UNA Convention Committee welcomes delegates to Soyuzivka

by Oksana Trytjak
Convention Committee Chairman

The UNA has a proud history of 112 years of service to the Ukrainian community. Over the years, the UNA held 35 conventions throughout the United States and Canada. The 36th Convention will be held on May 26-29, marking the first time this gathering will take place in our own backyard, at Soyuzivka in Kerhonkson, N.Y.

The Convention Committee has spent much time and energy in planning and preparing a program that will remind each participant of the value of Soyuzivka. We hope that all of you enjoy the wonderful setting of Soyuzivka.

Since Ukraine's independence the UNA has become more mindful of focusing on our Ukrainian communities in the diaspora. We must concentrate on supporting our organizations, churches and various cultural, educational and social institutions here in the United States and Canada.

We trust that the 36th UNA Convention will produce resolutions that will be meaningful and productive. Hopefully, they will remind us of the value of the oldest and largest Ukrainian fraternal association in the world - the Ukrainian National Association. We must work together to promote the UNA as the organization that unites the Ukrainian community.

Soyuzivka is eager to welcome the 36th UNA Convention's delegates, members of the General Assembly, UNA members and special guests, and promises you wonderful memories to take home.

Correction

Due to typographical errors in the Young UNA'ers column in the April 30 issue, two daughters were listed as sons. Maya Maria Nyzhnykevych is the daughter of Olena and Yuriy Nyzhnykevych; and Nicole Emilia Deychakiwsky is the daughter of Nicholas Deychakiwsky and Oksana Pronych. We apologize for the error.
