Embroidery lesson participants: Members of Branch 98 (in embroidered blouses) with attendees. From its inception UNWLA Branch 98 has sponsored students through the UNWLA Scholarship/ Student Sponsorship Program. The Branch’s scholarship chair, Irene Laschuk, corresponds with our latest student, Inna Petrenko of Ukraine. We saw her graduate from high school; presently she is a university student. The Branch also encourages our members and friends to become sponsors. Our efforts have been rewarded: in the last three years twenty-four students re ceived annual scholarships, funded by twelve sponsors and the branch, and $12,250 was forwarded to the Scholarship Program. Scholarship recipients are in Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. UNWLA Branch 98 is a member of The Ukrainian Museum in New York City and many of our members are individual members of the Museum as well. At least once a year we contribute articles to Our Life. All of our members are subscribers and three subscribe for others. Branch 98 contributed $200 in celebration of the magazine’s 60th anniversary. UNWLA Branch 98’s Social Welfare co-chairs Irene Krawczuk and Oksana Koziak helped to develop a Ukrainian Information Service in New Jersey with a focus on Mon mouth County. It was hoped that this telephone and directory service would be a resource for Ukrainian-Americans living in the area. This project came to a disap pointing halt due to restrictions from UNWLA National Headquarters. In 2003, we received information regarding an orphanage in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, which cares for children of Ukrainian descent. Two packages with warm clothing, toys, school supplies, and treats were sent. The director of the Ukrainian Sunday School in Tashkent, Walentyna Tashkajeva, wrote that the children were delighted, especially with the sweets and other treats. In answer to the National Board’s appeal at the end of 2004, Branch 98 collected $900 for medicine and food in Ukraine. The Branch’s annual picnic in June and Christmas Party in December have become a tradition; members and friends look forward to them each year. Because we do not have a parish and/or Ukrainian- American community in our immediate area, these events are a main source of Branch fund raising. From left: M.
