    AGBU NEW YORK SPECIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE CONCLUDES EXCITING PREMIER
    SEASON

    Last Two Events Sold Out with New Activities in Progress

    New York - The AGBU New York Special Events Committee (NYSEC) recently
    joined together with the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club of America,
    where more than 75 supporters gathered for the annual Kips Bay
    Decorator Show House in Manhattan. This important fundraising event
    brought together area residents, Armenian and non-Armenian alike, in a
    show of support for the Boys and Girls Club of America. The sold out
    afternoon continued for NYSEC participants at the trendy restaurants
    JoJo and Barbaluc on the Upper East Side of New York City.

    In addition to the Kips Bay event, the recently initiated committee
    also hosted several other programs. During its inaugural event last
    fall, NYSEC gathered a sizeable number of guests for an afternoon tour
    and high tea at Caramoor in Katonah, New York. Winter outings for the
    group have included a day trip to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and a
    special luncheon at Becco's Restaurant, along with a lecture by
    Dr. George Bournoutian the following month.

    Entitled, Armenian History 101, Dr. Bournoutian's informative lecture
    was well received by a sold out NYSEC audience at the AGBU Central
    Office. The program was followed by a question and answer period and
    concluded with an afternoon reception.

    The NYSEC members have already begun to organize new events for the
    local community in the coming months, and anticipate another
    successful season. Details and dates for the September event will be
    announced shortly.

    Launched in 2003 by a dedicated group of AGBU volunteers, NYSEC seeks
    to promote a better understanding of both Armenian and American
    culture and history in New York City. NYSEC organizes activities that
    support AGBU membership and brings together Armenians in the local
    community. Those interested in joining the Committee or being placed
    on the mailing list should call the AGBU Central Office: 212.319.6383
    ext. 128.
