KERHONKSON, N.Y. - It's still not too late to make reservations for the UNA Seniors' Week at Soyuzivka, which begins Sunday evening, June 12, and continues through Friday, June 17.

The UNA Seniors were organized over 30 years ago. The group has been holding annual conferences for many years, bringing together many seniors to enjoy each other's company, share news about various communities and listen to interesting speakers - all in a beautiful setting at Soyuzivka.

This year there will be an interesting program beginning with a special banquet on Sunday evening honoring centenarian Dr. Roman Baranowsky who will be celebrating this milestone birthday.

On Monday the conference will begin with the traditional celebration of divine liturgy at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Kerhonkson for deceased members. Registration and a general business meeting will begin on Monday.

During the rest of the week there will be sing-alongs, a free bingo night, an auction of Ukrainian items, an Odesa dinner, a movie, a cocktail party at Veselka, a banquet with dancing, an art exhibit and a special day trip to New York City to The Ukrainian Museum.

Special guest speakers - Ihor Hayda, Ada Helbig, Christine Kozak, Nestor Olesnycky, Roman Procyk, Oksana Sokolyk, and Dr. Bohdar Woroch - will cover varied topics of interest and benefit to one and all.

During the conference, seniors will have an opportunity to meet with UNA President Stefan Kaczaraj and Nestor Paslawsky, the manager of Soyuzivka.

All the participants are encouraged to bring Ukrainian items for the auction. For the dinner banquet on Thursday evening, all are asked to wear Ukrainian attire, be it a blouse, kyptar, dress, shirt, tie, etc.
