    SHUSHI'S CONTRIBUTION TO ARMENIA FUND

    On Friday, November 21, 2008, an elegant and intimate dinner reception
    took place at the home of Mr. Andreas Roubian, in Saddle River, New
    Jersey. The guests of honor were H.E. Mr. Bako Sahakyan, President
    of the Republic of Karabagh, and His Eminence Pargev Martirosyan,
    The Primate of Karabakh. Mr. Roubian was one of the founders of
    the Karabagh Committee, which became a reality in 1992 at this very
    location.

    During the tumultuous times in Nagorno-Karabagh, when Armenians all
    over the globe came together in order to provide aid to our people
    and soldiers fighting courageously for our lands, the Shushi Dance
    Ensemble, very young at the time, did not miss any opportunity
    to support the fundraising efforts of the Karabagh Relief Fund,
    by engaging the guests through patriotic songs and dance at every
    event. Soon after, the group adopted the name "Shushi Armenian Dance
    Ensemble" after the liberation of the ancient capital city of "Shushi".

    The highlight of the evening was a surprise performance by Shushi Dance
    Ensemble of St. Vartan Cathedral, NY. After performing for the guests,
    the beautiful and graceful dancers presented a check in the amount
    of $2000.00 to the Armenia Fund's 11th International Telethon. The
    president of Karabagh thanked the group and its Artistic Director
    and Choreographer, Mrs. Seta Paskalian-Kantardjian, for this very
    generous donation. The Chairman of Armenia Fund, Mr. Raffi Festekjian,
    thanked the dancers who volunteered their time for the Phonaton in NYC,
    and also for their contribution to this year's fundraising efforts.

    Shushi's next performance will be on the beautiful Costa Fortuna
    cruise ship during the Armenian Heritage Cruise XII, sailing January
    11-18, 2009. The ensemble will have 2 spectacular performances
    featuring famous vocalists from Los Angeles Hovig Krikorian and Armen
    Hovanessyan, along with musical director Andranik Mouradian.
