    THE ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY HOSTS SUCCESSFUL FASHION PRESENTATION IN FLORIDA

    Raises Over $20,000 for Assembly Programs, Initiatives

    Boynton Beach, FL - The Armenian Assembly of America's Southeast
    Regional Council raised over $20,000 for Assembly programs when it
    hosted "Runway 2008," a fashion presentation and luncheon in Boynton
    Beach, Florida.

    Longtime Assembly Member Mary Atamian chaired the event held at the
    Quail Ridge Country Club in February. More than 180 Members and guests
    enjoyed lunch and participated in a silent auction in addition to the
    main event. The fashion show featured woman's fashions from various
    boutiques in the Palm Beaches and men's fashions from the Quail Ridge
    Pro Shop. Former fashion and photography model, Rose Meyerowich,
    served as fashion coordinator and commentator.

    "We greatly appreciate the time and effort that the Armenian Assembly
    dedicates to advocating our issues year round, and are pleased to hold
    this fundraiser to support the organization's ongoing work," said
    Atamian.

    In addition to Atamian, this year's event planning committee included
    Kay Arakelian, Rose Asserian, Seta Baldalian, Ida M. Boodakian, Mary
    Der Vartanian, June Hatfield, Shirley Kezirian, Melanie Krikorian,
    Lucille Manuelian, Carol Norigian, Lucy Shooshanian, Deanna Stepanian,
    Diane Tashjian, Nathalie Yaghoobian, and Berjouhi Zakarian.

    "Each year this event proves to be a great success," said Board of
    Trustees Development Committee Co-Chair Lu Ann Ohanian. "The Assembly
    thanks Mary Atamian, Carol Norigian, and the Members of the planning
    committee for their hard work and dedication to the Armenian cause."

    Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
    Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public
    understanding and awareness of Armenian issues.  It is a 501(c)(3)
    tax-exempt membership organization.
