IN MEMORIAM

IRENE GAYOWSKY

Honourary Member, UCPBA(O)

     Peacefully on Friday, March 23, 2007. Irene Gayowsky in her 102nd year. Beloved mother of Cornelia Kuchmy of Surrey, England and former UCPBA(O) members Nestor Gayowsky and his wife Tela of Qualicum Beach, British Columbia.

     Irene came to Canada in 1910 , at the age of six, accompanying her parents from Western Ukraine. Following Normal School, she began a life-long career in education at the age of 17 which ended, except for interludes of raising her two children, in 1969. Her energy, love and teaching, intellectual curiosity (international travel was one aspect), openness and liveliness of mind will be dearly missed by her family, many friends and neighbours both in Winnipeg and Ottawa. She was an active member of the Winnipeg Ukrainian Community and volunteered in many organizations there, particularly at the Ukrainian National Home prior to her move to Ottawa at the age of 86

     Interment will be alongside her beloved husband at All Saints Cemetery, Winnipeg at a later date.

WANT TO GET ACTIVE IN OTTAWA’S UKRAINIAN COMMUNITY,
BUT NOT CERTAIN ABOUT HOW TO DO IT?

TAKE US FOR A TEST DRIVE!

Kick the tires!

Look under the hood!

Sit in the driver’s seat!

Honk the horn!

Attend a Board of Directors meeting- with no obligation to buy-in!

Attend a Board meeting and find out that this isn’t your mother’s Ukrainian-Canadian organization:

Meetings last a maximum of 90 minutes

Discussion is focused on substantive issues (that is, unless the President allows the Newsletter Editor to speak!)

Have your say in making UCPBA(O) a more effective community service and fraternal organization
