НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Березень-Квітень 2024 27 riotism who gave her life advocating for Ukraine’s in - dependence. Her story will be highlighted in a future issue of Our Life . Natalie Pawlenko shared invaluable bits of informa- tion about the founding of our national organization and the many firsts it achieved from its early days to the present, serving as a reminder that we have much to be proud of as members of the UNWLA. Trio Maksymowich performed a backdrop of Ukrainian songs, including Lebedi Materynstva and Moyee Yaseny and culminating with a rousing rendi - tion of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy – always a favorite and guaranteed to get the crowd up on their feet, moving with the music. A silent auction of beautiful artwork, beadwork, embroidery, icons, and jewelry enabled our branch to make a $1,300 donation for the medical needs of our soldiers in Ukraine. It was so satisfying to see the joyful smiles on the winners’ faces as they departed with their prizes. We owe much gratitude to our do - nors: Oresta Hamersky, Bonnie Keller, Patricia Krysa, Natalia Masnyj, and Alexandra Stefansyshyn. Today, we are a much smaller branch striving to overcome the perception that the UNWLA is for old - er ladies, for those who have excessive time on their hands, or strictly for Ukrainian-language speakers. Despite this challenge, we adhere to a time-honored Ukrainian American tradition: we keep on keeping on, doing the best we can with what we have – for our community, for the UNWLA, and for Ukraine. May we be blessed with another 70 fruitful years. Mnohaya i blahaya lita, Branch 17! Photo: K. Sperkacz UNWLA president Natalie Pawlenko (left) with Branch 17 president Olha Sperkacz. Photo: D.
