It was an especially proud moment, when Oseredok Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre made a formal presentation of its cheque in the amount of $20,000 to the Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Foundation. This amount raises the total assets of the Foundation to over ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

The Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Foundation serves as an endowment fund for the Centre, with the sole purpose of supporting Oseredok's operations in perpetuity. The larger the asset base, the greater the revenue that accrues to Oseredok from its investment.

NEW SUMMER THRILLER!

THE BOY FROM REACTOR 4
by Orest Stelmach

Nadia’s memories of her father are not happy ones. An angry, secretive man, he died when she was thirteen, leaving his past shrouded in mystery. When a stranger claims to have known her father during his early years in Eastern Europe, she agrees to meet—only to watch the man shot dead on a city sidewalk. With his last breath, he whispers a cryptic clue, one that will propel Nadia on a high-stakes treasure hunt from New York to her ancestral homeland of Ukraine. There she meets an unlikely ally: Adam, a teenage hockey prodigy who honed his skills on the abandoned cooling ponds of Chernobyl. Physically and emotionally scarred by radiation syndrome, Adam possesses a secret that could change the world—if she can keep him alive long enough to do it. A twisting tale of greed, secrets, and lies, The Boy from Reactor 4 will keep readers guessing until the final heart-stopping page.


FOR THE SPORTS ENTHUSIAST!



A GREAT DVD!

KLITSCHKO tells the captivating story of the boxing worlds most famous brothers: Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko. From the socialist drill of their childhood in the Ukraine, and their first successes as amateurs, to their move to Germany and subsequent rise as international stars on the verge of holding the championship titles of all five boxing federations (Wladimir secured this with his unanimous World Boxing Association win against David Haye on July 2nd, 2011). Along the way they experience defeats and setbacks, low points and triumphant comebacks as well as conflicts with each other. Exciting conversations with companions and opponents, including the very first with the Klitschkos parents, give insight into their personal lives, plus never-before-seen footage of the draining preparations for a fight, and the spectacular boxing matches. Director Sebastian Dehnhardt composes an intimate and fascinating portrait of two exceptional athletes who are, before all else, brothers.
