Who's who at Suzy-Q

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - As Soyuzivka opened its 45th summer season, Sonia Semanyshyn, the resort's office manager, took some time out to speak with The Ukrainian Weekly.

She reported that the summer staff is composed of nearly 70 employees who work in the office, the kitchen and dining room, in maintenance and housekeeping, and at Soyuzivka's children's camps.

What follows is a brief account of who is who (or, more appropriately who is responsible for what) at Soyuzivka during the summer of 1999.

John A. Flis continues as manager of the Ukrainian National Association's resort, a position he has held since 1987.

Ms. Semanyshyn is the office manager, as well as the manager of the Soyuzivka gift shop. In November Ms. Semanyshyn marks 10 years at the resort.

Tanya Singura is the activities director, and there are two children's activities coordinators, Tatiana Flis and Karolina Kalinowska.

Chef "Snake," Andrij Sonevytsky, who has been with Soyuzivka for seven years, even while a student at the renowned Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., continues to delight guests with his culinary expertise. He is assisted by a staff that includes last year's maitre d', Yaro Strohyj, a student at the Culinary Institute who will go on from Soyuzivka to an internship at Disney World in Florida. Bill Swiach is the maitre d'.

There is a new operations manager in the person of Taras Tiutiunnyk; the executive housekeeper is Daria Nyzankiwsky.

Dawn Pryhoda is manager of the Q-Cafe, and Andrij Cade is the bar manager.

Working together, the Soyuzivka staff aims to make the summer of 1999 pleasant and memorable for all guests.
