A Ukrainian Summer

Supplement to The Ukrainian Weekly, May 4, 2003

It's that time of year again - time for our annual issue of "A Ukrainian Summer." And this year marks the seventh year for this special supplement in The Ukrainian Weekly.

Our 2003 supplement invites readers to come home to Soyuzivka, the beloved resort owned by the Ukrainian National Association that this year continues celebrations of its 50th anniversary, while looking ahead to the future with a new management team and a development program in place.

Readers will discover that there is much to do this summer Ukrainian-wise, from discovering Kyiv's international restaurants, to attending courses at Harvard and enjoying the vibrant program at the Grazhda in the Hunter area. And then there is the array of camps, workshops and courses. You can use your summer to learn one or more of the following: scuba, golf, bandura, folk dancing, the Ukrainian language, paintball, mountaineering, tennis, soccer, mountain biking, sailing, canoeing ... Whew! There are so many choices!

To top it all off, there are fabulous and fun-filled festivals: from New York City to Horsham and Lehighton, Pa., and on to Toronto and San Diego. Indeed, what would a Ukrainian summer be without our festivals?

So much to do during such a short season - so, read, choose and enjoy!
