Self Reliance Association organizes trip to Pennsy

NEW YORK - The Self Reliance Association of American Ukrainians (N.Y.), as part of its continuing recreational program for senior citizens organized a bus trip to Pennsylvania Dutch country in Lancaster, Pa., on May 20. Forty-seven members of the Self Reliance Association toured the sprawling farms of the Amish. The participants particularly enjoyed their visit to a 200-year-old Amish farmhouse, where they learned about the Amish customs, crafts, religion and lifestyle. During a visit to the Anderson Pretzel Factory, the tourists stocked up on pretzels for the ride home. On the way home, the seniors entertained their bus driver with a variety of Ukrainian songs. The trip was made possible in part by the New York City Department for the Aging, and was coordinated by Oksana Lopatynsky and Irena D'Alessio.
