    Western Diocese of the Armenian Church *Diocesan Council
    Chairman Joseph Kanimian Participates in the 92nd Annual
    Meeting of the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles as
    Board Member*

    On Friday, June 27, 2008, Western Diocesan Council Chairman
    and Board member of the American Red Cross of Greater Los
    Angeles, Joseph Kanimian, Esq. attended the 92nd Annual
    meeting of ARC of Greater Los Angeles. The meeting/luncheon
    and celebration of the spirit of Partnerships was held at
    the California Endowment Center, Yosemite Room in downtown
    Los Angeles.



    The guest speaker during the meeting was James G.
    Featherstone, the General Manager of the Emergency
    Management Department for the City of Los Angeles.
    L.A’s Emergency Management Department works with Los
    Angeles Fire Department, Los Angeles Police Department and
    other law enforcement and emergency management agencies to
    prevent and respond to natural, man-made and technological
    disasters. Mr. Featherstone spoke about the city’s
    disaster preparedness and volunteer network. He praised all
    those who help the ARC of Greater Los Angeles.



    The main speaker during the luncheon was Los Angles police
    chief William Bratton, who spoke about the partnership
    between the LAPD and the people of Los Angeles for the
    betterment of our city and communities. Chief Bratton
    emphasized the importance of this partnership and stressed
    the need for better cooperation between all city and county
    agencies to face any and all emergencies and disasters.



    Following the meeting, volunteers and board members who had
    provided five years of service or more to the ARC of Greater
    Los Angeles were recognized and acknowledged by Board
    Chairman Edmond Lelo and CEO Paul Schulz.



    Joseph Kanimian who continues serving on the Board of
    Directors, is also on the Development Committee of the ARC
    of Greater Los Angeles. The Western Diocese has been helping
    the ARC of Greater Los Angles by collecting contributions
    from the faithful and allocating the funds for ARC’s
    disaster relief efforts.



    Once again, we urge the faithful of the Western Diocese to
    support the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles by
    sending their contributions to the Western Diocese earmarked
    as donations to the ARC.

    America, providing spiritual guidance and leadership to the
