UNWLA slates 27th national convention

by Marianna Zajac

ALBANY, N.Y. - In 2005 the Ukrainian National Women's League of America will celebrate 80 years of a long, fruitful history of giving to the community both here and in Ukraine. On May 27-30 the Central New York Regional Council will host the UNWLA's 27th national convention at the Albany Marriott in Albany, N.Y.

It's been over 20 years since New York state has hosted the triennial convention, and this will present a great opportunity for many women and visitors from the tri-state area and beyond to attend the convention. In addition, the New York capitol area has many historical and interesting sights to offer; convention delegates will be offered a tour of the Capitol.

The pre-convention program on Friday evening will feature "Ukrainian Women in the American Media" with representatives from TV, radio and publishing. At Sunday's banquet, the Young Ukrainian Women's Achievement Awards will be presented to nominees from around the country.

Delegates to the 27th convention will elect a slate of officers to lead the organization into the ninth decade of its all-volunteer humanitarian activities. The organization's past three years of activities will be reviewed and plans for the future will be laid out.

The 2005 convention's slogan, "From all the yesterdays, through all the tomorrows," says it all: UNWLA members are very excited about honoring and revisiting the organization's rich past of accomplishments, as well as celebrating the achievements of today's young talented women.
