Commemorating the 1932-33 Famine in Ukraine At commemoration o f 1932-33 Famine in Ukraine. Left to right: Branch 118 secretary Christine Bishko-Villacorta, Houston artist Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak, President Martha Noukas. On Sunday, November 23, 2003, Branch 118 organized and hosted a program commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Great Famine in Ukraine. The program, which took place at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, was a multi-faceted presentation that was both educational and moving. Branch president Martha Noukas opened the event by welcoming guests and introducing guest artist Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak of Houston. Ms. Bodnar- Balahutrak gave a slide presentation which included her numerous works of art, inspired by travels through Ukraine in 1990 and by her research into the 1932-33 famine. As each slide was shown, the artist read quota tions from various authors whose works deal with the famine. Branch 118's junior member, Juliana Noukas, prepared a small display table where samples of Ukrainian woodworking and embroidery were ex hibited. Prominently positioned on the table was a facts poster about Ukraine. Numerous books and as sorted literature about the famine, brought to the pres entation by Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak, were also avail able for viewing by those attending the program. Light refreshments were prepared by Branch 118 members Justyna Uschak and Christine Bishko- Villacorta. Editor's Note: The UNWLA Executive Board and the editors gratefully acknowledge Branch 118's generous contribution of $500 to Our Life Press Fund. Thank you and Monhaya Lital “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 2003 11 UNLWA "junior member" Juliana Noukas displays her "Facts about Ukraine"poster at the Houston Museum o f Natural Science.
