    PRELATE'S CHRISTMAS DINNER

    H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, the Religious and
    Executive Councils and Ladies Auxiliary are pleased to announce long-time

    This year marks the 20th year that the Prelate has been leading this
    endeavor, which continues to be a great success year after year owing to the
    efforts of His Eminence and the encouragement of sponsors like the
    Yemenidjian family.
    "We express our gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Yemenidjian for graciously
    assuming the main sponsorship of this beloved traditional event and for
    their generosity and staunch support and friendship over the decades,"
    stated the Prelate. The couple most recently sponsored "Koujakian" Hall of
    St. Garabed Church in Las Vegas, along with the Fattal and Koujakian
    families. "We are pleased to be a part of this special event and to lend our
    support to the fulfillment of the Prelacy's spiritual, educational, and
