NEW AGBU YOUNG PROFESSIONALS GROUP HOSTS INAUGURAL EVENT IN BOSTON

Open House Draws Over 95 Armenian Professionals to AGBU Center in
Watertown

Watertown, MA – The latest addition to AGBU’s growing network of 14
Young Professionals (YP) Groups around the world, AGBU YP Boston
hosted its inaugural event-an Open House-on the evening of March 18,
2006, at the AGBU New England Center in Watertown, Massachusetts.

The kickoff event drew over 95 Armenians from the Boston area,
culminating in an evening of mingling, music and meze with guests
enjoying a variety of domestic and Armenian wine. Introducing an
artistic quality to the event, an exhibition of contemporary paintings
by YP Boston Co-Chair Garo Arakelian was also on display on the
spacious second floor. The evening continued with guests
enthusiastically completing questionnaires citing ideas for future
activities and volunteering to serve on event committees.

Warmly welcoming guests to YP Boston’s opening event, Kim Yacoubian,
AGBU Central Office YP Liaison from New York, remarked that the city
of Boston will benefit greatly from a YP Group aimed at fulfilling the
mission of AGBU through original activities and events geared
specifically for young Armenian professionals.

Funds raised from the Open House will benefit a designated
AGBU-sponsored project in Armenia.

The AGBU Young Professionals of Boston are committed to preserving and
promoting the Armenian identity and heritage through educational,
cultural and humanitarian programs. For more information on YP Boston,
