COMMUNITY CHRONICLE: Ten debut at Chervona Kalyna ball

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The Chervona Kalyna Ball was held on February 21 here at the Sheraton Meadowlands Hotel. Ten debutantes were presented to more than 900 guests, approximately two-thirds of whom were youth attending from as far away as California and the Midwest. Dr. Yaroslaw Stawnychy, chairman of the ball committee, greeted the guests and introduced the many distinguished members of the Ukrainian diplomatic corps and their spouses, including Ukraine's Ambassador to the United States Yuri Shcherbak and his wife, Maria, as well as Dina Uvodenko, wife of Ukraine's foreign affairs minister and president of the United Nations General Assembly, Hennadii Udovenko (who has since resigned his Cabinet post). The annual Chervona Kalyna Ball is sponsored by the Chervona Kalyna Plast fraternity. Next year's ball will be held at the same venue on February 13, 1999.
