22 OUR LIFE • November 2022 Irondequoit, NY Palm Beach County, FL In a manifestation of unity and solidarity across South-West Florida, Ukrainians and many supporters gathered in Delray Beach to commemo - rate Ukrainian Independence Day. The event featured fiery speeches from American and Canadian supporters. About 300 petitions were addressed to the President and Secretary of State and to Florida’s Governor, sena - tors, and representatives. Participants also greeted fellow Ukrainians who had just arrived in Florida from Ukraine, escaping the war zone. Local TV stations covered the event, which was organized by Member-at-Large Na - dia Kachalenko with her team of Palm Beach County volunteers: Dmytro Bozhko, Anton Grytsenko, Richard Bojsiuk, and Olena Chuenko. Member-at-Large Maria - na Galay took part in the Ukrainian Independence Day parade at the Ukrainian Village in Parma, as well as in One World Day at the Ukrainian Cultural Garden in Cleveland, where she is pictured before the statue of Lesia Ukrainka. Parma & Cleveland, OH The Greater Rochester, NY, Ukrainian American community marked the 31st anniversary of Ukraine’s independence at the Ukrainian Centennial Monument at Irondequoit Town Hall, which also has a Holodomor Re - membrance plaque next to the Irondequoit-Poltava Sister Cities Friend - ship tree. Rory Fitzpatrick, Irondequoit Town Supervisor, presented a Proc - lamation in recognition of the community and in celebration of Ukrainian independence. Prayers for Ukraine were led by Father Philip Weiner of St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church and Father Ihor Krekhovetsy of St. Mary the Protectress Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Oleg Lebedko, CEO of the Ukrainian Federal Credit Union and Honorary Consul of Ukraine for Upstate NY, read a greeting from the Ukrainian Embassy. Dr. Christine Hoshowsky, Rochester Ukrainian Group President and UNWLA Branch 120 member, presented a decorative plate from Ukraine to the Town of Irondequoit in appreciation for the placement of a permanent flagpole at the Ukrainian Centennial Monument.
