C O N F E R E N C E On June 25 and 26, th e W orld F ederation of U krainian W om en’s O rganizations is sponsoring a Conference in C uritiba, Brazil. M em bers of W FUW O and dele gates from U krainian W om en’s groups in B razil, A rg en tin a and Venezuela will attend. W e are indeed proud and h ap py to announce to our read ers th a t du rin g th e p a st y ear we have been joined by tw o E nglish speaking U N W LA B ranches. B ranch 32 in N ew ark, N. J., headed by M rs. D orothy Lozo- w yj, joined our ran k s in F eb ru a ry of th is year. The o ther B oard m em bers a re: M rs. M ar lene B ratach, V ice-Pres., M rs. M ary Rohow sky, S e c re ta ry ; M rs. M ary Tofel, T reasu rer, and Miss A nn D ubas, O rganization al C hairm an. B ranch 80 w as founded origin ally in 1966 as an auxiliary of UNW LA B ranch 76. I t elected its own officers and conducted its m eetings independently of B ranch 76. In A pril of th is y ear th e au xiliary m em bers an nounced th e ir w ish to become an independent U N W LA B ranch. A fte r incorporation into th e U N W LA th e new B ranch 80 in W arren, Mich, began w ork under its president, M rs. Louise Saks. The fa c t th a t our O rganiza tion has grow n by th e addition of th ese tw o B ranches fills us w ith joy and hope. In th e past, m a tte rs had tak en a serious tu rn w ith our E nglish language B ranches. Some w ere dw indling in m em bership; others curtailed th e ir activities. M rs. A n astasia Volker, UNWTLA Vice P resid en t and counselor to th e E nglish lan guage B ranches, undertook a p riv ate survey to determ ine th e reasons fo r th is obvious lack of in te re st on th e p a rt of th ese B ranches in th e U N W LA H er findings w ere not as bleak as had appeared a t firs t. She found th a t th e U N W LA offered th e E nglish language B ranches m uch in th e form of organiza tional and com m unity in terests and activities. A num ber of th ese UNW LA B ranches had found U N W LA activities of special in te re st to th em and had developed th em to su it th e ir own p artic u la r needs. F o r exam ple, B ranch 37 in De tro it h as u n d ertaken a num ber of in tere stin g p ro jects in th e field of folk a rt, w hile B ranch 72 in New Y ork sponsors m usic- ales to p resen t talen ted young p erfo rm ers to th e U krainian- A m erican public. A m erican-born m em bers of still o th er U N W LA B ranches do tim ely and m uch-needed public relations work. These ladies in clude M rs. A nne W asylow sky of B ranch 22, M rs. K ath erin e Ku- zuw of B ranch 65, and M rs. Glo ria Paprocky of B ranch 73. W e are sure th a t w ith a little fo reth o u g h t and in itiativ e m any o th er E nglish-speaking U N W LA m em bers can also fin d th e ir niche in th is organization. It w as, th erefo re, a special pleas ure to welcome th e tw o new B ranches in th e UNW LA , and to learn th a t th e ir m em bers w ere genuinely in terested in its w ork and w ished to develop th e ir cultu ral and civic in tere sts w ithin its fram ew ork. M rs. D orothy Lozow yj, P resi dent of B ranch 32 in N ew ark is a th ird gen eratio n U N W LA m em ber. H er g ran dm o ther is a m em ber of B ranch 28. H er m other, also a fo rm er m em ber of B ranch 28, h as tra n sfe rre d to th e new B ranch. M rs. Louise Saks, P resid en t of B ranch 80 in W arren, M ichigan, inspired a group of wom en to form an independent U N W LA B ranch. O ther poten tial E nglish-speak ing m em bers can also be encour aged to join th e O rganization of th e ir m o th ers and grandm others. T hey can join th e U N W LA eith er as auxiliary or independent B ranches. Once in th e organiza tion th ey can undoubtedly find th e ir special place in its stru c tu re and activ ity range.
