    PROPOSED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MEMORIAL PROJECT WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE
    PASADENA CITY COUNCIL

    Pasadena, CA, August 12, 2013: In couple of years, Armenians all
    over the world will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of the
    first genocide of the 20th century when 1.5 million Armenians were
    massacred. To keep the memory of 1.5 million Armenians alive, 166
    memorial monuments have been erected in 33 countries worldwide. Those
    who erected the monuments want the history to stay alive and the
    people of the world to be informed of that barbaric event.

    The Armenian community in Pasadena wanted to bring their share in the
    commemoration effort. The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial
    Committee has planned a very impressive memorial to be constructed in
    Pasadena Memorial Park by 2015, with adequate informational
    inscriptions about the genocide.

    On July 16, 2013, the Recreation and Parks Commission unanimously
    approved the proposed design by Catherine Menard, a student at the
    Pasadena Art Center College of Design.
    The City of Pasadena has scheduled the City Council hearing for
    September 9th for the review and approval of the memorial design. The
    meeting will be held at:

    Council Chamber
    Pasadena City Hall
    100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249
    6:30 pm.

    We ask that our Community members attend the City Council hearing and
    show support of the proposed memorial project.

    Please check our web-site at PASAGMC.ORG and our Facebook page at
    PASAGMC, to be acquainted with the Committee members, the details of
    the project, and information on upcoming events.

    /The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee is a 501(c)3
    tax-exempt non-profit organization./
