XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 177 In May 2021, delegates to the UNWLA XXXII National Convention, Vira Bodnaruk, Lesia Popel, Ksenia Rakowsky, Ann-Marie Susla, and Roksolana Yarymovych participated in a Zoom roundtable discussion of proposed changes and amendments to the UNWLA Bylaws. In June, delegates participated via Zoom in the UNWLA XXXII Convention, which was held virtually. Branch 56 members Nadia Iwanczuk and Orysia Zinycz were awarded UNWLA Gold Pins for 50 years of service in the UNWLA. Branch 56 received awards for extraordinary accomplishment in six UNWLA programs. In September 2021, the Branch held the first post-Convention general meeting with 26 members attending. In October, we agreed to donate $300 towards the purchase of diapers much needed by the Puhachiv Znamianka orphanage in Kropyvnytskyi, formerly Kirovograd. Worthy of note is that Branch 56 member Halya Lisnyczyj published a cookbook of her favorite recipes; proceeds from the sale of her cookbook are used to help cover the costs of running the orphanage. To date, Halya has donated $33,000 to this orphanage. In November 2021, Branch 56 held the bi-annual elections for Board positions. The newly elected Board members were: President Bohdana Puzyk Богдана Пужик First Vice President Ksenia Rakowsky Ксеня Раковська Second Vice President Lidia Bilous Ліда Білоус Recording Secretary Ksenia Kuzmycz Ксеня Кузьмич Treasurer Ann-Marie Susla Анна Марія Сусла Press Secretary Pat Zalisko Пат Заліско Committee Chairs Organization Ivanka Olesnycky Іванка Олесницька Culture Affairs and Education Oksana Lew (resigned) Оксана Лев Social Welfare Halya Lisnyczyj Галя Ліснича Arts and Museum Slava Stefanyshyn Слава Стефанишин Scholarship Lieda Boyko Ліда Бойко Archives Roma Guran Рома Ґуран Audit Maria Hirak/Roxolana Saciuk М.Гірак/Р. Сацюк Meeting Hostess Klara Spichka/Roxolana Yarymovych Christyna Sheldon К. Спічка/Р. Яримович Христина Шелдон In December 2021, the UNWLA National Board made an urgent appeal to address the unprecedented wave of COVID-19 infections in Ukraine. They asked Branches to assist with a short-term, intensive campaign to raise funds for much-needed oxygen concentrators in Ukraine. Branch 56 donated $500.00 to the appeal of the Oxygen for Life campaign. Due to a COVID outbreak in our Ukrainian community, the January meeting of Branch 56 was canceled. The installation of the new Board members was postponed until the first Tuesday of February 2022. On February 24, 2022, putin escalated his genocidal war against Ukraine. From that horrific date, our Branch mobilized immediately to help Ukraine and her people. However, members were deeply concerned by news of the war coming from Ukraine. Members of Branch 56 with immediate family members in Ukraine presented a program during which they shared news from family members.
