НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Вересень-Жовтень 2023 27 T-shirts and blue-and-yellow heart-shaped cookies. Stained glass designer Dan Fiore had his blue-and-yellow Bethlehem stars available for purchase and donated a percentage of the proceeds to the branch. Rounding out the in - door space was an incredible life-size photo stand-in built by the Ukrainian American Vet - erans of Post 42. The program began with the singing of both the American and the Ukrainian national an - thems while UAV Post 42 members present - ed colors. A fast-paced and crowd-pleasing stage show was expertly emceed by local res - ident, musician, and podcaster George Hrab, who entertained the crowd. Concert violinist Inessa Tymochko-Dekajlo delighted the au - dience with her performance. Father Yaro - slav Lukávenko and branch member Oxana Lukávenko stirred emotions with their rendi - tion of “Chervona Kalyna,” and many audience members could not help but add their voices to the song. St. Mary’s Traditional Ukrainian Dancers, under the direction and choreogra - phy of branch member Stephanie Milan, per - formed four dances, ending with the beauti - ful and pertinent dance of Ivana Kupala. The Syzokryli Ukrainian Dance Ensemble began its program with the traditional Pryvit (Greeting), adding two regional dances, and thrilling the audience with a rousing Hopak finale. Coordinating the Ivana Kupala fundraiser was an undertaking that took over six months of dedicated planning. Navigating the complex - ities involved in staging such a large-scale event were committee members Dana Bala, Paula Holoviak, Oksana Koziak (chair), Ire - na Labenska, Roberta Leiby, Iryna Levytska, Stephanie Milan, and Yuliya Semenovych. The event day itself could not have been success - ful without the help and support of a great number of branch members and their fami - lies and friends, who spent the day setting up, cleaning up, fundraising, and providing sup - port as needed. A special and heartfelt thank-you to all our sponsors and donors who helped make our Ivana Kupala summer celebration a success. All the money raised is helping to provide medical and emotional support to children af - fected by the war in Ukraine. Ivana Kupala scene designed by Andrij and Luba Chornodolsky.
