ANC of East San Fernando Valley CA Hosts Open House for Local Officials

STUDIO CITY, CA – The Armenian National Committee of East San Fernando
Valley, California (ANC East SFV) hosted an open house for local
community officials to meet members of the East San Fernando Valley
Armenian American community on Friday, March 16th at its Studio City
Armenian Center. Officials that were in attendance included Los Angeles
City Councilwoman Wendy Greuel, President of Neighborhood Council of
Studio City Rafi Kuyumjian, and from the office of Congressman Howard
Berman, Robert Blumenfield.

The purpose of the event was to present to city officials various
community initiatives that have been completed and those that are still
underway. For the past few years, the ANC has assisted with registering
voters and providing information on key initiatives, as one of the ANC
East SFV’s goals is to educate and convey the importance of Armenian
American constituents to candidates running for office. The event also
provided an opportunity for members of the extensive and growing local
Armenian business community in the East San Fernando Valley to meet and
acquaint themselves with city officials.

"Events like this allow us to work with our elected officials to give
our community a chance to meet and interact with their representatives
in government," remarked ANC East SFV Chair Manug Haladjian.

The event also featured a presentation by the Armenian Relief Society’s
local East San Fernando Valley Chapter regarding their social services
and community outreach activities. ARS-Western Region Chairwoman Sonia
Peltekian joined the local ARS leadership for the presentation.

Following the presentation traditional food was served allowing the
guests to enjoy Armenian hospitality.

The Armenian National Committee of America is the largest and most
influential Armenian American grassroots political organization. Working
in coordination with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters
throughout the United States and affiliated organizations around the
world, the ANCA actively advances the concerns of the Armenian American
community on a broad range of issues.
