much of this has to do with the influx of immigra tion. Although the pay scale is not on a par with that in other Western European countries, work is easy to find. One of the Ukrainians we met was the pre sident of the Ukrainian Association in Portugal, Mariya Dets, a vibrant, open, and warm individual originally from Temopil, Ukraine. Her husband first arrived in Portugal about seven years ago; four years later she and their two sons joined him. She is passionate about her heritage and dedicated to nurt uring the growing community of Ukrainians now liv ing in Portugal. Many of her weekends and holidays are spent traveling to other regional Ukrainian com munities, assisting in the development of Ukrainian schools, helping to resolve issues, and meeting with local government officials. At a regional meeting a few years ago, Mariya Dets jokingly announced, “One day we will have a Ukrainian newspaper in Portugal!” Three years later, this became a reality. We were, needless to say, very impressed by her exuberance and were filled with respect as we learned of the difficulties she has overcome and the magnificent plans she has laid out for herself and for the future of the Ukrainian Association. At the end of our meeting, Mrs. Dets escorted us to a local shop where we found excellent local cheese and Port wine to bring home to our families. Our encounter with her and other Ukrainians was enjoyable and most informative. Above all, it was emphasized for all of us that you can’t leave your Ukrainian heritage behind when you travel. Somehow, it manages to find you, even halfway around the world. Branch 56 Hosts Ukrainian Arts and History Exhibit by A nn-M arie Susla English-language press chair, Branch 56 The Milena Rudnycky Branch 56 of North Port, Florida, presented a month-long Ukrainian art exhibit at the Jacaranda Public Library in Venice, Florida. Chrystia Lazor-Stecyk, art committee chair, and Yara Von Helbig, corresponding secretary, organized and set up the extensive exhibit in six display cases at the library. The exhibit included Ukrainian Easter eggs, ceramics, embroidery, inlaid wooden crafts, religious icons, and historical materials commemorating the Great Famine of 1932-1933. The beautiful and educational exhibit enabled our branch to share information about Ukrainian traditions, culture, and history with our American friends and neighbors of southwest Florida.
