Members of the presidium: Anna Hawryluk, chair; Oksana Koziak, secretary; and Sophia Hewryk, Vice President for Cultural Affairs from the UNWLA National Board. The General Meeting of the Philadelphia Regional Council was held on May 17, 2015, at the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center (UECC) in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. As is a tra- dition with Soyuzianky , the meeting began with a prayer and a moment of silence for all our mem- bers who passed away recently. Anna Hawryluk (Br. 90) (chair), Martha Pelensky (Br. 90) (vice chair), Oksana Koziak (Br. 91) (secretary), and Sophia Hewryk (Vice Presi- dent for Cultural Affairs from the UNWLA Na- tional Board) were appointed members of the presidium which conducted the meeting. The agenda included the reports of the officers and branch presidents about their activi- ties, followed by discussion, and ended with the biennial election of new officers. Halia Henhalo, President of the Philadel- phia Regional Council, described the accom- plishments of the Regional Council from Septem- ber 2013 to May 2015. During this period there were four main events: The Regional Council conducted a confer- ence on October 20, 2013, at the UECC to discuss, plan, and devise a course of action in the areas of social welfare and humanitarian aid primarily to Ukraine. Members from the UNWLA Executive Board were invited to this meeting. On September 14, 2014, at UECC, the Re- gional Council celebrated Den Soyuzianky, which has become an annual tradition. On October 31, 2014, at UECC, the Phila- delphia Regional Council held a gala exhibit- opening and sale of 40 sculptures by Maestro Pet- ro Kapschutschenko from a private collection of Andrew and Sophia Melnychuk.

The Regional Council participated and contributed to the UNWLA National Convention through delegates.
