New Trident-Visnyk Editor

After 17 years as the name behind the UPNS newsletter Trident-Visnyk, our esteemed editor Lubomyr Onyshkevych has decided to hang up his pen. Editing and assembling 10 issues a year is not an easy job and we thank Lubomyr for his dedication in making the TV a successful publication. We will fondly remember him offering up his colorful editorials, latest philatelic news from Ukraine, new stamp issues, cancels, postcards, coins and other interesting Ukrainian collectibles. And so the reins have now passed on to our new newbie editor Stepan Moskal who will need much support and encouragement from all of us. Stepan, an avid collector of modern Ukraine, is not new to the challenges of publishing having produced a Ukraine stamp album a few years back. We look forward to his first issue of the Trident-Visnyk as he gives the newsletter a much needed facelift.

Going to Zustrich 2012 May 5

Mark your calendars! "ZUSTRICH 2012" is being held on Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th of May at the Ukrainian Homestead just outside Lehighton, PA. A few members arrive Friday after 6pm to catch up with friends and rest after a long trip.
Although the resort is busy during the summer with many planned functions, this weekend is ours to enjoy. Zustrich is an annual reunion for many familiar faces in a very informal setting and for first timers an opportunity to make new friendships. A few of our members are even accompanied by their wives who enjoy meeting the other philatelists! The resort grounds are wonderful for walking around during spring while the great tourist town of Jim Thorpe is just a few miles away and is a great place to see.

Dear Friends,
The 116th Zabijaka Auction closes Sunday, January 15, at 12 noon
Welcome to the 116th auction. My life, after the move is slowly returning to normal. This auction is bigger than some in the past and contains much interesting material. The local issues are well represented with an extensive offering of Chernihiv. Regular tridents follow with some nice high values and scarcities. The other category shows some good revenue items, not to be missed. A fascinating selection of picture postcards follows with colorful views of Lviv. Postal history has some very nice items, including a philatelic cover addressed to a German philatelist Euler with many UNLISTED (in Bulat catalog) stamps. The auction concludes with a nice selection of Western Ukraine and a fascinating curiosa for you to view and enjoy.
The mailing concludes with a large selection of Direct Sale items available without waiting and bidding. All of you should find something to fit in your collection. My very best wishes to all for a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! .

Short video of the Sorochynskyi Yarmarok (Ukrainian Fair) held in Adelaide, Australia on Sunday, December 11, at the Ukrainian Hall. Look for George Fedyk from the Ukrainian Collectibles Society on stage (good looking guy in the white shirt) together with UCS president Frank Fursenko (dude with the mike) presenting Ulyana Grechaniuk (girl with the red hair) some UCS gifts for the wonder job she did in designing the 20th Anniversary of Ukraine's independence stamp released earlier this year in Syndey at UCSPEX-11. Adelaide's Ukrainian community applauds their young designer. Also watch for the wonderful philatelic display!
