OUR LIFE Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Vol. LIX DECEMBER 2002 Editor: TAMARA STADNYCHENKO The Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Salutes the newly elected President of the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organization Maria Schkambara and wishes her many successes in her important endeavors for women’s organizations in the Diaspora FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT The year 2002 is coming to an end, and it was a good one for our organization in all of its endeavors. I wish to express my deepest appreciation to all of you who have supported our organization, its programs and needs, and its president. The year was full of important events, among them the XXVIth UNWLA Convention in Sarasota, Florida and the VUIth Congress of the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations in Canada, where 18 coun tries were represented. Our delegation was the largest and participated in every scheduled event. In this last Desk of the President of 2002,1 would like to wish a joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year to all UNWLA members and their families who celebrate according to the new calendar. The glorious winter cele bration, no matter whether celebrated by the new calendar or the old, is a time of giving. We give gifts to our chil dren, grandchildren, friends and institutions. And from its inception, our organization has always provided for the needy during this wonderful season. We should all be proud of the UNWLA's generosity. Often our work is performed without recognition. Sometimes we are surprised when it is acknowledged and rewarded with a word or a gesture of gratitude. In 2002, the UNWLA was thanked for its work in a very special way, and I would like to share with you this unexpected and much appreciated recognition of our work. On November 1, 2002,1 met with Ukraine's First Vice Minister for Humanitarian Aid, Anatoliy Koval, at the Ukrainian Consulate in New York City. On this occasion, I received a very remarkable document, one that the UNWLA will always treasure. This document was not a gift to the President of the UNWLA, but rather, an impor tant statement to our entire organization, one that I am pleased and proud to share with every UNWLA member. “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 2002 7
