At last we turned and retraced our steps. When we reached the beginning of the lane again, we rounded the corner and continued on down the slope toward the Podil. About halfway down, unexpectedly we came to a widening of the road that made a sizeable open space. We stopped. Fastened to the house on the corner was a plaque. I went up to it and read: ’’Borych’s T ik . ’’ I turned and looked about in surprise and wonder. To this day that spot is flat and open — exactly as a threshing floor should be. I stood thrilled to the marrow by the realization that for well over a thousand years, through all the upheavals and destruction that Kiev has known throughout its long history, this humble spot has retained not only its original name but even its original character. For me, that fact somehow signified that in spite of the repeated ravaging and devastation that Ukraine has known, its essential character somehow remains intact and indestructible. RESUME OF ACTIVITIES — BRANCH 32 A Candlelight Ceremony for the election of officers opened our ten monthly meetings for our branch in 1979. We are an active member of U.C.C.A. and yearly celebrate Ukrainian Independence Day on January 22nd in Union, New Jersey with a heart-warming turnout, which increases each year. Our membership stays at a steady twenty-five members with practically all members attending our monthly meetings and functions. In an effort to gain new members, we visited the Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church in Hillside, N.J. to acquaint them with Soyuz Ukrainok as an organization. Our efforts did not prove to be in vain; we have gained five new members from our visit. Our members attended the dinner given by the Regional Council; one of our members, Mrs. Vera Studnyj, donated a hand-made Ukrainian doll for a raffle, from which proceeds were donated to the Regional Council. Mrs. Mary Maszera, our President, and Mrs. Mary Rohowsky gave our support of Moroz by carrying a placard at Bryant Park, New York welcoming him to the United States. May found us once more participating in St. John’s Church Bazaar, also, as sponsors of a Stanley Demonstration to build up our treasury. The Ukrainian Festival at the N.J. Garden Center in June gave us a chance to have a sell-out on tickets for the pro gramme and to sell hot dogs and Ukrainian kapusta along with other refreshments to the hungry sightseers. All sister branches in our area were invited to spend an evening with us called, "Getting To Know Us.” Guests enjoyed a buffet and film on N.J. Historical spots, and a booklet with each member’s personal history was handed out to quests to acquaint them with Branch 32’s members. The booklet was compiled by our Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Dorothy Losowyj. Embroidery lessons were given to members and guests in September. October’s guest, Dr. Elissa Santoro M.D.P.A., noted surgeon and author, gave our branch a lecture on mastecdomies. We finished the year off by participation in a programme at Rutgers University in Newark, N.J. celebrating the ’’Child of the Year.” Three of our members furnished and served refresh- Kiev 1977.
