GLENDALE, Calif.—To commemorate the ARS centenary in 2010, a centennial logo has been created. This new logo will be used in all 26 countries where the ARS has regions and chapters. The Regional Executive Board of the ARS of Western U.S. will be the host of the logo unveiling ceremony, under the auspices of the ARS Central Executive Board.
The logo unveiling ceremony will be held on Nov. 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the ARS of Western U.S. Regional Headquarters, 517 West Glenoaks Blvd. in Glendale, Calif. This by-invitation-only red carpet event will provide a preview to those events, which will be hosted by other ARS entities on various continents.
“We are very pleased that our region is hosting the ARS centennial logo unveiling ceremony. This is our chance to share our passion for service locally and globally,” said Sossie Poladian, chair of the Regional Executive Board of the ARS of Western U.S.
She added, “The essence of service by the ARS has not changed. We continue to adapt to provide compassionate culturally sensitive services.”
The ARS was founded in New York City in 1910, and the first ARS chapters in the west were in Fresno and Los Angeles. The ARS of Western U.S.A., Inc. became a separate entity from the East Coast and Canada in 1984, with established headquarters in Glendale.
The Western U.S. continues to make a difference locally and globally to assist those in need. The social services offices and Child, Youth, and Family Guidance Center offer culturally sensitive services to help guide those seeking help to resolve their personal issues, adapt to their new environments, and become more productive members of society.
Centennial celebrations planned for the year 2010 are a chance for ARS members and supporters to come together as one big family, to collectively remember those who came and passed leaving a legacy, and to pull their strength together to embark on new paths for the next century.
