“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛЮТИЙ 2017 WWW.UNWLA.ORG 33 UNWLA BR. 30 OF YONKERS HOLDS ANNUAL CHRISTMAS BAZAAR by Nadia Liteplo Iryna Hoshovskyj, Vera Berezowsky, Liliya Balkova, Nataliya Dyakiv, Iryna Maksymyuk, Areta Woroch, Marijka Melnyk (Photo by Nadia Liteplo) On Sunday, December 11, 2016, UNWLA Branch 30 (named in honor of Lydia Krushelnytsky) held its annual Christmas Bazaar at St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church hall in Yonkers, N.Y. Typical Christmas staples, such as poppy seeds and wheat berries for kutia, Christmas cards, sheaves of wheat, and Christmas ornaments, were sold. This year we made unique dough ornaments with a Ukrainian motif—little bears with vests, angels, and vertep stars. For weeks before the bazaar, our members baked Christmas cookies and packaged them for sale as hostess gifts or as treats to eat at home. A new addition at the bazaar was a “Babusyni skarby” (Grandmother’s treasures) table, which fea- tured silver jewelry, candles, chocolates, books, puzzles, and embroidered linens. Proceeds from items sold at this table were earmarked for the UNWLA Orphans’ Fund, whereas raffle table proceeds were ear- marked for the War Victims Fund. Also new at our bazaar were borshch and perizhky. These hit the spot on a cold wintry day, while baked goods and canapes satisfied everyone’s hunger. Branch 30 ended the old year with a Christmas bazaar and began the new year with koliady, wish- ing everyone a healthy and happy 2017. We extend the same good wishes to all UNWLA members. May you have peace in your heart and in your mind and may you continue your good works.
