176 ХХ Х II Конвенція СУА BRANCHES - AT - LARGE OLYA N. CZERKAS BRANCHES - AT - LARGE LIAISON Branches - at - Large (BAL) is a group of branches that do es not belong to a Regional Council due to geographic distance. Branches - at - Large (BAL) can be found throughout the United States, scattered from New York to California and many states in - between. Presently, there are 16 branches within Branches - at - Large: se ven in the East Coast BAL and, nine in the West Coast BAL. Branches that belong to the West Coast BAL are : #3 - Phoenix, AZ #14 - Atlanta, GA #38 - Denver, CO # 49 - Buffalo, NY #107 - San Jose, CA #111 - Los Angeles, CA #118 - Houston, TX #124 - St. Peters burg, FL #136 - Naples, FL Branches that belong to the East Coast BAL are : #17 - Miami, FL #27 - Pittsburgh, PA #56 - Northport, FL #68 - Syracuse, NY #97 - Buffalo, NY #120 - Rochester, NY #78 - Greater Washington DC During the past years, I have worked as Liaison with the presidents of the branches that belong to Branches - at - Large (BAL) from both East and West Coast. I have met many interesting and inspirational women. We have all learned a great deal from one another as we shared our branch successes, memo rable events, inspirational activities, and creative ways our branches worked to achieve specific goals. Since distance is a factor among the BAL, we have communicated and networked in creative and unique ways such as teleconferencing, Zoom meetings, text messaging, and conference phone calls. Staying connected is very important and gives branch presidents the opportunity to share branch accomplishments, goals, and ask for suggestions and ideas. As BAL Liaison, one of my responsibilities is to share infor mation that has been sent to the BAL members from UNWLA National Headquarters. I forward newsletters, messages, and information to our BAL presidents and am available to answer questions when they arise. Annually, branch chairpersons are required to submi t a financial report and branch reports regarding the preceding year. One of the responsibilities of the BAL Liaison is to collect and systematically compile the annual reports for each branch, which I have done. If there are questions, branch presidents c an contact me to address their concerns, to research information, or to just listen. Branch reports are helpful in many ways. These annual reports are a way of archiving the history of branch events, activities, and accomplishments over the years. By reviewing reports and discussing past events during our BAL meetings, branch presidents le arn from one another, became inspired, and sometimes duplicate events in their own branch. Each Branch - at - Large is unique. However, there are common goals that flow throughout branch reports. Many branches focused their efforts on providing humanitarian a id. They may host potluck dinners, banquets, dances, picnics, tea luncheons, etc., in order to raise money and provide financial assistance to war victims, displaced families, and children in Ukraine. Some branches collected clothing, blankets, toys, and s ent these items where most needed. Many also help bring joy to orphan children by sending gifts for Christmas.
