Miss Soyuzivka: a role model for Ukrainian youth

by Orysia Hanushevsky

A short while ago 1 was granted the honor of greeting Archbishop-Metropolitan Stephen Sulyk during his first official visit to Soyuzivka. John Flis, supreme president of the UNA, gave a heartfelt speech welcoming the metropolitan to the "Little Ukraine" we all know as Soyuzivka. This past year 1 had the experience of representing the youth of the UNA and that piece of Ukrainian land transplanted within our American society. This great responsibility lay in not just making a good impression, but in serving as a role model for Ukrainian youth. Throughout the year 1 partici– pated in panel discussions, "akademias," group meetings and cultural artistic programs which І hope enabled me to portray more than a superficial image. Some of the activities included singing apd dancing in heritage festivals, singing at dances, participating in local UNA meetings, acting as a panelist on the theme of "Hromada as a Means of Cultural Development" at the SUSTA conference, speaking about the historical implications of Ukrainian independence Day and guest participant representing the UNA at the annual Press Ball. During the summer 1 had the opportunity to participate in cultural^artistic courses sponsored by the UNA and to contribute to the highly Orysia Hanushevsky looks over summer photographs with her friends. successful Celebration of Youth.
