to be an Unger within the organization.

her days as an AYF member.
"It is always such an amazing feeling to watch such a large group of
juniors take their AYF oath," said Hrache Novruzyan of the AYF CE.
"The group of AYF Juniors we had transferring this year are all
very active in their respective communities and shared fresh new
ideas with us throughout the educational workshop. I can say with
confidence that our future is in good hands."
