UPNS Stamp Meet "Zustrich 2020" - June 12-14

CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19

Mark your calendars! "ZUSTRICH 2019" is being held on June 12-14 at the Ukrainian Homestead just outside Lehighton, PA. A few members arrive Friday by 6pm to catch up with friends and rest after a long trip.

Although the resort is busy during the summer with many planned functions, this weekend is ours to enjoy. Zustrich is an annual reunion for many familiar faces in a very informal setting and for first timers an opportunity to make new friendships. A few of our members are even accompanied by their wives who enjoy meeting the other philatelists! The resort grounds are wonderful for walking around during spring while the great tourist town of Jim Thorpe is just a few miles away and is a great place to see.

The Ukrainian Museum marks Ukraine’s independence anniversary with two exhibits

The Ukrainian Museum in New York City is marking two significant chapters in Ukraine’s modern history – 25 years since its declaration of independence in 1991 and the approaching centennial of the liberation struggle and short-lived independence in the early 20th century – with two parallel exhibitions.
