НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Березень-Квітень 2024 29 Photo: Bohdan Koshiw Branch 53 president Sophie Ko - shiw (left) with Natalie Pawlenko (UNWLA President), Oksanna Gudz (Detroit Regional Council Presi - dent), and Dianna Korduba Sawicky (UNWLA Social Media Chair). ians worldwide, the program included both a 50/50 raffle and the auction of a palantyn – a long fringed shawl donated by the de- signer Maryana Priymak. Branch 53 received donations from 26 organizations, businesses, and individuals, which were used to support UNWLA humanitarian aid projects and scholarships. The branch is sincerely grateful for the support from the commu- nity and its sister branches. A to - tal of $3,000 has been donated by Branch 53 from the Golden Jubi- lee, divided among the UNWLA’s Keep Ukraine Warm Fund, Schol- arship Fund, and Refugee Stu- dent Scholarships. The dedicated work of the 50th Anniversary Committee contributed greatly to the suc- cess of the Golden Jubilee. Its members were Martha Jovano - vic, Sophie Koshiw, Luba LePage, Maria Mykolenko, Ola Movchan Novak, Helen Palmer, Annette Stadnyk, and Janet Zuyus. Branch 53 is grateful to every - one who supported its Golden Jubilee, whether by attending, by donating, or by purchasing the clothing modeled. These actions not only made the luncheon and fashion show an interesting, cultural, and unique event, but also helped continue the work of Branch 53 within the UNWLA.
