Orphans' Aid Society elects officers

NEW YORK - The Orphans' Aid Society recently held its annual meeting in New York to review the organization's work and to elect a new board of directors. A special focus of the meeting was the 2000 summer camp held in Varzol, a suburb of Kyiv, for orphans with the aim of promoting Ukrainian awareness. Twenty-one high school and university students from 10 oblasts of Ukraine participated in the educational camp, which encompassed Ukrainian history, literature and language, as well as English. (A videotape about the summer camp is available free of charge upon request.) The society hopes to hold the summer camp once again this year and is now seeking donations to help support this activity. Seen above are members of the newly elected board of directors: (seated from left) George Woloshyn, Maria Jowyk, Bohdan Siryk, (standing) Mike Pawluk, George Nestorczuk, John Szwanyk, Harold Bochonko and Ihor Kotlarchuk.
