Three families continue tradition of gathering at Soyuzivka resort

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Twenty-five years ago, three unrelated families met at Soyuzivka. They have been vacationing at the Ukrainian National Association's resort ever since that chance meeting when they became great friends. What brought these families together was their membership in the UNA; what keeps them all coming back is friendship and the Ukrainian culture and traditions that are perpetuated at Soyuzivka. Seen in the photo are: (front row, from left) Maria Hejnal (who has celebrated all 21 of her birthdays at Soyuzivka), Mary Zayatz, Maryann Mysyshyn, Jonathan Hejnal, (back row) Shelly Zayatz Hejnal, Bill Prusinowski, Pat Burak Prusinowski, Catherine Cready, Billy Prusinowski, Anna Prusinowski, Ronald Cready, Susan Cready and Christine Cready.
