BRA NC H 73 H O N O R S M O TH ERS A N D FA TH ER S IN COM BINED CELEBRATIO N Branch 73 Vice president Halya Balaban presents Maria and Taras Slevinsky with a bouquet o f flowers while President Roma Hayda looks on. UNWLA Branch 73 of Fairfield County, Connecticut, commemorated both Mother’s and F ather’s Day during an event hosted on Sunday, May 20, 2001. The celebration which honored both mothers and fathers, was held in the parish hall of Holy Protection of the Bohorodytsia Ukrainian Catholic Church in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and has become an annual tradition in the Ukrainian community in the greater Bridgeport area. Officiating at this year’s celebration was Branch 73 president, Roma Hayda. This year’s celebration was highlighted by the acknowledgment of the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Taras Slevinsky, the first couple to be married in the Bridgeport parish. Both Mr. and Mrs. Slevinsky are very active in the life of the parish and the UNWLA. Mrs. Maria Slevinsky has held various executive posts in UNWLA Branch 73 since its inception; she is currently serving as branch treasurer. Those attending the Mother’s and Father’s Day celebration enjoyed a delicious hot lunch prepared by branch members. A table displaying pysanky, posters, and information about the Ukrainian Museum in New York generated much interest; the information inspired seven people to become members of the Ukrainian Museum. Over the years, Branch 73 has been very active in responding to the needs of Ukrainian victims of disasters throughout the world, as well as in our local community. Halya Balaban From the Editor In recent issues of Our Life, we have published several articles contributed by UNWLA Branches about their activities and accomplishments. We would like to thank the authors of these articles for their contributions and to commend them for their initiative. We hope other branches will be encouraged to send similar articles so that we can share news of their events with our readers. We are also interested in special achievements or successes of individual UNWLA members. Photographs are welcome.
