THE LINCY FOUNDATION DONATES $175,000 TO
T.C.A. ARSHAG DICKRANIAN ARMENIAN SCHOOL

In a letter dated August 25, 2008, The Lincy Foundation affirmed the
approval of a contribution in the amount of $175,000 to the Tekeyan
Cultural Association Arshag Dickranian Armenian School.

Wishing the school continued success, the letter also stated that the
contribution was intended to be used throughout the school’s 2008-2009
academic year for the following purposes: (a) to carry on the school’s
mission by instituting a diverse and comprehensive educational
program, (b) to enhance teacher recruitment and retention, and (c) for
scholarship program assistance.

Arshag Dickranian School has long been listed as a beneficiary of the
Lincy Foundation. In June 2008, Mr. Rakow paid a personal visit to the
school accompanied by the Foundation’s Senior Vice President Mr. Harut
Sassounian. The two guests spent more than an hour meeting with the
members of the Board of Trustees, gathering information and touring
the campus. Their promise for assistance was swift and overwhelmingly
generous.

`We are overjoyed and very grateful to the Board Members of The Lincy
Foundation for responding to our annual petitions in such a timely and
generous way` , said George K. Mandossian, Chairman of the School
Board of Trustees. The merits of The Lincy Foundation are diverse and
exemplary, having long gained worldwide respect and acclaim for its
numerous benevolence throughout the United States and the Republic of
Armenia.
