Held at the spacious and elegant Short Hills, N.J., residence of Dr. and Mrs. Zenon Matkiwsky, the event took place over the Thanksgiving weekend and was attended by some 220 invited guests. Among the guests, principally from New Jersey and New York, were persons from as far away as Boston and Atlanta. The event was successful both because it was marvelously well organized and staged - guests commented favorably on everything from the at­ tractiveness of the invitations and party decorations to the bountifulness and excellence of the food and drink - and because it was attended by guests from a wide variety of age groups and professional backgrounds, and by persons who trace their immigration to the post-World War II period as well as those who trace their immigration to the рге-World War II period. At the midpoint of the masquerade, the association steering committee's chairperson, Dr. Bohdan Wytwycky, briefly addressed those'gathered to explain the association's character arid origins. As he explained it, the idea for the formation of this association came from Canada, where Ukrainian Canadians have an entire network of (professionals' The Matkiwsky family and guests at the masquerade with a cake to commemorate the association's and businesspersons' associations from coast to coast, inauguration and the host's birthday. the largest of which, as in Toronto, have members in the many hundreds.
