According to him, Ilya Sem\u02bcyanchuk turned to Mykhailo Baran and Stepan Kuropas with a request to help find a suitable plot of land. They knew the Chicago area well, since they owned their own farms. The search lasted about a month.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stepan Kuropas recalled:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe found a house for six thousand dollars, which was equipped for recreation \u2013 it had a pavilion and a kitchen with all the equipment, convenient access to the lake and a lawn planted with luxurious oaks. However, doubts arose at the meeting regarding the purchase: \u201cSix thousand is a large sum, where will we get it?\u201d, \u201cFour acres is not enough. Plast wants to go on trips, and the \u201cLions\u201d want to have more land\u201d. The chairman Ilya Sem\u02bcyanchuk also hesitated: \u201cIf it were in Tovmachi, I would not be afraid of the purchase and debt, but here it is different.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stepan Kuropas managed to convince the project participants. He contributed the first 300 dollars to the purchase fund and agreed with the seller to pay in installments: 3,000 dollars immediately and the rest in a year.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yaroslav Voynarovsky was instructed to collect another 3,000 dollars. Kuropas wrote about this:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYaroslav Voynarovsky brought me money, mostly in one-dollar bills, a little bit of $5 and $10.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhy didn\u2019t they exchange it for bigger ones?\u201d I asked.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere was no time!\u201d replied the enthusiast.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, the planned orphanage became a center in Round Lake, where athletes stay every Sunday and on holidays and where organizations have their festivals.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Samodopomoha society, the purchase of the orphanage in Round Lake and additional land with a total area of \u200b\u200bten acres cost $15,000.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As early as 1950, children began to be brought to the orphanage for recreation. During the first summer, about 70 children rested here. Later, Round Lake became a venue for concerts, festivals, and other public events.

Young members of the ODUM sang songs to the accompaniment of the guitar, and veterans of the division performed marching songs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Particular attention was paid to the nutrition of the vacationers. The work of the shelter was supervised by the then head of the \u201cSelf-Help\u201d society P. Vyginny, and later by Mr. Rakush. Up to two thousand guests and vacationers could stay on the territory of the shelter every week. Volunteers helped organize the work, and doctors from the Ukrainian community provided medical support.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The end of the camp shifts was accompanied by festive events. In June 1964, the 50th anniversary of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen was celebrated in Round Lake. Children sang \u201cOh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow\u201d, listened to a speech by the poet Roman Zavadovych about the Sich riflemen and their military path. Members of the SCH blew the trumpet in honor of the fallen riflemen, and Antin Artymovych thanked the participants of the event for honoring Ukrainian heroes. The celebration ended with a concert by the bonfire and the song \u201cThe Night is Coming\u2026\u201d.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The home welcomed not only children but also adults. For recreation, the \u201cKosiv\u201d house and a new house built in 1963 were offered. A kitchen was open for families with children.

Later, it was moved to a larger building at 2204\u20132206 W Chicago. Purchasing goods from this store allowed us to support the main sponsor of the summer camp and provide children with the opportunity to relax in nature. Scholarships were available for families who could not pay for their stay at the camp.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The store operated until the early 1990s, after which it was sold to private ownership.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 1950s and 1960s, Round Lake became one of the most popular vacation spots for Chicago\u2019s Ukrainian community. This was facilitated by both its convenient location \u2014 45 miles from the city \u2014 and its vibrant social life. On weekends, two to three thousand people would gather here, and the number of cars could reach five hundred.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, Ukrainian organizations began to create their own camping sites. Currently, Plast holds its events in Round Lake.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the late 1950s, four young emigrants started a hotel business in Wisconsin Dells, about two hundred miles from Chicago.
