUPPORT MADE ABUSE PROGRAM A SUCCESS

    Glendale News Press, CA

    On behalf of the Armenian Bar Assn., a warm thank you for the Aug. 13
    Teen Alcohol and Substance Abuse Workshop presented by Homenetmen
    (HMEM) Western Region.

    I was honored to take part as a panelist on such an important topic.

    They are to be commended for shedding light on a topic that
    unfortunately remains a taboo in the minds of so many in the
    Armenian-American community.

    Also to be commended for their continued support and service to our
    community are Mary Der Parseghian, Esq., Nora Chitilian Keleshian,
    Arick Gevorkian, Officer Joe Allen and the Glendale Police Department
    for their genuine support.

    The presence at the event of GPD Chief Ron De Pompa, Capt. Todd Stokes
    as well as Lt. Lola Abrahamian, speaks volumes for the depth of the
    police department's partnership with our community and its premier
    organization, Homenetmen.

    It was a privilege and an honor to have been asked and participated in
    Homenetmen's important initiative to raise awareness in our community
    relative to teens and alcohol and substance abuse in their midst,
    along with the consequences which await them and us all as families
    and as a community. If we do not embrace the importance of our role in
    the choices teenagers make and the corresponding consequences which
    flow from such poor choices as described at the panel discussion, we
    are sure to regret it.

    Everyone should be congratulated and thanked for taking part in a very
    critical, necessary and timely program.
