On September 28, 2025 Bro. Ara Malazian volunteered on the serving line and at supplying the grill at the Annual Ararat Home Picnic. The Ararat Home Picnic is a Los Angeles Triple X Chapter tradition that goes back generations. Bro. Ara attended the picnics as a child when the Ararat Home was still in Hollywood and remembers how much the residents would enjoy seeing the children of the next generation, often becoming emotional knowing that the Armenian People would go on for at least one more generation. Thankfully there have been more generations since then! The Los Angeles Brothers led by Bro. Michael Surmeian worked hard all day ensuring the Picnic was a success and PGM Vaughn Vartanian and his Band provided some great entertainment to go along with the great food!
