The UNA-USA convention, held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan from March 1 - 4, was a great success. Hundreds attended -- and close to 1,000 members joined in Members Day at the UN on the afternoon of the 3rd.
In addition to many Westchester board and chapter members, Westchester groups represented included 24 members from Kendal-on-Hudson, in Tarrytown. Peter Davies's organizational skills brought this group together. Many Kendal residents are long-time supporters of the United Nations, but many have just joined UNA since our chapter offered a trip to Hyde Park to hear Gillian Sorensen, Steven Schlesinger and others for UN Day in 2005.
Sleepy Hollow High School in Tarrytown registered eleven students for Members Day -- another great group.
On behalf of the chapter I presented information about our Going Global with the UN series, and about the Peace Makes the World a Better Place supplement published by The Journal News. That's now online, and you can view it at:
