THE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FORUM
Branch 264 holds annual meeting
by Bohdan Hryshchyshyn
CARNEGIE, Pa. - The Ukrainian Trident Society, UNA Branch 264 in Carnegie, Pa., held its annual meeting on Saturday, February 21, at Ss. Peter and Paul Church hall.
After a lengthy discussion, meeting participants resolved to support the proposed merger of the UNA with the Ukrainian National Aid Association and the Ukrainian Fraternal Association, adopting the name Ukrainian National Fraternal Association.
To facilitate relations between branches of the three organizations, it was resolved to urge the Pittsburgh District Committee to sponsor a Ukrainian Fraternal Merger Day where everyone could acquaint themselves with members of the new organization.
Elections of officers resulted in the re-election of President Nicholas Kotow and Secretary Bohdan Hryshchyshyn. Paul Haluszczak was elected treasurer, and Mary Hryshchyshyn was elected assistant secretary.

1997 UNA organizers
Sincere thanks to the following UNA branch organizers who signed up five to eight members in 1997. As a result of their determined efforts, 177 new members joined their branches and our association. If all other branch secretaries had followed their example, the UNA would have completed its annual oranizing quota to the extent of at least 150 percent. It is our expectation that 1998, being a convention year, will be even more productive for these exceptional organizers and many more will join their ranks.
