    2008 AGBU Plovdiv Student Soiree Attracts 100 Youth

    On November 29, 2008, AGBU Plovdiv organized its thirteenth annual
    Armenian Student Soiree, which was attended by a hundred people from
    across Bulgaria, including members of YP Plovdiv. The event took place
    at the Finesse Restaurant in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

    Present were Archpriest Der Kevork Khacheryan, Bulgarian National
    Assembly Representative Dr. Roupen Krikorian, and AGBU Plovdiv leaders.

    The program included music, dancing, games, a raffle and special
    humorous awards, which brought a great deal of levity to the evening's
    activities. An annual tradition, the Plovdiv Student Soiree also
    recognizes the importance of youth in the chapter's activities, while
    also handing out scholarships for well-deserving students. AGBU Plovdiv
    chairman Roupen Chavoushian and Edouard Arsenian along with longtime
    supporters of youth initiatives were invited to cut the ceremonial cake.

    Organizers were particularly encouraged by the great turnout of students
    from the neighboring cities of Haskovo, Dobrich, Kardjali, and Sliven.

    Established in 1906, AGBU (www.agbu.org) is the world's largest
    non-profit Armenian organization. Headquartered in New York City, AGBU
    preserves and promotes the Armenian identity and heritage through
    educational, cultural and humanitarian programs, annually touching the
    lives of some 400,000 Armenians on six continents.

    With reporting by Mari Doganyan in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
