XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 227 Established in 1975, Branch 118 currently has 34 members. As of March 2024, Branch 118 has grown by 11 members since the UNWLA XXXII National Convention in June 2021. Between June 15, 2021, and December 2021, we participated in the 58th Annual Houston Slavic Heritage Festival; held online fundraisers for UNWLA Oxygen for Life initiative and for Feeding America initiative in remembrance of those who died during the Holodomor. Branch 118 also continued to support two students through the UNWLA Scholarship Fund, made contributions to the Babusi Fund, the War Victims Fund, The Ukrainian Museum, Ukrainian Catholic University, and Our Life magazine. In 2022, our Branch participated in, and contributed to, the same initiatives as in 2021 Also, in 2022, together with other Ukrainian organizations in Houston, we planned a “Welcome to Houston - Ukrainian Family Picnic” in July to welcome new Ukrainian refugees to Houston. In 2023, a local chapter of Catholic Daughters of the Americas invited Branch 118 to give a talk about russia’s aggression in Ukraine. Members also spoke about what life was like for Ukrainians in America after World War II. The presentation was well received. In March 2023, Branch 118 held a 50-plus year anniversary celebration of UNWLA in Texas. The celebration was held in honor of Branch 14, the first Branch established in Texas, as well as in honor of first Branch President Justyna Uschak, and first Branch Treasurer Irene Pawlowski. In addition, we screened the recent release of the documentary film about Justyna Uschak’s experiences during World War II: “Ukraine’s Daughter—Justyna Uschak,” which is now available for viewing on YouTube.
