The Jewish Alliance (PuMUikecJ by TTxe JEWISH EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE OF SAVANNAH, GA. VOL. 2, No. 1 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 (Continued on Page 4) Clubs, Hobby Groups, Socials, Scouting, Rich Youth Practically every leisure-time in¬ terest of young people will be served by the Alliance during the coming season, according to plans worked out by the Youth Activi¬ ties Committee.

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.
