Patricia Zalisko , Press Secretary, Branch 56, North Port, FL TogeTher, We Can Do This The UNWLA has been a formida - ble partner in the fight for Ukraine now, extraordinary in its fundrais - ing efforts for humanitarian relief and related dedicated funds.

They have been relentless in their labors ever since. Under the leadership of branch president Bohdana Puzyk, these women have organized edu - cational or related events, like Dance for Ukraine, in collabora - tion with local businesses and associations (Fred Astaire Studios and Sarasota National Golf Club, for example) to raise local con - sciousness about Ukraine’s im - portance in the fight for democ - racy and money for the UNWLA’s designated relief funds.

They have individually and collec - tively hosted yard sales and sold handmade crafts to benefit the UNWLA’s relief funds. They’ve written countless letters to the editors of local newspapers or au - thored essays about their culture, and they’ve forged relationships with a local Jewish community center and synagogue and other non-Ukrainian organizations to promote greater understanding. They are steadfast in combatting vicious propaganda about Ukrain - ians and their motives, myths that Putin and his sympathizers have propagated. Our members have provided widely publicized
