SCHOLARSHIP FUND In February 1968 Chapter 37 of UNWLA and the Seattle East Group Alumnae of Alpha XI Delta National Sorority present ed a donation to the Scholarship Fund of the UNWLA. As the enclosed letter, written by Mrs. Myrtle Slaby, Branch 37 Corr. Secretary, indicated, the money came from the proceeds of East- or egg decoration kits that Elaine Keryluk Austin and her Chapter of AXA Sorority pre pared and sold. Elaine Keryluk Austin is the daughter of the late Mary Dro- homersky Keryluk, past treasur. er of Chapter 37 and the letter writer’s sister. She received her B.A. from Michigan State Uni versity and is currently teaching in Seattle as well as working for her Master’s Degree in art at the University of Washington. While in high school and college she participated in many Chapter 37 projects. We are very proud of this young American-born woman of Ukrainian ancestry who now re sides in the state of Washing ton. Although there are no Ukrainian women’s organiza tions in Washington, the love for and the desire to share her cul tural heritage found fruition in a cultural project in her Amer ican women’s organization. She taught her sorority sisters how to create “pysanky.” The wom en decided to demonstrate the “pysanka” art and sell egg-dec orating kits at their National Convention. So Elaine wrote to Michigan for help. Instructions translated from OUR LIFE and materials for making a Ukrain ian costume for Elaine, equip ment for making egg-decorating kits, and exquisite eggs created by Maria Drohomersky for ex hibit purposes were airmailed to Seattle. All spring Elaine and her sorority sisters demonstrat ed the Easter egg art in public and parochial schools, a de partment store and at meetings of various women’s organiza tions. By convention time they had lots of practice. At the Con vention, which was held at As- A DONATION TO THE pen, Colorado in July, 1968, their cultural project was the most outstanding presented. Elaine and her sorority pre sented a check of $25.00 to our organization to show their ap preciation for the help that members of Chapter 37 gave them in acquiring Ukrainian art materials and background for their cultural project. Since both the UNWLA and AXA give scholarships to students of jour nalism, it seemed fitting that the check be presented to the scholarship fund. This project was also men tioned in the “Bainbridge Re view,” a Seattle paper in its Aug. 7, 1968 issue. The article included a description of the old Ukrainian tradition of Easter egg painting with a picture of Mrs. Elain Keryluk Austin at work. Mrs. Austin’s successful en deavor proves that women of Ukrainian descent can spread in formation about our ancient cul ture in all parts of the USA and by different means. Mrs. Elaine Keryluk Austin found an excel lent way to do it. UKRAINIAN DISHES Easter Babka Уг cup lukew arm w ater 2 pgs. yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 2 cups scalded m ilk Уг lb. butter 1 tablespoon salt flour to m ake soft dough, about 7 cups or m ore 1 cup sugar 5 w hole eggs 10 yolks 1 orange juice and rind 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup golden seedless raisins (op tional) Dissolve the sugar in lukewarm water; sprinkle the yeast over it; let stand 10 minutes Beat the eggs and the egg yolks for 10 minutes adding the sugar a little at a time.

Let rise in a warm place un til the dough barely reaches the top Put in a preheated oven 350° F and bake for 30 minutes. Babka should be handled very carefully when being taken out of the containers and should be laid on a soft covered cusnion to cool.
