ANCA-SFVE to host exclusive Community MixerOctober 24, 2012 - 12:43 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - On the evening of Oct 30, the East San Fernando Valley chapter of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA-SFVE) will host an exclusive Community Mixer in Studio City, California, where political officials, businesspersons, and community leaders will have an opportunity to meet and discuss issues pertaining to the local Armenian-American community, Asbarez reports. Home to tens of thousands of Armenian-American residents and hundreds of Armenian-American owned businesses, the eastern San Fernando Valley neighborhoods of North Hollywood, Studio City, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks and neighboring areas are fast becoming the hub of the greater Los Angeles City Armenian community. To meet the cultural, religious, educational, and social needs of the community, several longstanding institutions have established chapters in the eastern San Fernando Valley including the Armenian Cultural Foundation (ACF), Armenian Youth Federation (AYF) Armenian Relief Society, and the Armenian General Athletic Union (Homenetmen). Additionally, several churches, an Armenian school and even an Armenian charter school have been founded in the region. The ANCA-SFVE has worked diligently to organize the community and encourage civic engagement by promoting increased voter registration and participation among Armenian-Americans of the eastern San Fernando Valley, encouraging youth to participate in community affairs, and helping instill an increased sense of pride in community.
