2008 AGBU Plovdiv Student Soiree Attracts 100 Youth
On November 29, 2008, AGBU Plovdiv organized its thirteenth annual
Armenian Student Soiree, which was attended by a hundred people from
across Bulgaria, including members of YP Plovdiv. The event took place
at the Finesse Restaurant in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
Present were Archpriest Der Kevork Khacheryan, Bulgarian National
Assembly Representative Dr. Roupen Krikorian, and AGBU Plovdiv leaders.
The program included music, dancing, games, a raffle and special
humorous awards, which brought a great deal of levity to the evening’s
activities. An annual tradition, the Plovdiv Student Soiree also
recognizes the importance of youth in the chapter’s activities, while
also handing out scholarships for well-deserving students. AGBU Plovdiv
chairman Roupen Chavoushian and Edouard Arsenian along with longtime
supporters of youth initiatives were invited to cut the ceremonial cake.
Organizers were particularly encouraged by the great turnout of students
from the neighboring cities of Haskovo, Dobrich, Kardjali, and Sliven.
Established in 1906, AGBU () is the world’s largest
non-profit Armenian organization. Headquartered in New York City, AGBU
preserves and promotes the Armenian identity and heritage through
educational, cultural and humanitarian programs, annually touching the
lives of some 400,000 Armenians on six continents.
