GLENDALE--The Armenian Cultural Foundation Youth Center groundbreaking
ceremony will take place on Sunday, December 16 at 1:30 p.m. at the
site of the center.
The project, which has been in the planning stages since 2004 and is
adjacent to Glendale St. Mary's Church, has received the necessary
permits from City of Glendale.
ACF Glendale chapter believes that the youth center will go a long
way in addressing the critical needs of the Armenian youth in the city
and will serve as a meeting place for Armenian youth for after-school
activities and other programs.
"We are very excited and are anticipating the opening of the center,
in order to launch educational, cultural and athletic programs directed
to the youth," said Glendale Armenian Youth Federation Roupen chapter
president Meghedi Babakhian.
"There were several obstacles in the way bringing this project to
fruition," said Neshan Peroomian, the building construction committee
president adding there were further obstacles in constructing this
building in Glendale, given its contemporary architectural design
and structure.
Peroomian added, however, the amenities in the building will ensure
that the center will truly become a valuable addition for the youth
of Glendale.
"The center is also very important for the St. Mary's church, since we
would be able to hold Sunday School classes there. The Church currently
has a significant number of participants, but our current amenities
prevent us from carrying out some activities. We hope that this center
will enable us to increase the number of in our Sunday School program,"
remarked St. Mary's parish priest Rev. Vazken Atmadjian.
The Armenian Relief Society Sepan Chapter president Knar Avedissian
welcomed the construction of this center, adding that the Youth Center
will allow the ARS chapter to have its own offices, classrooms for
the Saturday School and other activites.
The ACF Youth Center is located at 213-215 West Chestnut Stree,
between Central and Brand boulevards.
The public is encouraged to attend this event.
