ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY CELEBRATES OPENING OF WESTERN REGION OFFICE IN
PASADENA, CA
Pasadena, CA - Armenian-American community leaders and supporters joined
the Armenian Assembly of America in celebrating the official opening of
its new Western Region Office in Pasadena, California, home to more than
25,000 Armenian-Americans and represented by Congressman Adam Schiff
(D-CA).
The Assembly hosted an open house on August 11th to welcome members of
the community to the new office, located in a 1930's historic building
in Old Town Pasadena. Special guests included Armenian Consul General
Armen Liloyan and Reverend Khoren Babouchian, representing Archbishop
Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate of the Western Prelacy of the Armenian
Apostolic Church. The offices of Congressmen Schiff and Brad Sherman
(D-CA), California State Senator Jack Scott (D-Pasadena) and California
State Assembly Member Paul Krekorian (D-Glendale) were also represented.
Representatives from the following organizations were also on hand:
Armenian Council of America, Armenian Democratic Liberal Organization,
California Armenia Trade Office and Social Democratic Hnchakian Party.
"We wish you continued success in your new location," Liloyan told
guests. "We are sure that this will enable the Armenian Assembly to
accomplish even more for Armenian-Americans and Armenia. On behalf of
the Armenian Government, we appreciate the work of the Armenian Assembly
and we look forward to continued cooperation."
"We look forward to continuing to serve the Armenian community in the
Western United States and the Republic of Armenia from our base in
Pasadena," said Richard Mushegain, chairman of the Assembly's Western
Region Office and a member of the Board of Trustees.
The Assembly's Western Office was previously located in Beverly Hills.
The new office is located at 16 N. Marengo Avenue, Suite 305, Pasadena,
CA 91101. To contact the office, please call 626-577-0025.
Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly is the largest

membership organization.
