Books, newspaper articles, and documents related to the Great Famine on exhibit picnic, holiday party, and fundraising event at a lo cal Barnes & Noble Bookstore. The summer picnic and Christmas party gave members and their fami lies the opportunity to socialize, enjoy homemade dishes, and raise their voices in Ukrainian song. Gift-wrapping at Barnes & Noble not only raised funds for the Branch but also raised public aware ness about the UNWLA. UNWLA Branch 98 was established in 1988—the millennium year of Christianity in Ukraine. Fittingly, branch members chose Saint Olga as their patroness. Our members reside in Monmouth County (Central New Jersey) and sur rounding areas. Branch 98 is part of the New Jersey Regional Council. Although most of our members are bilingual, we conduct branch business in Eng lish. New members are always welcome and we in vite Ukrainian-American women of all ages to come and join our efforts in promoting public awareness about Ukraine, its history, its people, and their aspi rations, especially in the post-Orange Revolution era. For additional information, write to UNWLA Branch 98, PO Box 172, Holmdel, NJ 07733. N o t e s f r o m t h e P a s t In 1965, the UNWLA celebrated its fortieth anniversary. The organizations' president at the time was the intrepid Olena Lototsky, and UNWLA headquarters was located in the Logan section of the City of Philadelphia, an area with a large Ukrainian population. The building, a comer house, was owned by the UNWLA and was a hub of activity that included branch meetings, the editorial end eavors of Our Life, and numerous social and cultural events for the Ukrainian community at large. The UNWLA convention of 1965 was held over Thanksgiving weekend at the Statler-Hilton Hotel in New York City. One of the highlights of the convention was the symbolic burning of the mortgage on the UNWLA's building. Another was a concerted effort by UNWLA leadership to encour age and support the work of English-speaking mem bers of the organization. During the convention, a special session for American-born UNWLA mem bers was held on November 27. There were nine English-language UNWLA branches at the time (Branches 37 and 58 in Detroit, Branch 52 in Phila delphia, Branches 53 and 72 in New York, Branch 60 in Cleveland, Branch 61, in Whippany, Branch 75 in Carteret, and Branch 89 in Kerhonkson). Many of us attending this year's convention will miss the presence of Mary Beck, a beloved friend and colleague, whose life's work was intri cately intertwined with the work of the UNWLA. In 1965, Ms. Beck was running for re-election to De troit's City Council, an endeavor proudly noted in the October 1965 issue of Our Life. НАШ Е ЖИТТЯ”, ТРАВЕНЬ 2005 17
