BRANCHES-AT-LARGE The Branches-at-Large consist o f 11 branches encompassing eight States as detailed in the table below which also provides the membership per branch for each year during m y term (2002-2004). Branch # Name Members as of 9/02 Members as of 9/03 Members as of 9/04 Date founded 3 Phoenix AZ 12 12 18 1971 14 Atlanta GA 16 24 16 1976 17 Miami FL 21 32 31 1952 27 Pittsburgh PA 27 27 22 1931 38 Denver CO 34 40 35 1978* 56 North Port FL 100 103 111 1991 78 Washington DC 50 50 57 1963 107 San Jose CA 29 29 31 1971 111 Los Angeles CA 20 24 23 1991 * 118 Houston TX 29 31 31 1971 124 St. Petersburg FL 30 30 30 2001 Total 368 402 405 Note: * These branches were founded earlier, stopped functioning, and were re-established on these dates. M any o f the above branches, which did not belong to any regional council, were established some time ago (refer to the “date founded” column above). Due to the existence o f a substantial number o f these independent branches, in 1994 the U N W L A Executive Board decided to create a Headquarters position to handle the affairs o f these Branches-at-Large. L i 2002 at the Sarasota convention, I became the Liaison o f the Branches-at-Large. In this capacity, I maintained contact with them by phone, correspondence, and e-mail, as well as responded to their requests/questions presented to me. Through informational notes, communicated to the branches directives and guidance channeled from Headquarters. Specifically, I attended the annual board meetings in New Y ork City, and presented annual reports reflecting the status o f activities of the Branches-at-Large. The Branches-at-Large, in their own regions o f the country, support the resolutions o f the X X V I Convention such as organizational, cultural, press, social welfare, education, art, museum, scholarship, as well as act on special Headquarters directed actions. Furthermore, they seize available opportunities to provide information about Ukraine, its heritage and culture, not only within Ukrainian communities but also to the American public. They raise funds through socials, concerts, picnics, St. Nicholas events, Christmas/Easter bazaars, brunches, spaghetti dinners, host/sponsor cultural events and where possible support and work with other organizations.
