274 ХХ Х II Конвенція СУА In January and March 2018 , through the efforts of member Valia Dmitri, we collaborated with Hodges University and Arbor Trace Senior Living Community to show Olha Onyshko’s documentary film Women of Maidan. A very productive Q& A period followed . Those present were amazed to learn the truth of the events of the 2014 Maidan in Ukraine. Since our founding, we have displayed Ukrainian embroidery, woodcuts, ceramics, and pysanky at various libraries throughout the area. Our pysanka exhibits eventuall y evolved into pysanka workshops held regularly at Lely and Golden Gate Regional Libraries , as well as at various country clubs throughout the area. Our workshops have become v ery popular and well attended. As an added bonus, the worksho ps have become a go od source of fundraising. We devoted 2019 and early 2020 to the Remembrance of the Holodomor and sponsored several library e xhibits and lectures. In March 2020, Halyna Traversa presented a lecture on the Holodomor at the Renaissance Center of Naples, an affiliate of the Florida Gulf Coast University, while Natalka Santarsiero presented her mother’s story of survival of this atrocity. Halyna Traversa was also interviewed by the l ocal NPR radio station on the subject. Another well - attended lecture on the Holodomor was sponsored by our b ranch and presented by Nelya Lechman, of Branch 56 of North Port, at the Lely Library. The highlight of our Holodomor Remembrance was an exhib it co - sponsored with the Holocaust Museum and Coh en Educational Center (HMCEC) of SWFL. Our well - curated exhibit was on display for four months during 2019, at the HMCEC’s lovely, newly renovated facility . The exhibit also featured the continuous streaming of a film on the Holodomor produced in Canada . To our knowledge, this exhibit, co - sponsored with , and displayed in , a Holocaust museum, was the first of its kind in the United States and Canada . An essential element of this Holod omor project was a lecture by Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University, the well - known author of Bloodlands. Before an audience of 200 participants, Dr. Snyder moved us with his passion and extensive kn owledge of the subject matter. After th e lecture, t here was a lively Q& A session and followed by a lovely cocktail reception for all who attended. This event was widely featured and acclaimed in our local Naples Daily News , as well as Jewish an d Ukrainian community newspapers in North America . As par t of our scholarship project, we sponsor three u niversity students in Ukraine. As part of our social welfare effort, we provide financial assistance to a young widow and her two daughters in Eastern Ukraine. Care pac kages are also sent quarterly. We contin ue to donate to the War Victims Fund. Naples Branch 136 strives to build on our Ukrainian culture, furthering education programs , and assisting the needy in Ukraine, and always welcome new members to join us in our heartfelt efforts. Marie Shandor, Press Secretary 136 - ий Відділ СУА вітає учасниць ХХХІІ Конвенції! Бажаємо найкращих успіхів! BEST WISHES FOR A SUCCESSFU L CONVENTION!
