Branch 287 elects officers, delegates

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - Ukrainian National Association Branch 287, "Sons of Ukraine," held its pre-convention meeting here at the UNA Corporate Headquarters on Wednesday, February 25.

The meeting elected new branch officers as follows: Stephen Parubchak, president; Roma Hadzewycz, vice-president; Dana Jasinski, secretary; Taras Sochan, treasurer; Vasyl Shevchuk and Neonila Sochan, auditing committee.

Ms. Jasinski was elected as the branch's delegate to the UNA's 34th Convention; Mrs. Sochan was elected alternate.

Branch 287 members also discussed some of the issues that await delegates' action at the UNA Convention. They agreed that their delegate should vote at the convention to retain the Ukrainian National Association's current name, regardless of mergers with any other Ukrainian fraternal, and that the UNA should continue publishing Svoboda as a daily newspaper.

Also approved at the meeting were fraternal donations from the branch to the Ukrainian Catholic Church now being restored in Peremyshl, and to the Ukrainian National Home in Sianok, both on ethnographically Ukrainian territory in Poland.
