HOW THE ANI GUILD CARRIES ON A LEGACY

The Ani Guild has been service-driven and hands-on since the beginning. We’re responsible for holiday decorations, celebrations, and festivals for every season and month, as well as hosting regular bingo and craft nights at CAH. Our big annual fundraiser is held in May at our pavilion.

MARY EKMALIAN
WHAT MAKES THE HOME GUILD SPECIAL

What is so special about the Home Guild is that it is made up of a cross-section of Armenian women from the San Joaquin Valley whose purpose is to service the Home through fundraising projects, like making and selling kufta and hosting periodic lunches to the general public to advance good public relations.
