MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN OPENS MONDAY
Greetings From The President
Once again we stand on
the threshold of a new ac¬
tive season and a new mem¬
bership campaign when Sa¬
vannah Jewry renews its
faith in the Alliance and its
program and that which it
represents.
This year there is, indeed,
a different picture than we
have had in the past five
years. We are adequately
staffed with fine personnel
and activities are already in
full swing—activities for all
— adults and youth — men
and women, covering a wid
er scope than ever before
and taxing the full capacity
of our building. We are
much nearer our goal of mak¬
the Alliance a real center.for the entire Jewish Com¬
munity.
But all this takes money. In order to meet the higher
cost of maintenance and operation it was necessary to
increase our budget from $20,000.00 last year to $24,000.00
for this one. This was not done capriciously or hastily but
after careful deliberation first by your Finance Commit¬
tee and then by the entire Board of Directors. This was
made necessary by our expanded (and still expanding)
program of activities. We are particularly happy for the
large number of our returned veterans who have become
integrated into the normal life of our community and of
our institution and who have resumed their activities with
us. A large part of our expanded program is intended for
these young men in whose hearts the mere mention of the
Alliance stirs a responsive chord. We have more than justi¬
fied our existence as a community asset. Many of these

With the Jewish Holiday cycle
completed, activities in the Physi¬
cal Education Department of the

tic circles. He figured as an

o’clock. The program for the din¬
ner will be streamlined without
sacrificing the objectives of the
get-together—to provide inspira¬
tion to the workers to achieve
their goal; to interpret the finan¬
cial needs of the Alliance; to pro¬
vide th|| workers with campaign
techniques and instructions on how
to sell membership in the Alli¬
ance.
The personnel of the campaign
is headed by Herbert Buchsbaum,
general chairman, who is serving
in that capacity for the second
consecutive year and who is
known for the outstanding per
sonal example of member-getting
which he sets for all his co-work¬
ers. As his top associates, Mr.
Buchsbaum has the services of
Dr. William A. Wexler, chaiiurnan
of the men’s division, and Mrs.
Isaac Meddin, chairman of the
women’s division. Mrs. Meddin
served in a similar capacity last
vear. The membership commit¬
tee of the Alliance is serving as
a steering committee, to make
decisions on the policy for the
drive. Mrs. Henry Karsman is
in charge of arrangements for
the dinner and report luncheon.
Every effort has been made to
provide the workers with a maxi¬
mum amount of information con¬
cerning the prospects whom they
will approach for membership.
The prospect cards include data
about the participation of the
children of prospects in the ac¬
tivities of the Alliance, as well
as data about the prospects* mem¬
bership in the Alliance.
