by Anna Chopek

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. - The time for the 25th anniversary conference of the Ukrainian National Association Seniors is almost here.

The week of June 13-18 promises a host of day and evening activities, including an auction of Ukrainian items, several cocktail parties, an anniversary party with a program and dancing, Ukrainian videos, card games, bingo, short business sessions and a special liturgy for UNA Seniors now deceased.

There will be a panel discussion by Dr. Roman Baranowsky and Dr. Roman Procyk on the latest developments in Ukraine, including the upcoming presidential elections. There will also be a talk by attorney Anna Chopek on legal problems of the elderly. Both presentations will be followed by question and answer periods. Seniors will have an opportunity to meet with UNA President Ulana Diachuk at a session on Thursday afternoon. An anniversary banquet with Dr. Bohdan Vitvitsky as keynote speaker will conclude the conference.

Since Wednesday afternoon will be free of any sessions, participants are advised to bring golf clubs, or bathing suits, and have fun.

Participants will also have an opportunity to enjoy the exhibit of photos taken of the members and their activities over the past 25 years.

Seniors who have served in an office of the association in the past are urged to attend as they will be welcomed and formally introduced to the members.

Seniors' week at the UNA resort will be busy and enjoyable. It is not too late to call Soyuzivka at (914) 626-5641 to make reservations.

Anna Chopek is president of the UNA Seniors.
