Lighting the first candle in honor of the pioneers of the UNWLA was Honorary President Anna Krawczuk. The program continued with a narrated slide presentation about the UNWLA. President Iryna Kurowyckyj began the presentation with an English translation of the organization’s history, which she had presented in Ukrainian at various 75 th anniversary commemorative events throughout the year. UNWLA Vice Presidents and Committee Chairs then recited highlights of UNWLA achievements throughout the years. Each narrative segment was beautifully coordinated with a visual presentation of slides prepared by Marta Danyliuk. While guests enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, greetings and congratulatory messages from organizations, elected officials, and distinguished individuals from the United States, Canada, and Ukraine were received and proudly read. Pianist Volodymyr Vynnytsky and baritone Oleh Chmyr performed selections from the works of Mozart, Lysenko, Zaremba, and Liszt. Special UNWLA citations were awarded to Svoboda, The Ukrainian Weekly, Self Reliance Federal Credit Union of New York, the 1st Security Federal Savings Bank (Chicago), and the Ukrainian Orthodox Federal Credit Union of New York. As guests enjoyed their desserts, UNWLA Branch 66 member Lydia Ficalowych presented President Iryna Kurowyckyj with a check in the amount of $5,000.00 for the continued support of UNWLA programs. The banquet ended with brief closing remarks by UNWLA President Iryna Kurowyckyj and a benediction by Reverend Medvid. On Sunday, December 3, 2000, the UNWLA hosted a special conference. The featured speakers were Dr. Daria Markus and Dr. Martha Bohachevsky Chomiak who presented two distinct variations on a theme of vital import to all members of the Ukrainian community - Ukrainian identity. A spirited discussion on the speakers’ positions and on related topics of interest followed.
