The children, many attired in exquisite vyshyvanky , entertained the Soyuzianky with their singing or by playing the vio lin or piano. Completing the program was Irina Vasylevska, a member of Branch 128, who enchanted the audience with a beautiful medley of songs. After the program, guests enjoyed a delicious luncheon with an assortment of homemade desserts baked by the Soy uzianky themselves.
