XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 179 We were asked to raise money for the UNWLA National initiative Keep Ukraine Warm and with the approval of the National Board, we took on our own project to purchase a mobile ultrasound unit for field hospitals. Our annual picnic was held on October 29 at Maxine Barrett Park where we gathered, ate, sang songs, and socialized. Our efforts raised $10,000 for Keep Ukraine Warm and $6,300 towards the ultrasound unit. We honored the Ukrainian holiday Pershoho Lystopada (November 1) and commemorated the Holodomor with a program coordinated by Dr. Vira Bodnaruk. To participate and help the needy in our local community, Branch 56 annually allocates the proceeds from our monthly 50/50 to a local charitable cause. In December 2020, during the Branch monthly meeting, we held a food drive for a local food pantry, and donated $316.50, the proceeds from our monthly 50/50. The Branch 56 crafts group made Ukrainian Angels, which were distributed by our Social Welfare Committee in the gift baskets destined for our needy and housebound elderly. The remaining were sold at the bazaar, which earned $1,300.

In 2023, we designated the proceeds of our fundraising projects for the support of Ukrainians in need. We began the year with the gifted singers in our Branch participating in our annual traditional koliada, chaired by Roxolana Saciuk that raised $3,565. In January, President Bohdana Puzyk gave an informative presentation about the UNWLA, Ukrainian traditions, and customs to the Embroidery Guild in Fort Myers, Florida. We held our annual February zabava fundraiser, Karnaval for Ukraine, chaired by Lida Bilous. From the event, more than $4,700 was designated to help soldiers in Ukraine. Christyna Sheldon and Bohdana Puzyk represented UNWLA at the annual luncheon for the Greater Federation of Women’s Clubs in Fort Myers. In March, President Bohdana Puzyk was invited to the Greater Federation of Women’s Clubs meeting and honored with a donation from them to our humanitarian aid for Ukraine. Members attended a talk by Sarasota native, Nolan Peterson, Herald Tribune war correspondent and, first U.S. journalist embedded with the Ukrainian military after the invasion of Ukraine by russia. He shared his five-year experiences in the war.
