“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, СІЧЕНЬ 2010 15 OUR LIFE Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Vol. LXVI I JANUARY 2010 SHARING THOUGHTS, VIEWS, & NEWS Mnohaya Lita, UNWLA members, on the 85th anniversary of the inception of our esteemed organiza tion! For the past 85 years, the UNWLA has successfully united women of Ukrainian descent and spearheaded many of the Ukrainian communities’ cultural, educational, and charitable efforts. The largest and oldest independent organization of Ukrainian women i n the United States has done this with conviction, resolve, and grace. This might be an appropriate time to reflect on our history by browsing through the UNWLA’s commemorative convention books. For instance, in the XXV Convention Book of 1999, one can rea d the first official announcement (dated June 24, 1925) of the creation of UNWLA or read about all past UNWLA с onventions (the first was held in New York on May 30, 1932). With this nostalgic look in honor of this significant anniversary in our hearts, we have initiated and promoted a new and ambitious social welfare project: “Assistance and Caring for the Elderly.” Already introduced in past issues, this program is designed to help ten selected nursing homes in Ukraine. Volunteers in Chicago p acking donations for UNWLA’s “Assistance and Caring for the Elderly” program The new program was thoroughly discussed at our National Board Meeting in October 2009 and the execution of the first phase of this much needed program was kicked off in ear ly December. First Vice President Ulana Zinych, Social Welfare Chairperson Iryna Rudyk, and I traveled to Chicago to coordinate a shipment of donated goods to the carefully chosen nursing homes located in western, central, and northern Ukraine . As previous ly noted, Mission Outreach, a Chicago based not for profit, donated 299 boxes of surplus items to our cause. These items included wheelchairs, rollator walkers, canes, sanitary items, etc. With the help of volunteers from the Chicago Regional Council (coor dinated by Luba Kalin, the Regional Council’s president), this mountain of goods was repackaged and packed; boxes were grouped and addressed.
