by Adrian B. Pidlusky

WASHINGTON - The Washington Group is once again offering 10 free one-year student memberships. Thirty-two students have signed on for free membership since June 1998. All full-time students attending an accredited institution qualify. The regular price for student membership is $15.

TWG is an active and progressive Ukrainian American professionals' association based in Washington. TWG members are found not only in Washington, however, but also in more than 25 U.S. states, as well as Ukraine, Canada and elsewhere around the world.

The purposes of TWG are to establish a professional and business network of Ukrainian Americans in order to promote closer ties and contacts, strive to eliminate discrimination and prejudice aimed at Ukrainian Americans, facilitate close U.S.-Ukraine relations, nourish the development of a pluralistic and democratic Ukraine, encourage active participation of Ukrainian Americans in advancing the welfare of the community (and to have a good time in the process).

All TWG members receive: the organization's newsletter, TWG News, which includes job announcements; the TWG Membership Directory, listing contact information for professionals around the world in a variety of fields and organizations; invitations to panels, symposiums and lectures hosted by TWG throughout the year; the opportunity to attend concerts, art exhibits and receptions sponsored by TWG; and additional invitations to a wide range of social gatherings, including happy hours and outings.

Recent TWG events include: a Ukrainian Valentine's Day Party at a local restaurant; a forum with the special advisor to the U.S. secretary of state on the new independent states; a performance by the Kyiv Camerata and Leontovych String Quartet; and a happy hour at the Buffalo Billiards Bar and Grill.

All students qualify for the $25 discount for the June Conference of Ukrainian Organizations in Washington. For more information on the conference see the website at http://www.TheWashingtonGroup.org, or call 1-888-RX-UMANA.
