by Andrew Hrechak
KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Nearly 20 participants of Club Suzie-Q gathered at Soyuzivka on August 12-19, spending an enjoyable time together at the welcoming resort.
The week started with members enjoying the sounds of Tempo and the festivities associated with the selection of Miss Soyuzivka.
While wandering the trails of Soyuzivka, they also experienced the nature and pleasures of nearby attractions.
On Sunday, a group scaled the peaks of Hunter Mountain (via the sky-ride, of course). They also had a personalized tour of the Ukrainian church in Hunter, N.Y.
On Monday, the traditional adventure hike at Mohonk became a highlight of the week. Serious hikers, as well as the casual ones, had a great time together. Steak Night at Soyuzivka topped off the evening.
Other adventures during the week included a hike and shopping venture at New Paltz, a casual stroll around the lake at Minnewaska, miniature golf and, of course, hiking the trails of Soyuzivka.
The week was completed with Hutsul and Odesa nights, and with some quality time at the Tiki Bar. Opportunities for adventure were all around, as participants of all ages enjoyed each other's company, sharing many happy and exciting experiences.
Next year's Club Suzie-Q Week gathering at Soyuzivka has been set for August 11-18. Contact Soyuzivka at 845-626-5641 for room reservations. For more information and opportunities to get involved with organizing new club activities, please contact Andrew Hrechak @ ahrechak@njit.edu.
A new event planned for this year at Soyuzivka is the Fall Weekend during Halloween weekend (October 28-29). Planned activities include hiking, the Saturday zabava (dance), and the viewing of pictorial highlights of Club Suzie-Q 2006.
New members are always welcome to experience this ongoing camaraderie of fellow Ukrainians in a very casual and welcoming setting.
