    LOS ANGELES-The ANCA Grassroots Conference and the annual banquet
    brought together more than 1,400 supporters of the Armenian National
    Committee of America-Western Region for the weekend long conference
    and banquet being held at the Loews Hollywood Hotel and the adjacent
    Roy Dolby Ballroom.

    The weekend events kicked off Friday with the 2013 ANCA Grassroots
    Conference, which brought together artists, academics, legal experts
    and political officials for a three-day discussion of issues of
    importance to the pursuit of the Armenian Cause.

    ANCA Grassroots featured four panels-Film & Arts; Homeland-Diaspora;
    Western Armenia and Transnational Justice-and two workshops-Hye Votes
    and iZartonk. On Sunday, ANCA Grassroots hosted the groundbreaking
    Hye Tad Global Initiative, which brought together six ANC leaders
    from the Middle East, Armenia, Europe, Australia, South America and
    Canada who shared their perspectives live via Google Hangouts linking
    the global Hye Tad efforts via the internet.

    This year's ANCA-WR Annual Banquet was held at the Roy Dolby Ballroom,
    home to the Academy Awards Governor's Ball and featuring a special
    menu by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.

    The ANCA-WR honored Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti with its "Man
    of the Year" award; Primate of the Diocese of Artsakh, Archbishop
    Parkev Martirosyan with its "Khrimian Hayrig" Award; legendary coach
    Jerry Tarkanian with its "People's Champion" Award; California State
    Assemblyman Khatcho Achajian with its "Legislator of the Year" Award;
    Ara Soudjian with its "Vahan Cardashian" Award; and Manas Boujikian
    with its coveted "Legacy" Award.

    Last week the ANCA-WR announced the Ghailian family as the 2013
    ANCA-WR Annual Banquet sponsor.

    "Philanthropy is a cornerstone of the Ghailian family which includes
    Mr. and Mrs. Charles and Julia Ghailian, Mr. and Mrs. Carlo and
