Bay Area Armenian National Committee (ANC SF) welcomes Congressional
candidate Jackie Speier and ANCA Washington Headquarters’ Executive
Director Aram Hamparian as its Special Guests at this year’s "Hye
Tad Evening" which will take place on Saturday, March 8, 2008 at the
Armenian Community Center in San Francisco.

The annual "Hye Tad Evening" is an opportunity for the ANC to
update the community on the status of political issues of concern
to Armenian-Americans, to introduce public figures who have made a
lasting impact on those issues, and to provide a progress report on
the projects being pursued in the community.

Former California State Senator Jackie Speier recently announced
her candidacy for California’s 12th US congressional district, which
encompasses San Mateo County and part of San Francisco. The district
has been represented by Congressman Tom Lantos since 1980. Lantos will
not seek re-election in November. Speier has served as San Mateo County
Supervisor for six years and as a State Assemblymember. Throughout her
career, the Bay Area ANC has fostered a strong working relationship
with Sen. Speier, who has been a strong advocate for issues of concern
to Armenian-Americans.
