“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЧЕРВЕНЬ 2018 WWW. UNWLA .ORG 7 Every few months, I like to offer our readers a glimpse into the vibrant life of our organization by summarizing the most recent activities of the UN- WLA Executive Committee members. Needless to say, this vi brancy is also exhibited at the regional council and branch levels throughout the coun- try — we have much to be proud of! As always, we invite all of our members and branches and re- gional councils to share their experiences by sub- mitting articles and photos o f their events and pro- jects to Our Life . April 3 UNWLA Website Committee tele confer- ence. Executive Committee members Lida Jachnycky, Christine Boyko, Nadia Nynka, Maria Andriyovych and myself are engaged in this effort. Ivanka Olesnycky and Oksana Lodziuk of the Na- tional Board have also joined this project, which is being spearheaded by Yulia Zimmerman, a mem- ber of UNWLA Branch 107 of San Francisco. We are working on design and content as the project moves forward. (The committee teleconference is h eld every Tuesday evening.) April 17 Nadia Nynka, VP of Public Relations, vis- ited the Scholarship Program office in Matawan, N.J., where the detailed administrative work and record keeping of the program were explained to her. Nadia thanked the committee f or their many years of service. April 20 (and every Friday evening) World Fed- eration of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations XI Congress planning committee teleconference. As previously announced in the pages of Our Life , WFUWO’s 70 th Anniversary Congress will be held October 26 to October 29 in Philadelphia, the city where the organization was founded. April 26 The UNWLA Executive Committee held its monthly meeting via teleconference. Adminis- trative issues were discussed and decided on. Also discussed were th e initiation and opening of the UNWLA Center for Women’s Studies at the Ukrainian Catholic University (formerly the UN- WLA Women’s Lectureship) in mid - September and the continued support of the DCtoHC Septem- ber mission to Lviv to examine and operate on pe- di atric burn victims from all of Ukraine. April 28 Vera Kushnir, UNWLA Financial Secre- tary, presided over the Central NY Regional Coun- cil meeting held in Kerhonkson, New York. Alissa Serdyuk was elected as the new President of this Region Council. We welcome her and wish her much success. April 28 Marianna Zajac represented the UN- WLA at the Ukrainian Institute of America at its 70 th anniversary. As first Vice President of the Ukrainian Museum, she had the honor of joining Board members of the Museum at this e legant event. The Institute and the Museum are the two major physical representatives of Ukrainian cul- ture, art, and traditions in New York City. April 28 First Vice President Lida Jachnychky represented the UNWLA at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Warren , Michigan, at a lecture by Father Bohdan Prakh from the Ukrainian Catholic Uni- versity of Lviv. Rev. Prakh, who serves as Rector of the Ukrainian Catholic University, presented his in - depth study of the history of Ukrainian Catholic priests from the Peremy shl Eparchy and Lemkivshchyna who were persecuted during the Soviet era, during the Nazi Occupation, and under the prewar Polish Regime. April 29 Branch 98 of Holmdel/Middletown, N.J., celebrated its 30 th anniversary and Marianna Zajac was honored to participate and share the congratulations of the Executive Committee with those attending. This event was truly uplifting as each Branch 98 member was given the opportunity to share “how and why I joined the U NWLA.” Each lady had her own personal story but, in the end, it was the camaraderie of the branch members that was most inviting. Congratulations, Branch 98! May 5 Vera Kushnir, Liaison for the UNWLA XXXII Convention, and UNWLA President Mari- anna Zajac met with the Philadelphia Regional Council to discuss plans for the 2020 conven- tion. The meeting took place at the Ukrainian Ed- ucational & Cultural Center in Jenkintown, Pa., and we were very pleased that every branch that belongs to the Regional Council was represented at this meeting. The theme of the next convention will be based on commemorating the 95th anniversary of our organization. May 6 Marianna Zajac attended a Kyiv Mohyla Academy University fundraiser held at the Ukrain- ian Institute of America. Th is event showcased the
