Armenian Festival Committee Arranges Multi-Media Armenian Cultural
Program to be Hosted by the City of Irvine, California
IRVINE, CA – Organizers of the Armenian Festival of Orange County have
established a partnering relationship with the City of Irvine,
California, to present a cultural exploration of Armenia, its history,
culture, and tourism to the general public at the Irvine Multicultural
Association’s monthly social meeting. Each month, the IMA features a
country whose representatives are asked to present the culture, history
and unique characteristics. Last month, nearly 225 people attended the
lecture and demonstration presenting Israel.
The monthly social meetings of the Irvine Multicultural Association are
held at the Lakeview Senior Center, 20 Lake Road, Irvine, CA. This
month’s meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 7th, with seating
beginning at 5:30 PM. Light refreshments will be served prior to,
during the mid-way break, and following the program. Supporting the
event by providing informative materials on Armenia, its exports,
tourism and business opportunities, is the office of the Consul General
of the Republic of Armenia.
The Armenian Festival executive committee is grateful to the presenters
of this program who are donating their time and materials to make this
multi-media presentation possible. Beginning at 6:00 PM, Ms. Anahid
Asadorian will present "3,000 Years – The Soul of Armenia," followed by
Messrs. Mathew Karanian and Robert Kurkian, who will present a beautiful
photo journey of Armenia, who have also co-authored a colorful Armenian
travel guide which will be available for purchase on a limited basis.
Following the program, the presenters will be available for book signing
and questions, during which light refreshments and Armenian pastries
will be served. All are welcome to attend. The maximum capacity of the
room for the Armenian program is 300, which is expected to be filled to
capacity. The arrangements are strictly first come, first seated. No
arrangements for reservations are available. Guests are encouraged to
arrive early as seating is strictly limited and no overflow areas are
available, as the IMA has reserved the largest meeting area available in
the Irvine Lakeview Senior Center for this inaugural Armenian event.
For more information, prospective attendees are encouraged to contact
Ms. Greta Jacobs at (949) 552-7433, who is coordinating the event on
behalf of the Irvine Multicultural Association.
