The commemorative gala will honor the ten original founders of the Hovnanian school[/caption]
A commemorative gala will be held at the Rockleigh Country Club to honor the ten original founding members. The program will also include an acknowledgment of Dr. Gregory T. Simonian who dedicated five years of his life serving as Chairman.
The guest of honor will be a Bulgarian native, Mr. Aso Tavitian, the former CEO of Syncsort and also the founder of the Tavitian Foundation. He spent many years being involved with philanthropy in education and the arts. Tavitian graduated with a Master of Science degree in Nuclear Engineering from Columbia University and established his foundation in honor of one of his teachers who made anonymous financial contributions toward his education. The kind gesture was so moving that he wanted to the same for others one day.
