OUR LIFE Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League o f America Vol. LXIV DECEMBER 2007 Editor: TAMARA STADNYCHENKO M a y the s p irit o f C hristm as touch yo u r h e a rt a n d J ill yo u r homt w ith love a n d happiness . From th e D esk o f th e P resident On October 7, a conference was hosted by the Shevchenko Scientific Society in honor of the 100th anniver sary of the birth of General Roman Shukhevych, supreme commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). A week later, Yurii Shukhevych, the general’s son, was keynote speaker at a concert at Cooper Union, which honored Roman Shukhevych and commemorated the 65th anniversary of UPA. On the following day, Mr. Shukhevych The annual meeting of the UNWLA National Board was held October 26 through October 28. During this meeting, the UNWLA Nominating Committee was formed. Chaired by Ulana Zinych, president of the New England Regional Council, the committee began to select a slate of new UNWLA officers for the 2008 UNWLA Convention. Serving as a member of the UNWLA National Board is an honor and a privilege; we hope that all of those asked to serve accept the invitation to participate in a challenging and rewarding experience. During the meeting, board members had the opportunity to see the long-awaited English-language UNWLA brochure, a companion to the Ukrainian-language brochure published the previous year. The materials for this brochure were compiled from UNWLA archives by Vice President Marta Danyluk and organized with the assistance of President Iryna Kurowyckyj. Translated by Vice President Marianna Zajac, the English- language brochure was edited by Tamara Stadnychenko and designed and formatted by Hanya Krill-Pyziur. An anonymous donor covered the cost of publication. The UNWLA president, vice presidents, regional council presidents, committee chairs, and editors of Our Life participating in this year’s meeting presented reports covering their activities during the last year and discussed numerous issues of concern to the UNWLA. Board members also had the opportunity to visit the Ukrainian Museum and view an exhibit that is a very special part of our organization’s history: an exhibit dedicated to the efforts of UNWLA members who worked to ensure that Ukraine was represented at the 1933 Chicago W orld’s Fair. Artifacts purchased by the UNWLA for the World’s Fair were displayed, together with photographs o f the pavilion in which they were housed and of UNWLA members instrumental in making this endeavor a success. It was these artifacts that became the founding collection of the Ukrainian Museum in New York City, established in 1976. Fittingly, the sponsors for the exhibit were the UNWLA’s regional councils and the UNWLA National Board. In November, Ukrainians worldwide began to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Great Famine Genocide in Ukraine, 1932-1933. Convention book committee chair Marta Danyluk proposed that we dedicate the XXVIII Convention book to the Famine, and this proposal has been approved. In connection with this, the convention book will include a section devoted to commemorative activities related to the Famine and will include information about the library project initiated by the UNWLA during the 70th anniversary of the Great Famine— a project that focused on ensuring that public libraries across the United States include books about the Famine in their collections. If your branch or regional council participated in this project, we would appreciate hearing about the results of your efforts. Did the libraries purchase books on the Famine? Which books? Are the books still part of your library’s collection? In what other ways have you helped educate the general public about the Great Famine? We hope that all members, branches, and regional councils continue to promote information about the greatest tragedy of our people. and his wife visited the Ukrainian Museum, which was featuring an exhibit about UPA and its commander.
