MAY 1999 Editor: TAMARA STADNYCHENKO ТЕ01МША SAWYCKA'S LIFE IN TOE UNWLA: A MOTHER'S DAY REMEMBRANCE By ANISA HANDZIA SAWYCKYJ Mother and daughter, 1989. Teodozia Sawycky was a member of the UNWLA for nearly half a century. She joined UNWLA Branch 57 in Utica, New York in 1950, and until 1982, held various posts in the branch as well as in the Regional Council of upstate New York She served on the National Board of the UNWLA as Social Welfare Chair from 1967 to 1981, and from 1981 to 1984 as First Vice-President. In 1987 she received the UNWLA's highest award - Honorary Member. My mother died on May 9, 1998, on the eve of Mother's Day. In the year since her death, as I leaf through her papers, her photos and her mementos, and ponder her legacy, I am struck by how much of her life centered around the UNWLA, how much she contributed to the UNWLA, and in turn, how much her life was enriched by her experiences in it. I am convinced that if there hadn't been an organization like the UNWLA around, she probably would have had to invent it, so much did its programs reflect her outlook on life and her interests. She saw the UNWLA as a constructive and productive "no frills" organization, where women worked effectively on vital humanitarian and educational issues, where Ukrainian cultural and historical traditions were honored and propagated, and where women could strive for shared goals in an atmosphere of mutual support. The UNWLA was a place where an individual could make a difference, so she gravitated toward it early on and stayed loyal to it until the end of her life in spite of many other outside interests that claimed her attention. My mother chose to work in the UNWLA primarily because it offered an opportunity to help and serve others. She loved people, and she empathized deeply with the plight of people in need, Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році . A рхів C У A - Ню Йорк , Н . Й .
