Branch 124 Commemorates Ukrainian Independence Branch 124 celebrated Ukrainian Independence Day on Sunday, August 27, with a Divine Liturgy at the Epiphany of Our Lord Ukrainian Catholic Church, followed by a Panakhy - da honoring all those who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of Ukraine. A procession led by two chil- dren carrying a wreath made of blue and yellow flowers solemnly made its way to a memorial where participants stood in silence honoring our Ukrainian heroes. That afternoon, although heavy rains pre-empted a planned march, the local Ukrainian American community, including many members of Branch 124, met at the Ma- haffey Theater in downtown St. Petersburg for a program of singing, dancing, and presentations. Branch member Viktoria Brovkina sang and danced, while member Zinovi- ia Zakovorotna played the bandura and sang traditional Ukrainian songs. Olya N. Czerkas , President, Branch 124, St. Petersburg, FL member Iryna Marchiano acted as MC and assisted with introduc - tions. Numerous notable figures and supporters of Ukrainian human - itarian aid were on hand, including Ukraine’s Consul General in Hou - ston, Vitalii Tarasiuk, and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Branch 118 member Nina Buchai Motruk figured prominently in the Holodomor commemoration held November 27 at the Holocaust Mu- seum of Houston. The event was organized by the Ukrainian American Cultural Club of Houston with the U.S. Committee for Ukrainian Holo - domor Genocide Awareness. Of the several presentations, the most moving was the personal story told by Nina and her brother, Greg Bu- chai, who shared the experiences and recollections of their late moth- er, a survivor of the Holodomor from the Poltava region.
