Soyuz Ukrainok Branch 72, one of the newest branches in the UNWLA, is looking forward to another season of activities to start in September.

Members met on August 15 for a Ukrainian “luau” at the home of Mrs. Celia Saranoff in Ridgewood, N. J. Those who will serve as hostesses during “Uk rainian Day” on August 29 in the New York State Pavilion at the World’s Fair discussed their duties for that occasion.
