Dear Friends of Ukraine:

You are respectfully invited to attend a special upcoming conference, entitled, “The Story of the Heavenly Hundred”, marking the fifth anniversary of the culmination of the dramatic civil developments in Ukraine during the Revolution of Dignity.

To commemorate this historic anniversary, on February 8, from 11:00am-2:30pm, the Ukrainian American community, under the auspices of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), will host a half-day conference in Washington, D.C., to honor the Heavenly Hundred - Небесна Сотня – the brave heroes who gave their lives in defense of Ukraine.

Held in room 121 of the Cannon House Office Building of the United States Congress, the forum will be an opportunity to remember the tragic sacrifice of the Heavenly Hundred, the contribution they made for a freer Ukraine, and discuss the legacy of the Euromaidan activists and the Revolution of Dignity, as a whole.

 

The Story of the Heavenly Hundred will feature keynote speakers and two panel discussions:  “Witnesses to History” and “Aftermath to Sacrifice”, which will discuss the historical significance of those fateful days in February, five years ago, and the integral role the organized U.S. Ukrainian hromada/community has played to assist their homeland since 2014.
 

The complete program with a list of invited speakers is attached for your review.  Please note that seating is limited, therefore we encourage you to RSVP at your earliest convenience to assure participation. 
 

For further information, or to RSVP, kindly contact Michael Sawkiw, Jr, Director of the Ukrainian National Information Service (UNIS) either by phone at (202)547-0018 or by email at: unis.sawkiw@gmail.com.
