UNA’ers maintain Taras Shevchenko Place

TROY, N.Y. – Between the “liquid sunshine” on May 11, members of the Brotherhood Society of St. Nicholas (Bratstvo) and UNA Branch 13 found some dry weather during which to clean up Taras Shevchenko Place in Troy, N.Y. Maintaining the pocket park is a community service project adopted by Bratstvo/UNA Branch 13 about a decade ago. Every year, members clean up the area at least twice to beautify the neighborhood and to honor the memory of Ukraine’s historic national bard. Seen above (from left) are Bratstvo members Ivan Uruskyj, Bruce Plekan, Slavko Tysiak and Mykola Fil.
