1 Any views or opinions presented in this newsletter do not necessarily represent those of the Stook Stook editor or Hromada committee members. Autumn 2010, Issue 1 Welcome! This new on‐line publication will be of interest to anyone who’s Ukrainian or is married to a Ukrainian; or is simply interested in Ukrainian matters, and who in some shape, manner or form is linked to the Ukrainian diaspora based in Adelaide, South Australia. You may be a migrant, or a baby boomer, an X or Y gen. You may have once played soccer or volleyball for USC Lion or you may have been an active member of CYM or Plast in their hey day. You may have enjoyed a moving Ukrainian midnight mass in recent years, or you may have been at every Malanka since year dot. You may be calling your grandmother “Baba” and your dog “Brovko” but that’s about the extent of your bilingual skills. No matter what your connection is we hope to help you stay in touch through this quarterly newsletter. Despite our differences in our political and religious views; our approach to aged care or childcare; or on our views regarding Barrack Obama or on how to save the river Murray, we have in common our wonderful Ukrainian heritage; our beautiful culture and our passion and zest for family, friends and enjoying what life has to offer. We look forward to bringing you “Stook Stook”. The Editorial Team A short note from the President, Association of Ukrainians SA (Hromada), Ivan Dnistriansky “It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Stook Stook – it’s been a long time coming and has taken many months of planning and preparation by the Editorial Team – Lidia Lipkiewicz, Chris Fedyk, Slavko Kowalczuk and Mel Merlino (nee Wasyluk). The Executive Committee is very excited about this great initiative and we invite you to make this newsletter yours. Email us your thoughts; pass on those snippets worth sharing; use the ‘contacts page’ to get in touch and above all, stay connected.” Stook Stook English trans: Knock Knock
