“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, БЕРЕЗЕНЬ 2012 WWW. UNWLA.ORG 25 sixteen wheelchairs. Other branches were co n- tacted and joi ned in donating funds. Branches 86, 131 and 65 contributed generously to this project . The collaborative efforts extended beyond our UNWLA family, as the purchase and tran s- portatio n of the wheelchairs to Ukraine was ha n- dled through the first - rate “Wheelchair s for Ukraine” program, undertaken by St . John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in Newark, NJ. Their assistance was vit al. Sadly , many whee l- chairs are still needed for the elderly a nd children throughout Ukraine. Ksenia Hapij is administer - ing the pr ogram for the church and can be co n- tacted directly for specific wheelchair donations (Tel: (973) 371 - 1356). And so, our President Roksolana Misilo is happy to report that our gift of sixteen whee l- chairs has arrived in Ukraine. What a precious gift to rec e ive for Christmas! And for us, it is a precious gift of spiritual uplifting! May this story of gift - giving serve as a “spark” to ignite a desire in others to participate in this worthwhile chari t- able project.

An important part of the meeting was welcoming two new members, Ms. Natalie Pawlenko and her mother, Mrs. Hel e- na O. Pawlenko. The agenda included a look back to 2011 with officers and commi ttee members providing reports on t heir activities, starting with President Victoria Mischenko. The UNWLA New Jersey Regional Council President, Olha Lukiw , presided over this well - attended meeting. The branch conducted regular meetings and activities du ring the year , but the highlight of 2011 was the XXIX UNWLA National Convention, which was held in New Jersey in May. Branch 9 8 was responsible for the Exhibits and showed fu r- ther support with the attendance of a number of members. Fundraising was an imp ortant activity during the year and allowed the branch to fulfill its obligations to the UNWLA Headquarters, i n- cluding sponsoring students through the UNWLA Scholarship Program. The branch held an annual picnic, a Christmas party, and a gift - wrapping event at a local Barnes & Noble bookstore. The gift - wrapping event also allowed an opportu nity for outreach to Ukrainian - American women in our area. Through all of our activities , we strive to propagate Ukrainian culture and causes. In the p ast, our branch has held special programs fe a- tu r ing exhibits or film screen ings at a local public library. Under consideration for 2013 is a plan to commemorate the 80 th anniversary of the 1932 - 1933 Ukrainian Holodomor - Genocide.
