NEWS ABOUT THE UKRAINIAN WOMEN’S CONFERENCE: “UKRAINIAN WOMAN IN TWO WORLDS” The idea of a Ukrainian Women’s Conference which will address the needs of a new generation of Ukrainian women in America has been enthusiastically received by the many women who have heard about the conference, scheduled for October 2-3, 1982 at Soyuzivka. Ukrainian women obviously feel a need to discuss some of the crucial issues facing us as individuals and as a community: issues such as the preservation of Ukrainian language and traditions, intermarriage, the future of Ukrainian institutions, and many more. Women are also excited at the prospect of using the conference as a basis for organizing a Ukrainian Women’s Network. To date, the Organizing Committee of the con ference has made a number of important decisions: con ference topics have been proposed, an organizational timetable developed, officers of the Organizing Comittee elected, and working subcommittees initiated. A questionnaire has been formulated and sent out, to help the organizers assess the degree of interest in specific topics, and to encourage suggestions and feedback from as many women as possible. The results to date have been gratifying. Many women, including UNWLA members, are sending in requests for more information and want to know how they can become involved. Here’s how: ■ Share Your Ideas and Skills: Women with ideas and suggestions are encouraged to send them in to the Organizing Committee. Is there a topic for which you would like to help develop a format? Are you interested in being a discussion leader in a workshop? Can you pre pare art exhibits? Do you have office management skills, so greatly needed in preparing a conference? Please contact us. ■ Share Your Enthusiasm: We have found that the greatest response to the conference comes after we have explained the goals, format and topics of the conference to another woman on an individual basis. If you’re excited about the conference, be sure to tell your friends and relatives about it. Discuss the possibility of attending the conference with other Branch members. Put the topic of the conference on your Branch’s meeting agenda, if you haven’t already. ■ Send Names for Our Mailing List: The purpose of the conference is to attract both activists and non activists. Our mailing list includes women who may not have access to Ukrainian publications, and who will get information about the conference only if it is mailed to them directly. Is there anyone you know who should be added to the list? Send in her name and address to the Organizing Committee right away. ■ Send Information: Almost every Ukrainian com munity has a local Ukrainian radio program. The Or ganizing Committee plans to send publicity materials to these local programs. UNWLA members can help by providing the Committee with the name of the individual who runs the radio program, and his/her address and phone number. UNWLA members can and should become actively involved in making “Ukrainian Woman in Two Worlds” a success. The idea for the conference has come, after all, from the UNWLA Executive, which is encouraging all UNWLA members to participate in every way they can. Judging by the response to date, that’s exactly what they plan to do!

The “Hromada” project came about through the ef forts of the UNWLA Regional Council in New Jersey, headed by Lydia Hladka, who is also one of UNWLA’s Vice Presidents. An application was submitted to the New Jersey Historical Commission whose Committee for the Humanities awarded UNWLA’s N.J. Regional Council a grant of $9,065 — the maximum allowed by the pro visions of the Commission. The co-sponsors of the pro ject are the Ukrainian National Association and Rutgers University, making this a fine example of cooperation among groups sharing common goals. Every aspect of the project has been meticulously planned. The photographic essay will document Ukrainian family lifestyles and traditions in New Jersey, a state whose Ukrainian population numbers about 75,000. The photo exhibition will open at the Robeson Gallery as a background for the exhibit of folk art. Later the photo graphs will be available to interested organizations as a traveling exhibition. The folk art exhibit, which will open on March 27 and remain on display until the end of April, will contain examples of Ukrainian embroidery, wood carving, cera mics, decorated breads and pysanky. Many of these items are being loaned by the Ukrainian Museum in New York . Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році . A рхів C У A - Ню Йорк , Н . Й . C Ш A.
