UNWLA BRANCH 98, ST. OLGA PATRONESS, HOLMDEL-MIDDLETOWN, NJ NEW JERSEY REGIONAL COUNCIL From left: Taisa Jacus, Oksana Koziak, Maria Polanskyj, M. Orysia Jacus, Anna Krawczuk, Victoria Mischenko, Irene Krawczuk, Mary Bonanno, Elizabeth Barna, and Dr. Margaret Putykewycz. Members not on photo: Christina Bilowchtchuk, Helen Cheloc, Halyna Jakubowicz, Nadia Kot, Irene Laschuk, Rita Oberleitner, Anna Poruchynsky, Christine Roland, and Tamara Schmotolocha. UNWLA Branch 98 was founded in 1988 Holmdel, NJ. Very appropriately, in celebration of the Millennium of Christianity in Ukraine, the membership chose St. Olga as its Patroness. Most of the members of Branch 98 live in Monmouth County, and meetings are held in private homes. M. Orysia Jacus was Branch president prior to Victoria Mischenko, who was elected in 2004 for a two-year term. While we supported numerous UNWLA programs and National Board appeals, the main focus of Branch 98 activities during the last three years was centered on cultural exhibits at a local library, as well as lectures, an author’s readings, and embroidery lessons. These events provided an important and very visible opportunity to share our Ukrainian cultural heritage. We are grateful to Ms. Flora T. Higgins of the Monmouth County Headquarters Library in Manalapan, NJ for her support in co-sponsoring these events at their site. In 2002, Branch 98 signed a contract with the library to exhibit Ukrainian Arts and Crafts in the main lobby from January 4 through 30, 2005, and to show the film “Harvest of Despair” on January 29, 2005. The screening was followed by audience discussion. In 2003 we were co-sponsors of Irene Zabytko’s readings from her newest book When Luba Leaves Home. (Ms. Zabytko is also the author of Sky Unwashed). The event was quite suc cessful: Irene signed customers’ books, and presented autographed copies to the Monmouth County Library as well.
