UNWLA Chapter 37 Report cam paign was th e opportunity to b rin g a display of th e E a ste r egg p ro ject to th e Diam ond Jubilee Convention of A lpha Xi D elta in Sun Valley, June of 1968. E laine and several other m em bers of th e group illu strated th e ir p ro j ect to th e 500 wom en atten d in g th is national function. Schools in th e area have tak en an in te re st in th e U krainian egg p ro ject and a num ber of children have been exposed to th is new and d ifferen t a r t form . As th e pro g ram gains acceptance, m ore and m ore schools will become in volved. A t p resent, th e children of th e alum nae group are becom ing quite p roficient in coloring th e E a ste r eggs and are g e n e ra t ing a broader in te re st in th e p ro ject am ong th e ir schoolm ates. A ccording to Elaine, one of th e key reasons fo r p artic ip a tin g in such a p ro ject is th e satisfactio n gained from p assing along th e culture and trad itio n of an earli er age. By giving identification and substance to U krainian h is to ry and a rt, E laine hopes to do h e r p a rt in keeping h e r cultural h erita g e alive. “The rew ards fo r th is kind of activ ity are m any, b u t m y g re a t est pleasure comes from teaching som eone about m y aneesteral hom eland,” says Elaine, “I have fashioned a com plete w ardrobe of au th en tic U krain ian custom s, w hich are a delight to w ear on various occasions and especially useful w hen p artic ip a tin g in th e m any dem onstrations of th e E a ste r egg project. W e have sold m ore th a n 250 k its in th e la st tw o years, b u t I don’t count our p ro fits in m oney alone.” “B eing able to w ork w ith peo ple on a su b ject of m u tu al in te r est is rew ard enough fo r th e tim e and e ffo rt spent,” added E laine. The re s t of th e group is obvious ly in accord w ith E lain e’s philo sophy, and continue to build th e success of PR O JEC T EA ST E R EGG. E ric У.

September 7, 1969 Dear Members, Greetings from the Philippines! I had a good flight over. M y work is very interesting and challeng ing. T he most exciting part about it is that I was able to plan my own program of work. I am most happy about my position. 1 am responsible for curriculum, teacher supervision and for developing the teacher training program. I have a very lovely home and am busy furnishing it in Philip pine decor. 1 have a maid who lives with me. I have a gardener who comes once a month. A seamstress has been coming three times a week to make m>y draperies, bed spread, cushions and other furnish ings. W h en I get m y house all fur nished, then she will come to sew m y dresses. T he weather has been comfort able. It is tropical but I have ad justed immediately and have been in good health. Tuw weeks aoo I attended a O meeting with the Associate Dean of the Philippine W om en’s Univer sity. I will be attending some of the festival concerts with her in the new cultural center that is opening this week. M y very best wishes to all of you.
