DETROIT TEKEYAN HOSTS OUTREACH ARMENIA FORUM
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — Approximately 200 people attended the Outreach Armenia Forum hosted by the Tekeyan Cultural Association on Saturday evening, April 12 at the AGBU Alex and Marie Manoogian School here.
Spearheaded by Edmond and Nora Azadian, the forum was an effort to familiarize the community with the numerous non-political organizations which are extending financial aid and services to Armenia and Karabagh.
There are many organizations in the community sponsoring projects in Armenia, but many were unaware of the others' activities. This was an opportunity to view and recognize communitywide support to Armenia.
Nora Azadian extended her appreciation to Edgar Hagopian for hosting the initial meetings of the various organization chairs at his World of Rugs Showroom, Leslie Balian Bush for her technical assistance and the entire committee for their help in presenting the forum.
Contributions of 20 charitable organizations and individuals were featured and recognized. Each representative briefly outlined the mission, objectives and history of their organization during a Powerpoint presentation. A few of the organizations, such as the AGBU and Knights of Vartan have long histories, while others were developed following the earthquake and Armenia's independence to alleviate new problems, encourage self-sufficiency and strengthen ties with the diaspora.
All of the humanitarian and research projects represented were well received by the audience. In closing, Master of Ceremonies Edmond Azadian introduced Hagopian, who commended the participants for their commitment to Armenia. Hagopian added, "We are fortunate that the has prospered and it is now our obligation and privilege to provide aid to sustain our ancestral homeland."
A lavish reception chaired by Taleen Hagopian followed, where guests mingled with representatives of the featured organizations.
