Our
social convener, Anna Adamowich, arranged for the dinner to be held at
the Linden Restaurant on Tuesday May 23 2003, and made all the arrangements
for reservations, the door prizes and the raffle. Anna arranged to have
each lady receive a long stem carnation from the UNF Toronto Branch.
Our
treasurer, Irene Potopilny, and Executive Members, Senta Wozniuk and Lydia
Perets, were there to help. Olya Leschuk made up the posters and the tickets.
Our
cultural conveners, Orysia Sopinka-Chwaluk and Vera Rohozynsky-Storoniak
contacted our guest speaker, Councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby.
Councillor
Luby delighted and enthralled the audience with her personal and warm address.
She invited us into her world as a daughter, mother, wife and politician
and we all enjoyed sharing in these small pieces of her life. Councillor
Luby represents Ward 4 Etobicoke.
During
the evening a few poems were read, including a beautiful surprise reading
from Roxolana Chwaluk, daughter of Mr and Mrs Zenon Chwaluk.
The
evening ended on a happy note. We were pleased that we had attended because
we had a chance to talk to each other, heard Gloria Lindsay Luby speak
and learned a little more about the world around us.
