The Armenian Relief Society of Western USA in Glendale is celebrating
its 30th anniversary with three days of events, starting on Friday.
Founded in 1984, the organization provides assistance to needy
individuals and communities. In addition to offering local
social-service programs, the group has played a large role in
fundraising efforts for Armenians affected by the civil war in Syria.
The celebration is set to kick off with a gala at 7 p.m. at the
Taglyan Cultural Center, 1201 Vine St. in Los Angeles. The event will
highlight the organization's decades of service as well as honor
several individuals key to the nonprofit. The Glendale Chamber
Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Michael Avedissian, is set to perform.
Tickets are $125 per person.
On Saturday, the nonprofit is scheduled to host a free seminar
covering topics such as Armenian Genocide education in the public
school system, repatriation and personal stories of survival. The
seminar will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Glendale Hilton,
100 W. Glenoaks Blvd.
Lastly, the society will host a beach-side lunch from 11 a.m. to 4
p.m. on Sunday at the Sky Room, 40 S. Locust Ave. in Long Beach. The
lunch costs $75 per person.
