It was also Mrs. Rozankowskyj who cajoled us to speed up the writing of the history of the UNWLA, not only as integral parts of each Convention Book, but as a book that she unfortunately did not live to see beyond the initial rough draft. Iwanna Rozankowskyj initiated two very extensive conferences that drew together younger and older women in the United States to discuss “the Ukrainian woman in two worlds.” She played her usual role - the organizer in the background who watched proudly as confident young Ukrainian- American women presented their vision of the Ukrainian-American community. Perhaps her greatest achievement, however, was the professionalism with which she imbued all meetings and the work of the UNWLA. She did more to popularize Roberts Rules of Order than any other Ukrainian I know. She ran her meetings with an iron hand, and after each meeting, joined in pleasant banter over wine and cheese. She lived to see close ties established between the UNWLA and the women in Ukraine. And while not everything that others know about Ukraine is very complimentary, Mrs. Rozankowskyj’s Ukraine is nevertheless better known than ever before. And she helped make it so. Children Caring for Children A Story in Three Letters We recently received the following letter from UNWLA Social Welfare Chair Nadia Shmigel: We are faxing to you a letter about a fund raising activity conducted by children from St. Josephat Ukrainian Catholic School. Iryna Kurowyc kyj and I thought it would be worth publishing the letter as a testament to the generosity of children. Attached to the fax was the following letter from Daria Hanushevsky, Educational Chair of UNWLA Branch 120, to UNWLA Social Welfare Chair Nadia Shmigel: Enclosed is a letter with a check in the amount of $1,000.00 for the “Milk and Roll” Fund from the children and staff of St. Josephat Ukrainian Catholic School of Rochester, New York. The letter from the children follows: St. Josephat’s Schoolchildren and Staff were more than happy to raise money for “Milk and Rolls” for the youngest school children in Ukraine. They did this by doing the following: — Money donations through Lenten Sacrifice -- Pizza Luncheons — Dress down days They collected $825.00 altogether plus $175.00 from their chocolate sales. Enclosed is a check payable to “Milk and Roll” in the amount of $ 1 , 000 . 00 . It was our pleasure to donate this monetary gift for the needs of the less fortunate, especially our Ukrainian children. Love in Christ, St. Josephat’s Schoolchildren and Staff UNWLA Branch 36 of Chicago Exhibits Pysanky at Local Library Luba Nowak and Olga Pitula flanking artistically arranged artifacts. From April 3 to April 30, 2001, colorful pysanky and other Ukrainian artifacts were on display at the Oak Lawn Public Library in Chicago. The exhibit, organized by Branch President Luba Nowak and Vice-president Olga Pitula, was a great success. Many visitors to the library commented to head librarian Barbara W olf about the beauty of the pysanky. Many were amazed that the eggs were real, not ceramic. According to Mrs. Wolf, the exhibit was one of the most successful ever sponsored by the library. The display was favorably mentioned in several local newspapers.
