Kneeling left to right: Zenon Borys, Antin Petryk, Lev Iwashko, Taras Kowal, Danylko Glushko, and Roman Kowal. The Rochester Ukrainian community is buzzing with excitement. In May of this year, a new Ukrainian dance ensemble, calling itself "Mamai," made its debut. The ensemble consists of many multitalented individuals who dance, sing, and play Ukrainian instruments for the purpose of preserving their Ukrainian culture. Mamai, however, represents more than the birth of just another dance ensemble. Its members are a new generation of community activists who are getting involved, picking a cause, and helping those in need while they do something they all love. After their inaugural performance, they chose to help children and generously donated $100 to the UNWLA's Milk and Roll Fund. Their choice comes as no surprise. Most of these talented young people are graduates of UN WLA Svitlychka classes who have remained active in Rochester's Ukrainian community throughout their formative years. Several of the young ladies have helped out as teacher aides. Two of them, Nickole Riedl and Larissa Cholach, became under studies, and last year, took over as teachers of Branch 120's Svitlychka. They also joined the UN WLA and are now working on other noteworthy causes as they nurture the youngest children in the community and help preserve our Ukrainian heri tage. From the editor.
