decision was made to hold a fundraiser for funding of the cost of the building and renovation for the use of the museum. From our archives we learn that the whole project cost $150,000. On December 17, 1976, the museum received a temporary charter and on October 2, 1982, it received an Absolute Charter from the Department of the Arts and Education of the State of New York. The museum was incorporated as a separate entity under the name of Ukrainian Museum. Branches and the Regional Council of New York donated $15,000 towards the purchase price of the second floor of the building in honor of the 30th anniversary celebration of the New York Regional Council. On June 17, 1977, the first annual meeting of the Ukrainian Museum Board was held, during which Aleksandra Riznyk was elected president of the Board of Directors. The constitution and the by-laws were voted on, and a consensus was reached that the UNWLA would have a 51% share of the Board membership. The Ukrainian Museum has a long and interesting history; I have given you a glimpse of what I gathered from some of the documents in our archives. International visitors are fascinated by our museum, so is the American public. That is why we have to donate the needed funds and time to keep the museum working. Your duty is to inform the public about the wonderful exhibits in this institution. It is an unduplicated treasure of Ukraine and Ukrainians living in the USA. Be proud of it and support it.” WELCOMING THE MEW YEAR WITH A MEW LOOK OM LIFE by Ihor Magun, M..D., F.A.C.P. The first day of January is always anti cipated with a certain amount of fanfare. It marks the beginning of a new calendar year. A time when we "wipe our slate clean" and make a concerted effort to make some improvement in our lives. This is precisely the time to capture your attention and enthusiasm and fulfill a resolution for a better outlook on your life. A balanced and healthy life is a natural part of human instinct. It is a state we strive to achieve, but we often fall short of our goals because the flip side of human instinct is not always as positive. Without meaning to, we constantly bombard our selves with negative thoughts and notions that con ceal who we really are. These negative thoughts block personal potential and indirectly block posi tive perceptions about ourselves. We need to "see through" these notions and rise above them. We must be true to ourselves and resolve to ward off the negative. One of the most common New Year’s re solutions is to take better care of our health, to eat correctly, and to start a regular exercise routine. Most people believe they "have to" take better care of themselves. This “have to” attitude actually blocks achievement because things you “have to do” are seldom approached with a good frame of mind. They are seen as obligations rather than desire, duties that are neither pleasant nor fun. It is because of this mindset that so many people fail to keep New Year’s resolutions and just give up. Keeping good resolutions alive and vibrant begins with changing your mindset. Instead of see ing the resolution as a burden, see it as an affirma tion of yourself. Instead of viewing resolution ac tivities as a “have to,” view them as something you are doing out of a sense of love and appreciation for yourself. From this perspective, the activity be comes a natural desire. This way of thinking says, “I am important and worth the effort.” Try it, but be honest about it. Pay attention to what your body needs and keep negative thoughts at bay. A balanced, more healthy life can be yours in the New Year if you change your outlook. In fact, the new outlook may change your life for good. Use your new found energy and enthusiasm to have a more full and productive life. Become pas sionate about the things you love and, most of all, nurture this desire. It is a validation of who you are and a resolution that says, “I like myself and I deserve to be happy and healthy.”
