This lecture investigates the desirability and practicality of uniting the Armenians of Southern California by creating a central body, called "The Council". Representatives from all groups and religious, benevolent, cultural and political organizations will be invited to form the Council. An outline of the most practical course of action is presented and a strategic plan is briefly discussed to achieve the objectives.
The personal involvement of the Southern California Armenian community leaders is solicited and their direct recruitment is sought, to join in the work towards making the long time dream of having a united Armenian body become a reality, one step at a time.

This is about how, but Why? Why do we need such an organization? The philosophical bases for the need for such an organization has to be worked out first before the practicalities of setting up an organization.
