PROPOSED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MEMORIAL PROJECT WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE
PASADENA CITY COUNCIL

Pasadena, CA, August 12, 2013: In couple of years, Armenians all
over the world will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of the
first genocide of the 20th century when 1.5 million Armenians were
massacred. To keep the memory of 1.5 million Armenians alive, 166
memorial monuments have been erected in 33 countries worldwide. Those
who erected the monuments want the history to stay alive and the
people of the world to be informed of that barbaric event.

The Armenian community in Pasadena wanted to bring their share in the
commemoration effort. The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial
Committee has planned a very impressive memorial to be constructed in
Pasadena Memorial Park by 2015, with adequate informational
inscriptions about the genocide.

On July 16, 2013, the Recreation and Parks Commission unanimously
approved the proposed design by Catherine Menard, a student at the
Pasadena Art Center College of Design.
The City of Pasadena has scheduled the City Council hearing for
September 9th for the review and approval of the memorial design. The
meeting will be held at:

Council Chamber
Pasadena City Hall
100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249
6:30 pm.

We ask that our Community members attend the City Council hearing and
show support of the proposed memorial project.

Please check our web-site at PASAGMC.ORG and our Facebook page at
PASAGMC, to be acquainted with the Committee members, the details of
the project, and information on upcoming events.

/The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee is a 501(c)3
tax-exempt non-profit organization./
