by Marta Baczynsky

SPRING LAKE, N.J. - Surrounded by old-fashioned ambiance of a Vic­ torian seaside resort, The Ukrainian Museum once again welcomed mem­ bers and friends to its annual get together in Spring Lake, N.J. More than 150 guests gathered at the stately Warren Hotel overlooking a sandy Atlantic beach to enjoy good company, an excellent lunch and a fun-filled fashion show. The museum fund-raiser at Spring Lake has become a tradition. Whether the planned program calls for an art show or a recital, the opportunity to partake in a carefree afternoon by the sea is eagerly awaited and anticipated by friends of the museum. This time, on a warm Sunday in June the agenda of the afternoon took a different twist. Tatiana Tershakovec, chair person of the special events committee from the Olenka Cherwoniak models an outfit from the L'Amoire Adriana Luchechko wears a design by Olha Pavlenko Jarema toard of trustees, announced "Let the boutique of New Canaan, Conn. of Ukraine which is based on Ukrainian folk art. show begin."
