20 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ВЕРЕСЕНЬ 2011 access ible to visitors, scholars, and others interested in the history of immigrants to this country. According to Olga, this was the most important task that she had undertaken as a UNWLA member and officer. It was, at the same time, a very educational experie nce through which she learned nearly all there was to know about the organization from its birth in 1925. The process inspired great admiration and respect for the founders of the organization and for those who had followed in their footsteps over the next seven decades. Olga Trytyak with UNWLA Archives ready for shipment . In summarizing her activities, Olga Trytyak notes: “Yes, if I had to do it over again — I certainly would! The UNWLA gave me an opportunity to serve and promote the causes related to our Ukrainian heritage here in the United States and in Ukraine. The time a fter August 24, 1991, was a very important historical period for Ukraine and the struggle of a newly independent country. During my visit to Ukraine in 1992 and the children’s book exhibit by Ukrainian Diaspora authors in Kyiv and Lviv, students listened a nd watched. Very few participated or asked questions. However, in 1995 and 1998, it was very different! I will never forget their enthusiasm! Never! They asked questions freely! I felt that democracy was at work, starting with the youth of Ukraine.” She c ontinues: “An organization such as ours gives women a chance to work together for a commo n cause. We do not discriminate — our membership includes women from all walks of life, religions, political orientation , and social status to organize and work. As an i ndependent women’s organization we set our own missions governed by our own constitution and bylaws approved by our own membership. I feel that the UNWLA gave me the potential to pursue their goals — my goals. I wholeheartedly encourage young Ukrainian women , women of Ukrainian descent or belonging to Ukrainian American community , to join and work with us, for in our numerous activities they will find their own interests and support. As we grow stronger in numbers, we grow stronger in our future undertakings here in the United States of America and in Ukraine. The future of UNWLA is in their hands and I believe in them. I am grateful to the leadership of the UNWLA, including five presidents that I worked with — Iwanna Rozankowsky, Maria Savchak, Anna Krawczuk, I ryna Kurowyckyj, and Marianna Zajac — for giving me the opportunity and support to achieve my goals.” On behalf of the Ukrainian National W omen’s League of America, Inc., we thank Olga Trytyak and wish her all the b est in her futu re undertakings.
