24 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИПЕНЬ-СЕРПЕНЬ 2016 ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ ОКРУГ І ВІДДІЛІВ СУА PHILADELPHIA REGIONAL COUNCIL HOSTS DEN SOYUZIANKY by Petrusia Sawchak, Press Secretary Event organizer Halyna Keller with Stefa Perrong, financial secretary On May 22, 2016, with more than 75 members in attendance, the Philadelphia Regional Council held its traditional Den Soyuzianky , UNWLA An- nual Member Day Celebration, at the Tryzubivka Sports facility in Horsham, Pa. The event, orga- nized by Halyna Keller and Iryna Buczkowski, was dedicated as a fundraiser for the children of Ukraine whose fathers were either killed or wounded during the battles against the Russian in- vaders in Eastern Ukraine. Guests donated new sneakers or shoes for the children or made other contributions for the cause; all donations will be sent to Ukraine. Halyna Henhalo, president of the Philadel- phia Regional Council, opened the program with a description of the UNWLA’s goals and activities. She emphasized that our organization focuses much of its energy, devotion, and humanitarian contributions to the Ukrainian American commu- nity and Ukraine which it holds dear. Ms. Henhalo also described some of the ac- tivities of the various branches in the Philadelphia Regional Council. Among those introduced was the past president of Branch 88, Christine Shwed, who presented her soon-to-be published book. Entitled Stories for Every Season, the book is a compilation of beautifully illustrated stories published in Our Life between 2008 and 2011 while Ms. Shwed was serving as UNWLA’s Education Committee Chair. The purpose of the stories at that time was to en- rich the curriculum of UNWLA branches that were running svitlychky (preschools) with new and col- orful materials. The book is being published with the intent of acquainting a new generation of chil- dren these stories. Additional information about this project will be forthcoming. Halyna Henhalo, president of the Philadelphia Regional Council, greets guests, describes the work and activities of the Regional Council, and presents overview of the program. Christine Shwed, past president of Branch 88, presents soon to be published Stories for Every Season .
