    Burbank, CA (March 5) - The AGBU Hye Geen and the Western Diocese of

    Contemporary Trends - on Saturday, March 27, 2004 from 9:30 a.m. to
    4:00 p.m. at the Western Diocese in Burbank, California.

    The forum will bring together speakers from various generations,
    backgrounds and professions to present and discuss current issues
    affecting the lives of Armenian women.

    His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the Western

    The afternoon session (1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.) will offer participants
    the choice of one of three workshops: `Interaction of Women and Men at
    Home, in Society and the Workplace,' `Women Facing the New
    Generation,' and `Education and Leadership Empowering Women.' The

    3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

    Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. The Western Diocese of the Armenian
