    34th Annual KZV Banquet raises over $350,000

    SAN FRANCISCO--On Saturday, November 1 more than 250 supporters from
    the San Francisco Armenian community gathered to celebrate the
    accomplishments of Krouzian-Zekarian-Vasbouragan School at
    Khatchaturian Armenian Community Center, Saroyan Hall. The total
    contributions for the event exceeded $350,000.

    KZV Alumni and School Board Member, Garin Kantarci, welcomed attendees
    and presented the School Board's current mission, as well as its six
    year strategic plan. "As a board we are very excited about the
    prospect of ushering KZV into the next phase of its service to the
    community," stated Kantarci. "As is always the case, the second
    generation is expected to carry the torch further than their
    predecessors and we feel we have begun that journey. This banquet was
    a great springboard."

    Grace Andonian, Principal of KZV Armenian School, welcomed guests and
    thanked them for their continued steadfast support to KZV. "As we
    started our 35th academic year, one more link is added to the chain
    that symbolizes the continuity of KZV as a bastion of enlightenment
    for the greater Bay Area's Armenian-American youth," stated Andonian.
    "We are grateful for the partnership with everyone that makes up our
    KZV family: parents, students, faculty, alumni, school board, friends
    and community members. As we continue on our journey, I thank you all
    for your presence here today, but more importantly for your trust and
    confidence in our shared mission."

    For the third year, the KZV Alumni Association presented its Alumni of
    the Year Award. The recipient this year was Mrs. Ani Vartanian
    Boladian. A Stanford and Harvard Business School Graduate, Ani has
    worked with the United States Department of Treasury and currently
    runs a commercial real estate company with her husband.

    The keynote speaker for the evening, Dr. Yerem Yeghiazarians focused
    his presentation on the advancements in cardiac stem cell research. In
    his presentation, he spoke about how he was proud to be a new parent
    at KZV making his family part of the bigger KZV community. Dr.
    Yeghiazarians was also proud in mentioning that two young alumni
    students interned in his lab at UCSF over the summer and was able to
    see the strong educational foundation that KZV had instilled in these
    students.

    The highlight of the evening was a surprise donation from longtime
    community members, Mr. and Mrs. Zareh and Lucik Misserlian, in the
    amount of $250,000.00 to KZV. Mr. Kahren Arzoumanian, School Board
    chairman, announced the creation of the Zareh and Lucik Misserlian
    Education Fund. "The establishment of the Zareh and Lucik Misserlian
    Educational Fund will ensure the long term sustainability of the
    school as the proceeds from the fund will help families receiving
    financial assistance," stated Arzoumanian. "Mr. and Mrs. Misserlian
    believe in the mission of the school and want to set an example for
    others to follow in their footsteps in investing in the future of our
    youth and school."

    The KZV School Board would like to thank the attendees and supporters
    of the 34th Annual KZV Banquet. The committee is already in the
    process of planning the 35th Anniversary Gala Celebration that will
    take place in November of 2015.
