Florida Event Benefits Armenian Assembly Programs, Initiatives
Boynton Beach, FL - More than 200 Assembly supporters from across the
United States and several from the United Kingdom gathered in Boynton
Beach, Florida, on February 10 for the Runway 2007 fashion show and
luncheon hosted by the Armenian Assembly's Southeast Regional Council.
The event, chaired by longtime Assembly Member Mary Atamian and Ida
Boodakian, featured the latest men's and women's fashions from the
finest boutiques in Palm Beach. Assembly Members were featured as models
for the men's fashions. Members and guests enjoyed an extraordinary
afternoon while supporting Assembly programs and initiatives in
Washington, Los Angeles and Yerevan that promote issues of importance to
the Armenian-American community.
"The work that the Assembly does is greatly appreciated by the Armenian
community, and we are pleased to hold this fundraiser to support the
organization's ongoing work," said Atamian. "We extend our special
thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Shooshanian for their generous support and
for securing Quail Ridge Country Club for this special event."
The afternoon began with a silent auction which included paintings,
rugs, gift baskets and fine jewelry. There was also a live auction for
items donated by Assembly supporters including a getaway package with
two tickets to any show at Jujamcyn Theaters courtesy of Daniel Adamian
and two nights hotel stay at the "W" Hotel in New York, two tickets to
the owners box at Fenway Park courtesy of Edward Eskandarian, and two
tickets to see BB King perform in Boston courtesy of Edward Atamian.
"The Assembly thanks Mary Atamian, Ida Boodakian and Carol Norigian, and
the members of the committee for their hard work in organizing such a
successful event," said Development Committee Co-Chair Lu Ann Ohanian.
"The Assembly is grateful for their support."

Vartanian, Araxie Kazarian, Agnes Killabian, Lucille Manuelian, Carol
Norigian, Lucy Shooshanian, Deanna Stepanian, Diane Tashjian, and
