ARMENIAN HOME GUILD LUNCH CELEBRATING 65 YEARS
Benefiting California Armenian Home
The Armenian Home Guild Lunch Celebrating 65 years took place on Saturday, April 13th at the Armenian American Citizens League (AACL) Grand Ballroom. Roughly 96 to 100 attendees came out to celebrate for the benefit of California Armenian Home. The luncheon itself raised $3,000. There was a display of photos and bios of the nine founders. Out of the nine Charter (1958) Board members, four of them—Lillie Karabian, Beatrice Sobajian, Elizabeth Varteresian, and Rose Kiramidjian—had family attend from as far north as San Jose and as far south as Lemoore. A short history was presented of the California Armenian Home and the Armenian Home Guild, which is the first aid organization to serve the Home. Pianist Nora Agulian, trained at the Armenian Conservatory, performed selections from Armenian composers. Friends and relatives had the opportunity to get reacquainted while enjoying a traditional Armenian buffet lunch. The event closed with purchasing kufta (Armenian meatballs), the main fundraiser for the Armenian Home Guild.
