“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, БЕРЕЗЕНЬ 2018 WWW.UNWLA.ORG 9 fit with the existing branches. Some members (but these were few) were able to assimilate into existing branches, but gener- ally they remained on the sideline and eventually created separate branches. And only then did they develop their own plans for future projects. It appears that even President Lototska, who had initially agreed with the proposal that new immigrants join already existing UNWLA bran- ches, was surprised by these developments. We see this matter being debated at all levels, as written up in Our Life way back in its first issues as it was transformed from a newspaper to a magazine in 1951. History repeats itself as the saying goes: Today, we welcome our new branches composed of the newest immigrants from Ukraine—thus far in Ohio, in Connecticut, in Illinois. And we welcome all members from this immigration who integrated into existing branches and enrich these. But we can’t pretend that the linguistic and cultural differ- ences don’t exist. The May 1960 issue of Our Life featured an editorial entitled “The next chapter,” which fo- cused on the 35 th anniversary of the UNWLA. In the last paragraph, the author references the most recent UNWLA membership (those joining in the 1950s) and states that “the work of those who most recently joined UNWLA and try to fulfill its mis- sion, cannot yet be evaluated. But one must re- member and appreciate their fresh contribution to this great institution called the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America.” Because this month’s column is also about change, I would like to end by noting that we welcome the changes our new branches are bringing to our or- ganization; they are inviting us, with their new ideas and proposals, to think out of the box but also giving us the opportunity to teach them about this organization, its rich history, the broad scope of possibilities it offers, and most importantly, how the UNWLA teaches us to work, sometimes by compromise, but always together, for the common good. This will be an ongoing endeavor as we reach out to new areas of the country to invite women from the most recent immigration to join hands with us as Ukrainian American women. 70-ліття СФУЖО Повідомляємо, що величаве відзначення 70-ліття СФУЖО відбудеться 27-го, 28-го і 29-го жовтня 2018-го р. в місті Філядельфія, США, де започатковано СФУЖО.
