As the thirty delegates settled into their places, old friends greeted each other and new acquaintances were made. Agenda packets were opened and the meeting, chaired by Elizabeth Buniak, c ommenced. NJRC outgoing president Marianna Livcha noted that the past two years were busy and fruitful. Some highlights included a 13% increase in NJRC membership over the past year and many other fund- raising and educational events, statewide, including t he christen ing of a new Branch 135 (Hazlet) named after the Ukrainian poetess Olena Teliha, the 30th anniversary celebration of Branch 98 (Holmdel/Mid- dletown), and the first ever Miss Ukrainian New Jersey pageant organized by Branch 137 (Clifton), which at tracted man y younger generation Ukrainian women. Social Welfare Chair Maria Vasylkiv reported that nearly $29,000 was donated council - wide to UNWLA causes over the past two years: the Adopt the Family of a Wounded Soldier/War Victim's Fund; the Pokrovsk or phanage; th e Babusia fund; summer and winter camps for orphans from eastern Ukraine; Sieverodonetsk Community Center and Church; Dz h erelo; Prostir Nadii and other causes and initiatives .

Both events were well at- tended and offered various perspectives on the Holodomor as well as ideas on how to more effectively commemorate and educate the pu blic in ord er to increase recognition of the Holodomor throughout the world. After interesting reports from the presidents of the nine branches of the NJRC, greetings from the UNWLA National Executive President Marianna Zajac, and reports of the standing committees (auditing, membership), participants eagerly awaited the list of nominations for the next two - year term of the NJRC executive.
