FROM YOUR PRESIDENT,
STEVEN JAKYMIWSeptember 30, 1999 Dinner Meeting Awards Night
Our first dinner meeting was our annual Awards Night where we all had a chance to honour Lydia Hladyshevsky with a Lifetime Honorary Member Award. This is in recognition of the time and talents she has put into our community.
In addition we awarded two scholarships. Winner of the Osvita Outstanding Accomplishment Award was Melanie Hnatiuk, a student at the University of Alberta. Winner of the Osvita Distinguished Achievement Award was Sergiy Polovy, a student at SAIT. Congratulations to both!
On behalf of the membership I would like to thank Olga Kizlyk Scarpari, Liz Wilson and Dr. Peter Harasym for their efforts in choosing the scholarship recipients.
Federation News:

- Millennium Project to recognize contributions of Ukrainians to Canada
- Trip to Ukraine-in year 2000 (details to follow)
- Mentoring Program to precipitate one-on-one contact with counterparts in Ukraine
- Care-Giver Program - are there members in our community that require "nannies" or help for elderly members.
- If anyone is interested in any of the last three projects please let me know and I will put your name on the list. The greatest interest so far is the trip to Ukraine.
