York is a great goal and task which should mobilize us all to a cooperative action. The harsh persecutions of the enemy in our home land, the destruction of Ukrainian historical and cultural achievemets, the unscrupulous russification and the progressive assimilation in countries where Ukrainians have settled, and at the same time the efforts of our enemies to defame the Ukrainian good name — obliges us, members of UNWLA to strengthen our determination. The demands of the future and the feelings of respon sibility for the future of the Ukrainian nation does not allow us to relax our actions, in fact we must intesify them in all phases. This demands the influx of new workers, meaning new members of UNWLA. Being aware of this situation, UNWLA, with the coop eration of young women, held two women’s conferen ces in the last few years, which were immensely suc cessful not only by their attendance, but in the pro gramming of interesting panels and discussions. Both conferences yielded a lot of information which will have great influence on the direction of future plans of UNWLA. The conferences showed that young Ukrainian women made great strides not only in professional achieve- LOCAL BRANCHES GO BEYOND LOCAL NEEDS! Now that the New Year is long upon us and the next convention draws near is a good time to look at what is happening in the branches. As I keep saying, the net work of our branches is the real strength of the organi zation. Proof of that is repeatedly evident, and my last plea for an update on local activity confirms the original contention. Even branches where the majority of members are older women, as in Branch 70 in honor of Vera Babenko, members did not forget that action is what made its patron known in the annals of our struggle for independence. When unable to drive, the women write, wielding their pens in letters to the editor. The 33rd Branch in Cleveland would have made its patron, Lesia Ukrainka, proud, with all the letters they have written to elected officials as a reaction to media events. This has been the pattern throughout the country, and the events of the last few months have given us much to react to. But our members do not only react. Many, indeed most, initiate activities of various kinds. They know best what the community needs and how best to meet that need. For instance, the active 14th Branch in Atlanta is in contact with Emory University about introducing Ukrainian Studies into programs on Eastern Europe. Maybe a series of lectures would be one way to test the waters and perk up an interest. In Warren, Michigan, the Oakland Press featured an article on Ukrainian foods, courtesy of the 45th Branch. The Clifton women held a successful fundraising concert for the Museum, which created some media interest. ments but in the great scope of interests touching Ukrainian problems. These women represent great po tential needed so much in the life of our communities. This is a very welcome sign, but unfortunately not all these valuable individuals are members of organized groups within the Ukrainian society. As long as they remain apart of organizational activity, they will not have any influence on our community life and their potential is inaccessible to our organization. UNWLA — an organization founded on the principals of universal ity, religious tolerance and non-partisanship, is an organization which should draw to its ranks women of younger generations who feel or should feel the need to become part of organizational strata of our society. We are aware of some of the drawbacks of our organ ization, but at the same time the successes of our recent endeavors strenghten our faith. With the influx of new membership we will be able to overcome adversity and help our communities here, as well as those Ukrainians in our homeland. (This article was written in Ukrainian by Lidia Hladky, Third vice President of UNWLA. It was published in the December, 1986 issue of OUR LIFE. This is a direct translation.) The Denver’s 38th Branch, as you might have no ticed in some S vo b od a articles, not only acted quickly and responsibly in the Chernobyl disaster, but did an original and effective follow up. They had a planting of a memorial tree, followed a few months later by the dedi cation of a memorial bench by Mayor Pena. Congres- woman Patricia Schroeder delivered an address. Both events were well prepared and well advertised. Meanwhile, we are all preparing for the two commemorations: the millenium of Christianity and the centenary of the international women’s movement. The National Council of Women of the United States, in con- juction with the International Council, is planning a whole series of events in Washington and in New York for June — July 1988. Get ready, friends. You help is expected.
