Our PurposeThe purpose of UNWLA, Inc. is to unite women of Ukrainian descent and those affiliated with the Ukrainian community. Click here to read more about us.To our Membership & Our Life readers,
Over the weekend of August 28th - 29th, the UNWLA
(CYA)/UCCA headquarters building located at 203 2nd Avenue in NYC suffered
damages from a fire in the stairwells of the upper floors. Our conference
rooms had ceiling and floor water damage. All of the files, books,
records and equipment in the office areas were spared due to the protection
of the fire doors. Unfortunately, the stairwell and elevator
damage limits access to the CYA offices and has forced us to close the
facility until repairs are complete. The good news is that the daily
operations of the CYA offices will continue as usual but at a
temporary location. Please continue to send correspondence to the 2nd
Avenue address. If you need to call the office, please leave a message
with a contact number and your call will be returned promptly. Sending
e-mails will be the quickest form of communication with the office
administrator, Olya Stasiuk. We will not, however, have the ability
to receive faxes until the offices are reopened.
We will continue to post updates on our website as they become available. Thank you for your patience, e-mails, phone calls and well wishes. We WILL get through this. Marianna Zajac ![]()

Calendar ![]() Sharing Thoughts Views & News for July & August 2010In the May and June issues of Our Life, I wrote with a heavy heart about the disturbing events taking place in Ukraine. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, they continue. On Tuesday, June 15, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Volodymyr Vasylenko, Ukraine’s representative to the United Nations Human Rights Council, was dismissed. The council is the main body that exercises control over observance of human rights throughout the world.
