Pobratymy fraternity makes donation to Plast

by Oleh Skubiak

CHICAGO - The Pobratymy Foundation Inc., established in 1992 by members of Plast's Pobratymy Fraternity, recently made a contribution of $4,716 to support developmental activities of the Plast Ukrainian Scouting Organization.

The contribution was made at a recent reception celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Plast Chicago Chapter at Ss. Volodymyr and Olha Community Center in Chicago.

The Pobratymy Foundation Inc. has made numerous contributions over the past several years to support Plast, particularly in the area of counselor training. It has made contributions to the Plast Chicago Chapter, the Plast National Executive Council, and to candidates for "Lisova Shkola" (a rigorous counselor training camp) from both North America and Ukraine.

The Pobratymy Foundation is limited to making contributions to Plast and other 501(c) (3) organizations that support the stated purposes of the fraternity: to renew and strengthen Plast; to encourage excellence and self-improvement; to encourage identification and cooperation among Ukrainian youth; and to inform others about Ukraine.

This year's contribution was the result of a new fund-raising activity organized by the Pobratymy Fraternity - the first annual plast Chicago Golf Outing.

The second annual Plast Chicago Golf Outing is scheduled for Saturday, September 9, at Renwood Golf Club, in the Chicago area, near Round Lake, Ill. The scramble-format tournament will be followed by an awards dinner, including steaks, refreshments, music and entertainment. Interested parties should contact Ihor Hrynewycz at (312) 829-8146 or [email protected].
