Ukrainian Village elects new board

by Zenon Wasylkevych

WARREN, Mich. - This city is proud to have a unique residential complex for senior citizens called the Ukrainian Village Inc. It was under the auspices of HUD that this beautiful building was built 15 years ago.

The construction was the idea of the Detroit Regional Council of Ukrainian National Women's League of America. One of its board members at that time was the late Anastasia Volker, who, along with the support of other board members, promoted the idea. In 1979 it became the project of the whole community. The two-story building today consists of 145 residential units sprawled over six acres of land, right in the center of Warren's Ukrainian community. It is located very close to St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church, and other buildings of Ukrainian community organizations.

At the corporation's annual meeting, Stephen Wichar, who has served as president for many years, retired. A new slate was elected as follows: President Dr. Nicholas Palmer; First Vice-President Stefania Dub; Second Vice-President John Stojko; Third Vice-President and Treasurer Zenon Wasylkevych; Recording Secretary Olga Meyer; and Corresponding Secretary John Dodson.

Members of the board are: Dr. Michael Maddens, Justine Nelligan, Dr. Lawrence Palmer and Olga Solovey. Mr. Wichar was named honorary president and lifetime member of the board, and Jerry Karpinsky is counsellor-at-law.
