BRANCH 32 s ACTIVITIES (From May, 1976 to May 1977) May, 1976 Our yearly welfare program enabled us to send six parcels of clothing to Po land. We pushed the selling of Bricks for the Ukrainian Museum. Another annual project was to participate in St. John’s Ukrainian Catholic Church’s bazaar. June, 1976 We held an evening course in Ukrainian Conversational Phrases, recited along with a record borrowed from the Wood- bridge Library. We tried to push our Ukrainian Museum by handing out Mu seum fliers in libraries, colleges and bank bulletin boards. Sept. & Oct., 1976 The Branch participated in Soyuzanka Day in conjunction with the Regional Council. Members Dolores Salabun and Mary Rohowsky displayed and sold their oil paintings while others prepared baked goods for the cake sale. We held a ’’Fall Fashion Fling” fashion show on Holloween. Part of the raffle proceeds we held that night were spent Jan. 22, 1977 Ukrainian Independence Day. The Mayor of Union, N.J. read the Proclamation of Freedom and raised the Ukrainian flag in front of the Town Hall while members of our Branch song Ukrainian and American Anthems. This event attracted many community members along with our own Branch. Several Branch members then proceeded to Irvington and Maplewood’ N.J. to give their support to the flag raisings and ceremonies. In conjunction with these ceremonies, we set up a cul tural exhibit of Ukrainian hand craft on the first floor in the Union Adult Library, and a display of Ukrainian children’s storybooks, maps and woodcarved figures in the Children’s Library on the second floor for the whole month of Jan uary. Also in Jan. we participated in the Regional Council Annual Meeting. February, 1977 Two of our members helped Girl Scout Troop 85 with an international display in Livingston Mall. This month marked our 10th A n n iv e rs a ry — Preparations for a dinner-dance in honor of the occasion kept us busy. The event will be at the Holiday Inn, Somerville, N.J. on Nov. 5th, 1977. March, 1977 Mary Maszera had persuaded the Wood- bridge Public Library to buy a film an Pysanky for the purpose of loaning it out. April, 1977 We had a lecture by Cultural Chairlady, Mary Rohowsky, on Icons. A lecture was given by Dorothy Losowyj and Mary Rohowsky on History of Ukraine and Pysanky along with Ukrainian Handiwork-Authentic, Con temporary and Commercial” at the Maplewood Women’s Service Club in Maplewood, N.J. Gail Wislocky was also held two demon strations of Pysanky for the Chatham Township Women’s Club, Chatham, N.J. May, 1977 We held a Stanley Products demon stration for a fund raising project. Participating once more, we are ending our year of activity the way we started it: participating in the St. John’s Ukr. Catholic Church yearly bazaar.

January, 1977 We held our yearly meeting, electing new officers for the year 1977. BETWEEN US AND THE TELEPHONE Lubow Kalynowych has once again raised her voice in a matter which, like a volley ball, is bounced back and forth among the players — mainly the matter of the working mother. Here are her pointers on the theme: 1. a parent, mother or father, should be home with a pre-school child 2. when a child is in school, whether a mother works or not depends on the fa mily situation 3. when both parents work, it is nece ssary to weigh the gains and losses of such an arrangement — does it benefit or harm the family, etc. 4. what are the reasons a mother goes to work — financial, self gratification, need for more knowledge, a desire to help her community 5. there are many women who can bring invaluable contributions to our society with their professional training and knowledge and this must be appreciated. 6. it should be realized that many wo men who devotedly spend their time with their children at home until the children marry are not necessarily happy or are they good mothers. Their state of sub- consious discontent may be very harm ful to the family 7. children are usually proud of their working mothers; they share in the housework chores and actually benefit more by the experience. 24 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ, ВЕРЕСЕНЬ 1977 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
