Worobec UNA Supreme Auditing Committee сщс Fraternal Activities Director The Supreme Auditing Committee, newly elected at the 32nd Regular Convention of the Ukrainian National Association, conducted a review of the operations and organizing status of this, the oldest Ukrainian institution in UNA fraternalist honored at congress the diaspora, which will soon commemorate the 100th anniversary of its founding. Also reviewed were the operations of UNA publications and the print shop, the Ukrainian National Urban Renewal Corp. and the Soyuzivka estate. The Auditing Committee's review was conducted on November 8-11, 1990, by William Pastuszek, Wasyl Didiuk and Stefan Hawrysz. (Anatole Doroshenko and Taras Szmagala were unable to participate.) As a result of its review, the Supreme Auditing Committee states the following: 1. The Ukrainian National Association during its convention year continued its tradition of dedicated service to its members and the Ukrainian community, with special attention to the historic events associated with Ukraine's national rebirth. Thus, efforts were made to provide material and moral assistance to our brothers and sisters during this historic period when they are striving in a unified manner toward a free and independent Ukraine. 2. Despite large expenses associated with the 32nd UNA Convention, the UNA's assets as of September 30, 1990, totalled 564,012,860, and membership dues collected during the first nine months of the year amounted to 52,144,175. 3. During the first nine months of this year, 1,265 new members were enrolled into the UNA; they were insured for a total of 57,325,000. The enrollment of these new members is due solely to the efforts of Secretaries and other branch officers, who were and are the foundation of the UNA.
