A SPECIAL REQUEST FROM THE EDITOR TO PRESS CHAIRS OF UNWLA BRANCHES One of the many services provided by The Ukrainian Weekly is that it gives Ukrainians a bulletin board of sorts, where organizations can announce and publicize upcoming events that might be of local or general interest. The items are brief, providing a concise description of the planned event, the time, the location, an abbre viated list of participants, and sometimes a purpose for the event — charitable, educational or just plain festive. Occasionally, they include a contact person and a telephone number for those who would like more information. It is a section of The Weekly that I routinely scan, admittedly giving more attention to those items which deal with events close to home or those which mention names of people I know personally or subjects that are of personal interest to me. But even though I may not be inclined to hop a plane to hear a lecture in Colorado or even drive up the turnpike to that banquet to be held in northern New Jersey, I find it gratifying to learn that the Ukrainian community is alive and well and organizing assorted functions which will draw audiences and participants and will in some way perpetuate the cultural or religious or political life of the hromada. During the past few months, I have been noting The Ukrainian Weekly’s “preview of events” which deal specifically with activities and events planned by various UNWLA branches. Like the others, they give purpose, time, location and a brief program outline. And more and more frequently, I wonder how the events turned out and why nobody out there seems to remember that the UNWLA has an organizational publication that would be an ideal forum for UNWLA branches to let other UNWLA branches know what they did, how they did it, why they did it and what was accomplished. Why not let us know? A couple of paragraphs and a photograph about your Branch’s latest event would be most welcome. Janice Kulyk Keefer, The Green Library, Toronto: Harper Collins Publishers, Lit. 1996. 272 pp. $26.00 Next on your must-read list, and for your teen-agers also. A luxuriously written and intri cately structured novel of romance, historical fic tion, and erupting passions. The rich prose is lush and at times overpowering in its associations, as enveloping as the wild growth of mid-summer’s flowers in the honeyed afternoons of Ukraine’s summer. Your story line echoes Greek tragedies in its power and underlying simplicity. Woven through out is a rich texture of history and historical rela tions among immigrants, and natives, and those who are neither. Set in Canada and in Ukraine, it is close to home for the American-Ukrainian reader. The search for roots in this work is not limited to either biology, or ethnicity, or psychology, but to an intertwining of the three. The imaginative struc ture — moving from time and place determined by emotion, not by chronology —pays tribute to liter ature. The book received the Canadian Governor- General’s Literary Award and is the seventh book of Keefer. She is a two-time winner of the CBC Radio Literary Competition and of the National Magazine Award. Her shorter works appear in Canada’s most prestigious publications. Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak ERRATA In the article on the Vllth Congress of World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations which was published in the March 1997 issue (p. 18), the final paragraph included an incomplete list of WFUWO’s president and incorrect dates for Olena Lotockyj’s tenure as president. We parti cularly regret the omission of UNWLA Honorary President Lydia Burachynska, whose dedication to the UNWLA, WFUWO, and the Ukrainian communi ty merited far better treatment, and we offer sincere apologies for the inadvertent errors. The list should have read as follows: Olena Kysilewska 1948-1956 Olena Zalizniak 1956-1969 Olena Lotockyj 1969-1972 Stefania Sawchuk 1972-1977 Lydia Burachynska 1977-1982 Maria Kwitkowsky 1982-1992 Oksana B. Sokolyk 1992-present ’’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЧЕРВЕНЬ 1997 21
