President welcome students back
By Jacqueline Sislian
ASO President
Welcome back! Hope everyone is
looking forward to an exciting semester with the CSUF Armenian
Students Oragnization.
The group has already started the
semester off with two major events.
The first was a picnic held in early
September at O'Neil park on campus.
Twenty-five new and old members were
in attendance. All who attended enjoyed talking, eating submarine,
sandwiches, and playing tavloo.
The next event was our biggest
fundraiser: It was the International
Food Expo (formerly Passport Fresno)
held September 22-24 in me Fulton
Mall. A shish-kebob plate mat included salad and peda bread was sold to
the public. The weekend was a great
way to meet new friends and help out
the club.
Aiso, during the summer the
organization entered two volleyball
teams in the Western Armenian
Athletic Association's Summer Games.

First Armenian Country
Club Opens in Fresno
By Satenig Ohannessian
Staff Writer
The newest accomplishment by
Armenians in the Central Valley is the
purchasing of the first Armenian
country club.
The Armenian Cultural Foundation,
a non-profit organization, opened the
ACF Sunnyside Community Center on
June 18,1989.
The ACF Center, located at 5707 E.
Balch Ave. in Fresno, is open to all
Armenians.
"The ACF Sunnyside Community
Center was brought about by years and
years of dreaming" said Yerevan
Ohannessian, general manager of the
ACF Center and a CSUF Business
Administration graduate. He added,
"When the Armenians first came into
the valley, they were highly
discriminated against and one of these
discriminations was that Armenians
couldn't enter country cluos. Through
the Indus triousncss of the Armenians,
we have today the ACF Sunnyside
Community Center."
The ACF Center has a wide variety
of facilities to offer.
The country club, totaling five
acres, has a clubhouse, snackbar,
lounge area, bar, three swimming
pools, an aerobics room, weight
room, and six tennis courts. A tanning bed, men's and women's saunas, a
masseuse for your daily stress, and a
day care are also available.
The ACF Sunnyside Community
Center has special activities too.
These activities include Armenian
dance lessons by the Arax Dancers of
Fresno, water aerobics, Monday night
football, Saturday afternoon World
Cup soccer, and even scuba diving
lessons.
"This has been a reality where any
Armenian can come and participate in
activities ranging from playing tavloo
with other Armenians to learning the
Armenian language," said Ohannessian.
Christina Tusan, a club member,
really enjoys the center.
"I joined because they have really
nice facilities and I think it's a good
opportunity to learn more about my
Armenian culture."
If you wish to obtain more information about the ACF Sunnyside
Community Center call (209) 456-

By Paulette Kasparian
Editor
The sun was beating through the
trees onto the pavement as thousands
of people, with forks in their hands,
were hastily scrambling from booth to
booth anxious to taste a little
international cuisine.
The scene just described was that of
the annual Fresno International Food
Exposition held September 22-24, on
the downtown Fulton Mall.
The weekend offers a way for the
various ethnic groups in the Central
Valley to gather, sharing with the
public their customs, traditions and
famous dishes.
The CSUF Armenian Students
Organization took up one of the four
outdoor booths in the Armenia section
of the Food Exposition.
The ASO prepared close to 175 lbs.
of shish kebob and served it with peda
bread and salad to the public. Hundreds
of people purchased the $4 plate and
ate it under a canopy provided by the
group.
Many ASO members took shifts
working in the boom for the three-day
event.
"Young Armenian youths working
together as one is a good experience
for working together in the future,"
said Jon Philip Maroot, an ASO
member.
The Fresno International Food
Exposition, formerly known as
Passport Fresno, began four years age.
It is now being co-sponsored by the
