Credit unions sponsor The Ukrainian Weekly's Copies for Congress Project

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - In August/September of this year, The Ukrainian Weekly sent letters to 22 credit unions in the United States - the Ukrainian community's strongest financial institutions - in an effort to solicit financial support for the cost of complimentary subscriptions sent by this newspaper to all members of the U.S. Congress.

The goal was to offset this program's annual cost of approximately $27,000 which is currently funded by The Weekly but serves the interests of the entire Ukrainian community.

The first to respond were the newspaper's neighbors, Selfreliance (UA) Federal Credit Union, whose main office is in Newark, N.J., but which has a branch here in Parsippany in the UNA Corporate Headquarters Building.

Three other credit unions followed suit.

The donors as of November 23 were:

$5,000 - Self Reliance (NY) Federal Credit Union, New York;
$1,000 - Selfreliance (UA) Federal Credit Union, Newark, N.J.;
$1,000 - Rochester Ukrainian Federal Credit Union, Rochester, N.Y.;
$250 - Ukrainian Orthodox Federal Credit Union, New York.

The total raised thus far for the Copies for Congress Project is $7,250.

Comments on proposed UNA By-Laws changes

Branch 287

The following comment on the proposed changes to the UNA By-Laws was sent to UNA National Secretary Martha Lysko by UNA Branch 287, Sons of Ukraine. It was signed by Branch President Stepan Parubchak and Secretary Dana Jasinski.

We read and discussed with our members the proposed new By-Laws of the Ukrainian National Association and decided that, at this difficult time, new by-laws are not beneficial to the UNA.

We ask that the By-Laws of the Ukrainian National Association remain unaltered.
