7 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Червень 2022 BRANCH NEWS Members of Branch 88 from the Philadelphia Regional Council par - ticipated in the Ukrainian Educa - tional and Cultural Center's Easter Bazaar, held on the grounds of the facility on Saturday, April 7. As visitors arrived during the morn - ing, there was a light drizzle of rain, but that did not dampen the spirits of the hundreds of people who attended, filled with patriot - ism and support for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine who are being so brutally and innocently attacked by Russia. Tons of blue- and-yellow "Stand for Ukraine" signs and Ukrainian flags greeted visitors, the flags waving welcome to everyone who came.
