Join Us to Celebrate a Milestone...Reserve Here
The signs of the Holiday Season have already begun with
Christmas trees and lights decorating the stores, Christmas carols being heard
on Radio and Television and the Western
Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America
planning its Tenth Annual Christmas Ball. This traditional event will be held on
Saturday, December 7, at the beautifully decorated Nazareth & Sima Kalaydjian
Hall of the Arshag and Eleanor Dickranian Complex, 3325 North Glenoaks Boulevard,
Burbank. Festivities will begin at 7:00
pm. with a Reception and Gala Tree Lighting Ceremony and Toy Drive, followed by
a welcoming dinner and exciting program at 8:00 p.m.
Raffi Kendirjan, Chair of the Christmas Ball Committee,
states that this year during the Christmas Ball we will be celebrating the
milestone of ten years of service of our Primate, Archbishop Hovnan
Derderian. “As we look back on the past
ten years,” stated Kendirjian, “among the many accomplishments as Primate, His
Eminence launched the Christian Education Department, ‘The Voice of the
Armenian Church’ television program, the Agha Sarkissian Library,
Baidzar Terpanjian Bookstore and Zorayan Museum; revitalized the
Stewardship Program; and completed construction of St. Leon Armenian Cathedral
of the Western Diocese.”
As in years past, the custom of recognizing young
professional Armenian American leaders in the community will be the highlight
of the evening. This tradition was
created by the Primate to honor and acknowledge young professional leaders in
the legal, medical, educational, communication/media, political and
philanthropic fields. Honorees are not
only selected for their achievements and success in their chosen endeavors, but
for their contributions to both the Armenian and American communities.
The professionals to be honored this year are Lina
Arslanian, Rostom Baghdassarian, Raffi R. Barsam, DMD, Sara Bedirian, JD, Alice
Chakrian, Araksya Karapetyan, Gerard Kassabian, JD, LLM, Houry Khechoumian,
Serineh V. Melidonian, MD, Harout Mesrobian, MD, Raffi Tachdjian, MDS, MPH, Vartan Tachdjian,
MD, Mihran Tcholakian, and Jessica
Vartoughian.
Booklet sponsorships are available in different
