The Consulate General of Armenia in Los Angeles, in collaboration with the Armenian International Women’s Association, on International Women’s Day organized a luncheon reception in the consulate’s backyard to honor a few deserving women.
Among the honorees was Dr. Ellie Andreassian, who volunteers as Curriculum Director and Education Council Chairperson for the Saturday Schools of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church of North America.

The information shared about Dr. Andreassian at the event prompted me to learn more about her work. I scheduled an appointment to meet with her at her home in Glendale.
Upon arriving at her residence, she greeted me outside and invited me in. The living room, where she ushered me through, had a typical Armenian setup of traditional style furnishing.
