On November 5th, our Branch 10 invites everyone for a workshop on the making of Didukh. Here are our top 5 reasons to attend and support:
#5
Didukh, traditionally made of straw and lavishly decorated, is an authentic symbol of Christmas in Ukrainian culture. Our ancestors believed it brought a festive mood, peace, prosperity, and comfort to a home.
#4
Didukh is made of wheat and positive energy. As with any creative activity, attending this master class gives you not only an authentic piece of Ukrainian Christmas decor but also a chance to decompress after a work week and meet inspired and kind-hearted Ukrainian women.
#3
You don’t have to scavenge for straws to bring with you! Your $60 ticket gives everything you need to spend a delightful Saturday morning: wheat, decorations, snacks, and coffee to recharge your batteries while making Didukh. It also gives you a chance to try your luck. Each ticket enters the raffle to win a famous Ukrainian stamp with an infamous russian warship.
#2
You’ll meet members of UNWLA Branch 10 and your teacher Iryna Buczkowski, a member of UNWLA Branch 67. We wholeheartedly support such collaboration between our Branches and are truly inspired by their example!
#1
Attending this event, you donate funds to help a young man continue living a fulfilling and independent life.
