On September 6, a group of young members joined the Armenian
Democratic Liberal Party (ADL) Detroit Arshak Chobanian Chapter. Their
official induction took place on Saturday, January 10, at a special
reception. Many members had braved the snow to attend this reception,
which was opened by remarks from Hagop Alexanian, chairman of
Chobanian Chapter.
A short video documentary was presented featuring the ADL history
and activities since its inception. The documentary was prepared
by Dr. Harutune Arzoumanian and narrated by opera singer Ara
Berberian. Following the video presentation, the chairman pinned the
ADL insignia on each new member’s lapel.
ADL District Committee Co-chairman Edmond Azadian surprised Alexanian,
fellow member of the District Committee by presenting him the District
Committee’s Distinguished Membership plaque.
While the members enjoyed the lavish buffet dinner, prepared by the ADL
Ladies Group, Azadian delivered a lecture outlining the ADL ideology,
traditions and future political challenges.
The youth group has already planning its activities, which will mainly
focus on political issue and lobbying projects.
