UNA's 36th Convention begins

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - As this issue of The Ukrainian Weekly goes to press on Friday morning, May 26, the Ukrainian National Association's 36th Regular Convention gets under way at Soyuzivka. This will be the first time in the fraternal organization's 112-year history that its convention will be held at its own estate, located in Kerhonkson, N.Y., in the scenic Catskill region.

The convention program includes reports by members of the General Assembly, that is, executive officers, auditors and advisors; elections of a new General Assembly; voting on amendments to the UNA By-Laws; a discussion about the development of Soyuzivka and the recently established Soyuzivka Heritage Foundation; and a discussion about the future of the UNA's activity in Canada.

In addition, during their four-day stay at Soyuzivka, delegates will have an opportunity to attend a Hutsul-themed dinner and program on Friday, May 26; a "Tastes of the World" dinner on Saturday, May 27; and a concert and gala convention banquet on Sunday, May 28.

The theme of the 36th UNA Convention, which continues through Monday, May 29, Memorial Day, is "UNA: Ukrainians United."
