Still not too late to make reservations for UNA Seniors conference at Soyuzivka

by Anne Chopek

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. - Have you made your reservation for the 29th annual conference of UNA Seniors to be held at Soyuzivka from June 8 to 13?

To be sure that you will get accommodations, call the Ukrainian National Association Estate, (845) 626-5641 or write to Soyuzivka at P.O. Box 529, Kerhonkson, NY 12446

Soyuzivka is celebrating its 51st anniversary this year. As you recall all the vacations and weekends you spent there, the friends you met, the good times you had, wouldn't you like to repeat the experience? Since many of the friends you met are now seniors, the place to meet them once again is at the UNA Seniors conference.

We promise you a good time. The Conference begins with a divine liturgy at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Kerhonkson for our deceased members. The program includes a few brief sessions, a discussion of current events in Ukraine by Dr. Roman Baranowskyj, a talk on new publications issued by the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, by Dr. Roman Procyk and a talk on a medical matter of interest by Dr. Mary Dycio.

Also scheduled are: a Ukrainian sing-a-long, a welcoming party, a free bingo night, an auction of Ukrainian items, an Odesa Night dinner featuring various fish entrees, Ukrainian videos, slides of foreign visits, card games, a cocktail party on Veselka deck prior to an elegant anniversary banquet with speaker followed by dancing, and some free time for those who would like to have an afternoon of golf or shopping.

At some time during the conference participants will have an opportunity to meet with UNA President Stefan Kaczaraj, as well as with the new manager of Soyuzivka.

Seniors are asked to bring Ukrainian items for the auction. Also, it would be appreciated if seniors wear a Ukrainian blouse, shirt or tie as part of their banquet attire.

To get a special rate for your stay at Soyuzivka, UNA Seniors should bring a card or letter from their branch secretary verifying their UNA membership.

Anna Chopek is president of the UNA Seniors.
