JUNIOR BRANCHES’ CONFERENCE On March 28, 1971, the UN WLA Regional Councils of New York, Newark and Philadelphia held a joint conference of UNWLA junior branches at the Ukrainian Institute of America in New York City. The purpose of the conference was to clarify and discuss the programs and working methods of UNWLA for the membership of the junior Branches. educational and cultural pro grams, musical events, festivals and exhibits. New York City offers myriads of opportunities for displaying our folk art, costumes and py sanky, as well as songs and dances; banks, libraries, air ports, museums, universities, parks, hospitals, galleries, utili ties (phone, gas, electric) and other major company buildings, department stores, fairs, festi vals and food or culinary shows, are ideal for exhibits and pro grams. Also to be considered are small receptions at which Ukrainian food could be served and at which American, foreign and various ethnic groups could be come acquainted with Ukrainian heritage and history. Naturally, each Soyuzanka can practice public relations in her individual contacts, her place of employment and in her local community in diverse ways. These are but a few ideas for public relations for the UNWLA New York City district, some of which could be utilized by other districts as well and many of which are of course being used successfully. Howerer, a district can succeed in its goals only with the cooperation and voluntary mobilization of its membership. Also, more understanding, plan ning, training, funding and rec ognition by the Ukrainian Amer ican public are prime prerequis ites for implementing any pub lic relations program. The road is not always an easy one, by any means, but the re wards can be significant. The conference attained its goal. Many young women attend ed. For the first time they were presented with the opportunity of meeting with the representa tives of UNWLA’s junior branches of the entire eastern seaboard. They met many friends and acquaintances they hadn’t seen since college, and jointly discussed their work in UNWLA, why some progress work for some Branches and not for others, and similar problems. Three excellent addresses were delivered in the course of the meeting. Mrs. Stephania Pushkar spoke on “Preparations for the UNWLA Convention,” Marta Trofymenko gave a talk entitled “We must move mountains,” and Dr. Bohdan Cymbalisty discuss ed “Civic maturity.” All the addresses touched on everyday problems encountered in our community life and offer ed realistic solutions to many of them. However, of primary in terest to the younger member ship of UNWLA were organiza tional problems, and some of these the conference helped to solve. The Conference also gave the younger membership an oppor tunity to meet with representa tives of the older UNWLA Branches. The positive result of such meetings is the opportunity presented to both groups of pre senting their views and exchang ing ideas. In this respect we consider the Conference to have been success ful. It is unfortunate that some of our older members still ques tion the need for the establish ment of junior Branches. Prac tical organizational work has shown the need for these Branches of which we now have 20. But that’s a topic for future discussion.
