The agenda was concise, as this was a special meeting of the General Assembly held during a convention year. At the conclusion of the meeting, President Kaczaraj commented: “We have a good group of advisors who can help us promote the UNA.” He and his fellow executive officers said they were impressed with the willingness of the new General Assembly to get together and work for the good of the UNA, while looking at creative new approaches to promote the 112-year-old fraternal organization.
