The theme of the Congress A SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL EVENT The gala Dinner-Dance at the Americana Hotel, arranged by UNWLA Branch 72 in New York City on May 7, 1966, attracted a sell-out crowd that included the younger and older members of the Ukrainian community. During the Dinner Branch of ficers and prominent guests were introduced. The proceeds from the affair were designated for three deserving causes: the UNWLA Scholarship Fund, the National Welfare Fund of the Ukrainian American Veterans and the Ukrainian “Sitchovi Striltsi.” One of the highlights of the evening was a raffle which fea tured many valuable prizes in cluding a 5-day excursion to Washington and Williamsburg, sponsored by the Kowbasniuk Agency, which was won by Mrs. M. Terranova of Brooklyn, N. Y. Cream the melted butter until frothy and blend with chestnut puree.

Ukrainian women’s organizations took part in this undertaking by sending in a number of completed ques tionnaires. A more detailed report on the Congress and the resolutions which were adopted will be in cluded in our next issue. A leader does not say “Get going!” Instead, a leader says “Let’s go!” and leads the way. A leader does not walk behind with a whip but is out in front with a banner. 2 6 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ — ГРУДЕНЬ, 1966 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
