NEW YORK – The Ukrainian Museum’s benefit event “Fall for Art: Soirée & Art Auction” on September 30 was a resounding success, as more than 150 friends and supporters of the museum attended the event and many of the guests participated in the lively auction of fine artwork.
Board member Alla Leshko worked tirelessly on organizing this special event with the invaluable support of her husband, Prof. Jaroslaw Leshko, former president of the board of trustees, and Daria Merhle. In addition to obtaining donations of artwork for the auction, they handled many of the complex details involved in organizing such an elegant affair. Ms. Leshko made it clear, however, that “it couldn’t have been done without the steadfast assistance of other board members and museum staff, and the numerous volunteers who contributed in so many ways.”
