    The Armenian Relief Society of Western USA in Glendale is celebrating
    its 30th anniversary with three days of events, starting on Friday.

    Founded in 1984, the organization provides assistance to needy
    individuals and communities. In addition to offering local
    social-service programs, the group has played a large role in
    fundraising efforts for Armenians affected by the civil war in Syria.

    The celebration is set to kick off with a gala at 7 p.m. at the
    Taglyan Cultural Center, 1201 Vine St. in Los Angeles. The event will
    highlight the organization's decades of service as well as honor
    several individuals key to the nonprofit. The Glendale Chamber
    Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Michael Avedissian, is set to perform.
    Tickets are $125 per person.

    On Saturday, the nonprofit is scheduled to host a free seminar
    covering topics such as Armenian Genocide education in the public
    school system, repatriation and personal stories of survival. The
    seminar will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Glendale Hilton,
    100 W. Glenoaks Blvd.

    Lastly, the society will host a beach-side lunch from 11 a.m. to 4
    p.m. on Sunday at the Sky Room, 40 S. Locust Ave. in Long Beach. The
    lunch costs $75 per person.
