OUR LIFE M O NTH LY, 'published by' Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Vol. XXXI. FEBRUARY, 1974 No. 2 50th Anniversary A 50th anniversary is a grand occasion in any sphere of life. It brings rem iniscences of past tr i umphs and sorrows, and good w ishes for the future. So it will be for the UNW LA when, the 17th Convention on November 29, 30—December 1, 1974, we be gin our 50th Jubilee Year 1975. In its long, active existence the UNW LA had a steady though small influx of American born members. Some formed indi vidual English-speaking branch es, others followed their m others and friends into existin g Ukrain- ian-speaking branches. Despite a language difficulty, th e A m eri can Soyuzanky have over the past years worked diligently and (persistently to carry out the aims and purposes of th e U N W LA. Their pride in their heritage overcame th e unpopularity of “foreign” as opposed to “Am er ican,” long before the days of ethnic consciousness and the breakdown of th e m elting pot theory. The contributions of the A m er ican Soyuzanky in the coming years will be of greater impor tance than ever. D espite years of inform ing the general public th a t Ukrainian is not Russian, we still see th e same error in print, even in th e N ek York Times. The attention o f th e United States citizen is b e ing drawn to the true na ture of the USSR. But a great deal remains to be done th a t can best be accomplished through personal contact. This is an area th a t is tailor-m ade for those American UN W LA m em bers who are active in their im m ediate comm unities — in wom en’s clubs, PT A ‘s, political party comm ittees, etc. UNW LA has been a member of National Council of the Feder ation of Women’s Clubs for many years. The opportunities afford ed by th e se memberships has not been fully realized in the past because of a lack of UNW LA E nglish speaking representatives who had the tim e and the inter est in women’s clubs. Both pres tigious organizations are n a tionally known and wield consid erable influence in m any spheres. The fir st day of the M eet ing was devoted to treasurer and chairmen reports, Bylaws amendment (change in com m it tee title s), election of nom inat ing com m ittee (list presented by President and approved by those present), and NCW conclusions onl th e Vienna ICW Triennia M eeting — where NCW had a 16 member delegation — two m em bers addressed the Plenary S es sion and other members took part in Standing Committee m eetings. Mrs. Schary, immedi ate P ast President o f NCW was elected a Vice President of ICW and Mrs. Parsons was named to th e ICW Committee o f Honor. NCW had subm itted 6 Resolu tions to th e Triennial Meeting, 5 were adopted. Mrs. Schary ob served th a t it was better to go w ith a few good resolutions than Here again is an ideal spot for the American Soyuzanka and clubwoman. As we m eet at the close of 1974 to celebrate our organiza tion’s 50th birthday, we will be remembering w ith deep sorrow a Soyuzanka who gave her heart, head, hands and health for the good of UNW LA — th e late Osypa Hrabovenska. The m em ory o f th is dedicated member and officer will reinforce our fa ith and encourage us to g rea t er effo rts to strengthen and sup port our organization in order th a t the invaluable contributions of the past will inspire us to greater accomplishments in the future. Alexandra Riznyk with many. Mrs. Schuller spoke in favor of Regional conferences on local experiences and prob lems. The Vienna m eeting had a new form at. Instead of individual re ports given on the spot, reports were subm itted 6 m onths pre viously — the cum ulative report served as background papers for seminars — seminar conclusions and resolutions are then th e poli cy o f ICW for th e following year’s work. 1975 is Internation al Women’s Year. The n ext ICW m eeting (1976) will be in V an couver. The NCW representation was the third largest follow ing South Am erica and the United Kingdom.
