Dear Fellow Members of the Ukrainian Community and Friends of Bobriwka. This is an opportunity for you to become a part in the next chapter of The Rebirth of Bobriwka! Our forefathers had the vision and the courage to purchase Bobriwka in the early 1950s, so that our Fellow Ukrainians would have a place to recreate and enjoy the unspoiled wilderness that many said reminded them of the sprawling forests of the Karpaty.

In the last 15 years Bobriwka has turned a major corner. Many of its members have donated countless hours of hard labor and/or spent thousands of dollars to get us to the point where our upgraded facility is now attracting weekend-long weddings! Recent renovations include:

 

 The current Bobriwka Board of Directors is excited to continue this legacy as we announce plans to expand and update Bobriwka’s current main campus. The master plan includes:

These upgrades are necessary to facilitate the growing needs of our supportive Ukrainian organizations as well as to further accommodate our rental base: 

Bobriwka’s goal is to accommodate all of our Ukrainian community, and more! In addition to embellishing potential for: CYM, PLAST, XMELI, Choir Lanka Halychanka, SICH, Chornomortsi, Krayanny and Ukrainian Schools, these upgrades will further appeal to our ever increasing rental base. It is these rentals that pay our taxes, insurance and utilities as well as continued maintenance of the facility we provide. The proposed improvements will also make us competitive with local outdoor venues for family events and weddings. 

Please recognize this opportunity and consider donating to this worthwhile undertaking. Plans are to start construction in Spring of 2019 (or sooner if funds become available!!). We are seeking a total of $120,000 for a project of this scale. Individual donations will have an opportunity to memorialize their contribution on a prominent benefactor display. 

Our commitment to continuing Bobriwka’s evolution is an extension of our forefathers’ dreams for Bobriwka to provide our Ukrainian Community a place to recreate in an unspoiled wilderness. 

We are very grateful for your consideration and generous support. 

Thank you, 

-Bobriwka Board of Directors
