UNVEILING OF THE CENTENNIAL LOGO OF THE ARMENIAN RELIEF SOCIETY
GLENDALE, California (November 6, 2009)- The Armenian Relief Society
(ARS) is turning 100 years old in 2010. To commemorate the ARS
Centenary, a Centennial logo has been created. This new logo will be
used in all 26 countries where the ARS has regions and chapters. The
ARS of Western U.S.A., Inc., Regional Executive Board will be the host
of the logo unveiling ceremony, under the auspices of the ARS Central
Executive Board.
The logo unveiling ceremony will be held on Thursday, November 12,
2009, at 6:30 pm, at the ARS of Western U.S.A., Regional Headquarters,
517 West Glenoaks Blvd., Glendale, CA 91202. This by invitation only
red carpet event will provide a preview to those events, which will be
hosted by other ARS entities on various continents.
`We are very pleased that our Region is hosting the ARS Centennial
logo unveiling ceremony. This is our chance to share our passion for
service locally and globally,’ said Sossie Poladian, Chair of the ARS
of Western U.S.A., Regional Executive Board. She added, `The essence
of service by the ARS has not changed. We continue to adapt to provide
compassionate culturally sensitive services.’
The ARS was founded in New York City in 1910, and the first ARS
chapters in the west were in Fresno and Los Angeles. The ARS of
Western U.S.A., Inc. became a separate entity from the East Coast and
Canada in 1984, with established headquarters in the City of Glendale.
The Western U.S.A. continues to make a difference locally and globally
to assist those in need. The Social Services offices and Child, Youth
& Family Guidance Center offer culturally sensitive services to help
guide those seeking help to resolve their personal issues, adapt to
their new environments and become more productive members of society.
Centennial celebrations planned for the year 2010 are a chance for ARS
members and supporters to come together as one big family, to
collectively remember those who came and passed leaving a legacy, and
to pull their strength together to embark on new paths for the next
century.
