2 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИСТОПАД 2019 For the past month, the UNWLA Executive and membership has been meeting and planning for future events, has had the honor of being formally recognized, has been able to pu blicly share its rich history and has continued on its path and commit- ment to the Holodomor. I would like to high light the following events: September 7 . The Executive Committee met in special session for a full day of discussion and planning for the XXXII National Convention , which will be held on September 18 − 20, 2020 at the Sheraton Valley Forge Hotel, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. As was announced in a recent issue of OL , the c onvention has been moved from the month of May to September and has been reduced from a four - day to a three - day event . These changes were made in response to numerous re- quests of our membership and will obviously re- quire a reconfiguration of the weekend; however, all points required by the UNWLA By - laws will need to be thoroughly addressed. We feel confi- dent our delegates and guests will appreciate our efforts in designing and implementing the new pa- ramet ers to ensure the event is interesting as well as productive. September 14 . Last year, the Shevchenko Scien- tific Society of New York City engaged in a very comprehensive project and , through a rigorous se- lection process, awarded scholarships to outstand- in g students from Ukraine who had suffered as a result of the war with Russia. The UNWLA donated $20,000 toward these scholarships that were awarded to 10 students from across Ukraine . On September 14 , 2019, the Shevchenko Scientific So- ciety held an apprecia tion evening during which they thank ed the UNWLA for its generous finan- cial support for a cause that gives students in Ukraine hope for a better future. Nadia Nynka, Oka Hrycak and Lida Slysh attended the event, along with UNWLA President Marianna Zajac who gave a short speech describing UNWLA’s long his- tory of providing support for a multitude of educa- tional projects. Shevchenko Society donor appreciation evening: Lida Slysh, Oka Hrycak, Pres Halyna Hryn, Marianna Zajac , Nadia Nynka September 21 . Members of the UNWLA at- tended a special event as part of the Ukrainian His- torical Encounters Series held at the Princeton Club in New York City. This event was dedicated to c ommemorating the 125 th a nniversary of the o rga- nized Ukrainian American c ommunity a nd fea- tured six panel discussions, a working lunch and an evening banquet. Representing the UNWLA, President Marianna Zajac participated in the first panel discussion “Foundation Stones of the Ukrainian American Community” together with Roma Lisovich of th e Ukrainian National Associa- tion (UNA) and Andrij Futey of the Ukra inian Con- gress Committee of America (UCCA). Ms. Zajac stated that “ The UNWLA can proudly stand within the ranks of our ‘ Organized Ukra inian American Community ’ with its own celebration of 95 years in 2020. The UNWLA , since its found- ing in 1925 , has always stood for the spirit of truth, freedom, peace, patience, compassion and a strong conviction to continue our legacy. It has always placed social welfare, educat ion of our youth, and propagation of our culture and traditions as its main objectives.” She also quoted Dr. Marta Kichorowsky - Kebalo’s work - in - progress manu- script of the UNWLA history: “ T he UNWLA was created on the initiative of women — founded by women for women and to be led by women — inde- pendent of male organizers. UNWLA was intent on drawing women into community work as equals to men and would do one better: It was created to be pointedly nonpartisan and nonsectarian in order
