The average face amount of insurance purchased by members was 56,933. Enrollment of the aforementioned new members was achieved through the work of tireless branch secretaries and members of the UNA Supreme Assembly. 4. The Recording Department was engaged in multi-faceted work in several areas: conducting wide-ranging correspondence with branch secretaries, answering their letters, providing excellent and full insurance service to members. And, because new classes of insurance had come into force during the report period, the correspondence of the Recording Department doubled in volume. The Recording Department also efficiently and accurately issued new certificates, assessment lists and dues notices, and handled many other matters that constitute full insurance service to members, while utilizing its і new computer system.

The Soyuzivka resort successfully fulfills its role, first of all, as a Ukrainian cultural center through presentations of the best performing ensembles. It has also become an attractive center for Ukrainian youth. The Supreme Auditing Committee is pleased to note that the Executive Committee has proceeded with the construction of a new two-story building with 24 rooms for Soyuzivka employees. Also praiseworthy is the fact that general renovations and modernization of all accommodations, including the reconstruction of the Yasinnia building, are being effected at the resort. 7.
