XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 194 community-at-large, as well as supporting various UNWLA events in New Jersey and the New York Metro area. Individual Branch members continue to be involved in humanitarian aid efforts at the UACCNJ and through local Ukrainian churches. With the end of the COVID pandemic, our Branch revived its 40-year-long tradition of delivering Easter baskets to the homebound. We continued a five-year-old program of sending greeting cards to the elderly at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Mother’s Day. More than 200 cards were sent out during three years. Our Branch organized prayer services (Pray in Pink) for those who suffer from breast cancer, as well as for the general health of our members. We also hosted a presentation by a massage therapist in order to learn how to better care for ourselves. ADVOCATE In support of the UNWLA advocacy policies, Branch 75 members participated in several celebrations and commemorations: the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence, the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor; first and second anniversary events of russia’s escalation of war against Ukraine. A significant number of our members attended the major rally in Washington DC in support of Ukraine held in February 2024. Members continue to attend annual Holodomor memorial services at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, and have participated in local parades during which Ukraine and the Ukrainian community were highlighted. We continue to support The Ukrainian Museum as members and participants in Museum programs. Our members have responded to the UNWLA initiative on decolonization of Ukrainian art and launched efforts to identify museums in New Jersey that have mislabeled Ukrainian artists as Russian. Our Branch, through the efforts of our Archives Chair, now participates in the UNWLA archive program begun at the national level, taking the necessary steps to organize Branch documents and history. Members participate in online UNWLA National Advocacy Committee meetings, and disseminate information urging elected federal, state, and local government officials to support Ukraine. We publicize our Branch activities and other UNWLA events through social media posts. Branch 75 is very proud that many of our members have shown a deep commitment to the UNWLA by accepting leadership roles at the national and regional levels. The National Executive Committee includes Nadia Nynka, First Vice-President; Karen Chelak, Financial Secretary; Oksana Lodziuk Krywulych, Officer-at- Large, UNWLA Fundraising Chair and XXXIII Convention Coordinator; Oka Hrycak, Chair, UNWLA Social Welfare Committee; Romana Labrosse, Editor-in-Chief, Our Life . Leaders in the New Jersey Regional Council include committee chairs Elizabeth Buniak, Social Welfare; Marusia Kvit-Flynn, Arts and Museum; and Oksana Lodziuk Krywulych, Audit, Public Relations, and past Council President. On October 21, 2023, Branch 75 joyfully celebrated our 50th anniversary - 50 years of activity and commitment to the Ukrainian cause - with a highly successful banquet and dance. Those Soyuzianky who became UNWLA members 50 years ago, or more, were honored, as were past Branch Presidents. A lovely program book was published for the occasion, and the history of the Branch was captured in a video montage. The event was not only great fun, but also raised $12,000 for UNWLA goals! BRANCH 75 GREETS ALL SISTER SOYUZIANKY, DELEGATES, PARTICIPANTS, AND GUESTS OF THE UNWLA XXXIII NATIONAL CONVENTION! FOR THE LEADERS AND ALL MEMBERS OF UNWLA, WE WISH INSPIRATION, PERSEVERANCE, AND CONTINUED SUCCESS IN OUR IMPORTANT WORK FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE UKRAINIAN COMMUNITY AND THE UKRAINIAN NATION. LET US REJOICE IN OUR ACHIEVEMENTS, AND LET US ALL WORK IN CONCERT TO PREPARE FOR THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNWLA IN 2025!
