UKRAINIANS IN AUSTRALIA MARK FAMINE ANNIVERSARY
Australia's Ukrainian community has commenced its year-long commemorative
program of the 70th anniversary of the Great Famine in Ukraine 1932-33. On
Sunday, December 1, 2002 a national commemoration was held in Canberra,
Australia's capital, with memorial services at the Shrine of Remembrance for
Victims of the Great Famine. Stefan Romaniw, Chairman of the Australian
Federation of Ukrainian Organizations, stressed the need for recognition of

ST. VOLODYMYR AWARD
The highest distinction awarded by the UWC to individuals is the St.
Volodymyr medal. During this term the Rules and Regulations (R&R) regarding
this award were amended and delineated with some specificity. At its last
limited session the UWC Presidium appointed a St. Volodymyr Medal Commission
to consider applications. According to the R&R, only UWC member central
umbrella organizations and the World Federation of Ukrainian Women's
Organizations are in a position to submit candidates with argumentation by
February 7, 2003. This will to allow ample time for the Commission to
consider nominees and submit recommendations so that the UWC Presidium
meeting in February can decide what recommendations to accept. The list of
accepted nominees will then be submitted to all central umbrella
organizations for further deliberation. Finally the Presidium meeting in May
2003 will rule on the final award recipients. Please bear in mind that while
the R&R provide a wide spectrum for submissions, "particular input in the
development of Ukrainian life", this criterion needs to be assessed at its
superlative level. Any nominations submitted after February 7, 2003 will not
be considered.
