XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 224 In the fall of 2021, at the height of the COVID pandemic, we enjoyed a virtual presentation via Zoom of the Lesia Ukrainka play “Forest Song” ( Лісова Пісня ), translated and staged by Virlana Tkacz of LaMaMa Theatre in New York City. An interesting discussion with director Virlana Tkacz followed. The 45th anniversary of the founding of The Ukrainian Museum by the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America was celebrated in 2022. Alla Leshko and Daria Mehrle were on the Organizing Committee of the 45th Anniversary Luncheon. Many of our Branch members attended the celebration and fundraising event. The event also marked the retirement of Maria Shust, the Museum’s longtime director who had been at the helm of the Museum since its inception – 45 significant years. This important and enormously successful celebration, which raised substantial funds for The Ukrainian Museum, was held at the beautiful Water Club on the East River in Manhattan. Our Branch was proud to welcome Maria Shust as a member upon her retirement from the Museum. In 2023, The Ukrainian Museum held an important exhibit under the leadership of the new director Peter Doroshenko featuring the work of the acclaimed Ukrainian artist Maria Prymachenko. Our Branch contributed $1,000 as a sponsor of this exhibit. Recently, a substantial number of her works were destroyed during the russian bombardment of the Prymachenko Museum near Kyiv . The brutal escalation in February 2022 by russia in its war against Ukraine compelled us to direct most of our efforts toward helping Ukraine. We sent packages with warm winter clothing to Ukrainian soldiers in Zhytomyr and received a moving thank-you letter with numerous signatures and a hramota . During the 2022 and 2023 Christmas seasons, we organized a Christmas card campaign requesting donations for Ukraine. The campaign was a great success! The artwork for the card campaign was created by Branch member Lydia Piaseckyj. We participated in various UNWLA National fundraising initiatives, such as Widows of Heroes of Ukraine, the Babusi Fund, Keep Ukraine Warm, and the Zemliachky initiative for Ukrainian women soldiers. All these fundraising efforts enabled us to contribute more than $22,000 in humanitarian aid. Alexandra Rakowsky has done brilliant, long-term work as Scholarship Chair, expanding our Branch sponsorships under this program. A gratifying moment for our members, as well as for all UNWLA members in the greater New York City area, came on February 22, 2024, the second anniversary of russia’s barbaric and criminal war against Ukraine. We watched as many monumental New York City skyscrapers lit up in blue-and-yellow, the colors of the Ukrainian flag. Branch 113 Advocacy Chair, Barbara Senzone has established personal contacts with local, state, and federal government officials to advocate for Ukraine, and was behind the success of this endeavor. Like clockwork, Barbara has been sending Branch members email reminders to “CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!” SLAVA UKRAINI!
