From 2010–2012, I served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in a small Ukrainian town. In 2017, my wife (who also served in Ukraine) and I returned for a visit. We met with Natalia, a dear friend, and former colleague, at the school where I once worked. Together, we walked the old paths connecting nearby villages through the surrounding forest. It was a crisp, September day.
Everyone and anyone is invited to the Annual Boston Ukrainian Independence Day Picnic at the grounds of the Christ the King Ukrainian Catholic Church in Jamaica Plain on August 28. There will be delicious Ukrainian food, music, activities, and more. People are encouraged to wear vyshyvanka and other Ukrainian clothing attributes. The picnic is being organized by the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, Boston Branch which will join people all across the country to celebrate Ukraine’s 31st anniversary of independence. The picnic starts at noon.
