UNA praises election monitoring project

Below is the full text of a letter sent on January 17 by the Ukrainian National Association to Michael Sawkiw, president of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, commending the UCCA on its coordinaion of election monitors for Ukraine's presidential election.

Dear Mr. Sawkiw:

On behalf of the Ukrainian National Association Inc. we would like to thank you for the tremendous effort put forth by you and your staff with regard to organizing and coordinating election observers for all three rounds of Ukraine's election for president. We would like to acknowledge the massive effort and personal dedication of your tireless staff and volunteers in New York, New Jersey, Washington and Kyiv.

Specifically, we appreciate the awe-inspiring effort that was involved in organizing the election observers for the unexpected third round of elections held on December 26, 2004, in which an unprecedented 2,400 Ukrainian Americans participated under the auspices of UCCA.

I, personally, was especially proud to have taken part in this effort as an UCCA-sponsored election observer to Kirovohrad.

Your willingness to undertake the tremendous task of coordinating and organizing the election observers is appreciated by the community at large for, without this effort, the outcome of the historic vote on December 26, 2004, may have been entirely different.

Please accept this letter as a sincere acknowledgement of our gratitude for your efforts.

For the Executive Committee:
Stefan Kaczaraj
President
