Dear Friends of TWG,

Thank you for your support of The Washington Group! This support is crucial to our efforts in promoting Ukrainian political, cultural, and social issues in the Washington, DC area, as well as throughout the United States.

We are pleased to announce the publication of the 2006-2007 TWG Membership Directory. The Membership Directory, a benefit to TWG members only, provides the names, contact data, and professional information of our members to facilitate networking and mutual support. It also provides additional information on Ukraine-related resources.

We are very grateful for all of our corporate sponsors and advertisers, which include Charchalis and Company, Continental Mortgage and Investment Company, Maryland Heart, Inia Yevich Tunstall, Enterprise Sciences, Meest Media Corporation, Yaromyr Oryshkevych, Carteret Mortgage, and the Ukrainian Institute of America. Please note their services and information in the advertisements and consider giving them your patronage.

If you have not received your Membership Directory yet, your membership has expired or you have never been a member. Please join us or renew with a check for $50 for full membership, $35 for associate, or $5 for students made out to "The Washington Group" and sent to PO Box 11248, Washington, DC 20008 or contact me with a credit card number. You may also consider our Corporate Membership at www.thewashingtongroup.org/corporate.

TWG continues to strive to provide members with news on our activities through our website at www.TheWashingtonGroup.org. You may also find information there about TWG’s Cultural Fund and Fellowship Fund, which rely on your contributions.

This fall we are organizing talks on energy policy in Ukraine, business in Ukraine, and cultural events featuring soprano Oksana Krovytska and pianist Jim Allison, in addition to our regular networking functions.

If you have any questions about TWG, or would like to share any ideas with us, please do not hesitate to contact me. Also, as your member information changes, please notify our Membership Director Marta Matselioukh at martam@usukraine.org so that we may keep you apprised of upcoming events.

We hope that you will find the new 2006-2007 TWG Membership Directory to be an informative and user-friendly reference.

Sincerely,

Adrian Pidlusky

President
