22 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИПЕНЬ - СЕРПЕНЬ 2011 P resident’s Welcoming Remarks at the XXIX UNWLA Convention As I complete my third year as president of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, I am in awe of and filled with gratitude to our membership and its local leadership around the count ry. It was while visiting Regional Councils and branches and reading annual reports that I was able to fully grasp the immeasurable amount of work that is being accomplished and how many individual lives are being touched by the good works of the UNWLA. It is this dedication that has brought us into the 86th year of our organization’s vibrant life. When it was originally founded, the UNWLA established goals. Throughout the decades, our membership and those elected to lead the organization have never wavere d from those goals, building upon the original foundation, and adjusting the organization’s focus and endeavors to meet the demands of changing times. During the past three years, I have done my utmost to work in the same manner and with the same dedicatio n, as have all the women with whom I have been privileged to serve. I would like to thank our membership for allowing me the honor and the privilege to lead our organization. I have attempted to work within the framework of the UNWLA by - laws and resolutio ns, which were adopted at the XXVIII Convention in Detroit and which are part of our organization’s traditional quest to make our programs and projects meaningful, relevant, and productive. As president, I have had the honor to represent the UNWLA at Regio nal Council meetings, community events, conventions, and conferences here in the United States, in Canada, and in Ukraine. Our National Board has diligently worked to move forward by making some internal changes while, at the same time, continuing on the p ath of our predecessors. We thank you for your continued support! Our membership is gathering for its XXIX Convention, the 29th time that we gather in camaraderie, to review accomplishments of the past three years and to discuss plans for our future both o n national and local levels. In 2010, the UNWLA celebrated its 85th anniversary. It was gratifying to discover that other organizations and institutions in the Ukrainian American community support our endeavors. In the June 29, 2008, issue of The Ukrainian Weekly , an editorial entitled “The UNWLA looks ahead” noted that “UNWLA’s leadership seeks to attract new generations and groups of women who want to be a part of something greater than themselves and who want to make their town, their country, their peop le and their world a better place.” This is our legacy. This is our goal. _______________________________________________________________________ THE XXIX UNWLA CONVENTION Friday, May 27, 2011 National Board Meeting Dedicated to the victims of the Chor nobyl nuclear disaster, the XXIX Convention of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America was held in the Hanover Marriott Hotel in Whippany, New Jersey. The four - day event, organized and hosted by the New Jersey Regional Council of the UNWLA, includ ed the traditional mix of working sessions, award ceremonies, exhibits, guest speakers, and entertainment. Each day’s program provided participants with opportunities to learn about the UNWLA’s current programs and endeavors, socialize, and participate in numerous discussions on matters of interest to the organization and its membership. Delegates and guests began arriving at the convention on Friday morning and were greeted by members of the convention committee. Following a tradition established and conti nued at previous con - ventions, each registrant received a tote bag filled with assorted published material, including a copy of the convention book, an assortment of embroidery patterns compiled and published by the UNWLA, a history of the Ukrainian immigr ation in the United States, a retrospective of the works of sculptor Mykhailo Chereshnovsky (from the Ukrainian Museum in NYC), and two volumes of the ongoing series of reports Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
