We’re On Our Way With the entire personnel of the campaign displaying a rare enthusi¬ asm and optimism concerning the suc cess of the task before them—that of raising the largest budget in the his¬ tory of the Alliance to carry out the largest program in the history of the Alliance—prospects are bright for the attainment of our goal. All of the workers will be giving of their time and energy in behalf of the cause which is so close to their hearts —the Alliance. To them, we are grate > ful for the altruism and unselfishness which prompts them to take time out from their daily tasks to help the Al¬ liance. Their willingness to work is an inspiration to all of us. From the Jewish people of our com¬ munity who will be approached for membership in the Alliance we ask an attitude of cooperation and understand¬ ing in receiving our workers. In the pages of this paper we have made an effort to interpret the reasons why membership in the Alliance is an obli¬ gation on all Jews who are interested in maintaining and intensifying the high level of Jewish living and culture which is ours in Savannah. No Jew proud of his hertiage can resist this appeal. Being the only community-wide in¬ stitution dedicated to the enrichment of the social, physical, cultural, and Jewish lives of Savannah Jewry, the Alliance has a right to expect the uni¬ fied support of the entire Jewish com¬ munity. Our great need is for members—both because revenue from membership dues is practically the only source of sup¬ port to carry on the multitude of pro¬ grams and services rendered by the Alliance and because a large member¬ ship represents an expression of con¬ fidence by Savannah Jewry in the im¬ portant and indispensable work which the Alliance is now doing and has been doing for the past thirty years. The potentialities for ever-increasing service are on the horizon; the partici¬ pants in our programs are awaiting the signal for activities to start; the professional staff is eager to make available its “know-how.” The only in¬ gredient needed is the material where¬ withal—namely, funds. You can provide that indispensable ingredient by JOINING THE ALLI¬ ANCE NOW! THE JEWISH ALLIANCE BUILDING FOR CREATIVE LIVING jj I'm W hnv f < r J L, r i : IP fi. I* .’ V ’ Above are shown a group of children busily engaged in their favorite activity of Arts and Crafts during the Camp Alliance program sponsored by the Alliance last sum mer. Opportunities for similar interesting activities will be offered by the Alliance dur¬ ing the fall and winter season through its Winter Day Camp, one of the many programs for children to be sponsored by the Alliance. Winter Day Camp On Sunday Afternoon To Offer Varied Activity For Children Clubs, hobby groups, and entertainments comprise the wide variety of activities which will be sponsored by the Alliance this season for children from 5 to 13 years of age. These activities will be offered on Sunday after¬ noons, from 4 to 5 p.m., under the title of the Winter Day Camp. So successful and appealing was the Summer Day Camp, in¬ augurated'by the Alliance this past summer as Camp Alliance, that the pattern of that project will be followed in the fall and winter program for youngsters. The children participating in the program will be organized by age groups into c^Jnns, to be known as clubs, each with a mature, trained adult leader in charge. There will be five age groups—(1) boys and girls 5 and 6 years old; (2) boys, 7 to 10; (3) girls, 7 to 10; (4) boys, 10 to 13; and (5) girls, 10 to 13. Each club will elect its officers and conduct its own affairs, under the guid¬ ance of its leader, with music, games, story¬ telling, etc. during the club period. Following the club period, the children will participate in the activity of their choice, choosing from among arts and crafts, danc¬ ing, music, dramatics, etc. As the concluding activity of the day, there will be an assembly program, including such Four Questions and Answers For The Jewish People of Savannah 1. WHAT IS THE JEWISH EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE? It is an organized and supervised meeting place for the child, the youth and the adult of both sexes. It is a gathering place for the whole community. It fosters loyalty to Judaism and cultivates character, personality and citizenship. It strives towards the all around development of manhood and womanhood—mentally, culturally, physically and communally. It is the unifying force in the community. 2. WHY SHOULD EVERY JEW JOIN THE ALLIANCE? For the reasons stated above and for the further reason that a large membership will make the organization a Center in the full sense of the word. It will be able to provide a program on a much larger scale. Never was there a greater need for a strong organization to foster wholesome activities for young and old. 3. WHAT IS THE PROGRAM OF THE JEWISH ALLIANCE? A partial list of the activities conducted by the Center includes lectures, forums, concerts, entertainments, dramatic performances, supervised dancing, literary clubs and classes, social groups, scout work, gymnasium classes, sport and athletic tourna¬ ment. 4. WHY SHOULD EVERYONE SUPPORT THE ALLIANCE, EVEN THOSE WHO CANNOT THEMSELVES PARTICIPATE FULLY IN ITS ACTIVITIES? Because the Jewish Alliance stands for betterment of Jewish youth and gives the best expression to all Jewish activities in the community. Everybody’s support is justified to help maintain these high standards. Men of large vision realize that character, good association and encouragement of ambition are qualities that bene¬ fit not only the young people themselves, but those with whom they work, their families and the community generally. They contribute to the good name of the Jewish Community. events as stunts, dramatic programs, quiz shows, community singing, and the observ¬ ance of holiday festivals. Once a month, a special entertainment will take place. These programs will include such events as movies, puppet shows, magicians, etc. The Alliance is fortunate in having se¬ cured the services of many of the counsellors from the Camp Alliance staff, who were noted for the splendid leadership they pro¬ vided. The Day Camp staff, under the per sonel supervision of Jack Chilnick, Director of Activities of the Alliance, includes the following: Mrs. Jack Chilnick, Helen Pader ewsky, and Jack Berliner — from the Camp Alliance staff; and Dena Cohen, Harriet Levine, Bemie Kramer, Irving G. Osterweil, and J. D. Rountree. Because of the limitations of space at the Alliance, the activities will take place at the Savannah Hebrew School building, which has splendid indoor and outdoor facilities. A rally of all children interested in enroll¬ ing in the Day Camp took place at the Alli¬ ance on Sunday, October 27. All parents interested in having their children take part in the program of the Day Camp are asked to contact Mr. Chilnick at the Alliance for further details. OCTOBER 25. 1946 | Who is the Loser? | Who is the loser when YOU fail to support the Alliance with your membership dues? Answer 1. The ALLIANCE, because it does not get your financial sup¬ port which it needs to exist and function. 2. The COMMUNITY, because the Alliance is the Jewish Com¬ munity Center of Savannah and by its success or failure our en¬ tire Jewish community may be judged. 3. The CHILDREN, yours and other peoples—because without your support we cannot give them the activities they need 1 and seek. 4. And YOU are the loser your¬ self, because you do not get the direct benefits of being a mem¬ ber of the Alliance and the even greater satisfaction of knowing that your dues help make the Al¬ liance program possible. You, your Jewish Center, your Community, the children—all lose when you fail to be a member. At the minimum of $20 per year for an adult man — less than 40 cents a week—the cost is less than six cents a day. Six cents a day is what you gain by with¬ holding your support. IS IT WORTH IT? HELP ANSWER THIS SOS The Savannah Jewry will have its opportunity to share materially with their brothers and sisters in Europe, when the local copimittee of the S. O. S. (Supplies for Overseas Survi¬ vors) conducts an intensive eight-day drive for collect can¬ ned goods and good used cloth¬ ing to be sent to the Jewish people in Europe. The local drive is part of a nation-wide campaign, sponsored by the Joint Distribution Committee, to secure twenty million pounds of goods to be shipped over¬ seas. Savannah has been divided into districts for an intensive coverage of all Jewish homes '5 by committees representing all of the Jewish women’s organi¬ zations in the city, who are represented on the local S.O.S. Committee. Mrs. S. D. Hirsch is chairman of the local com¬ mittee. Although the emphasis in this .. drive will be centered on the collection of canned goods and . clothing, for which there is the most pressing need, the * committee will accept supplies, baby goods, and personal items such as combs, razon blades, etc. The cooperation of the en¬ tire community is solicited for this drive. A UNIFYING AGENCY The Alliance is a unifying, de< mocratic agency. It does not re¬ cognize differences of caste, creeds or station. It offers its services and facilities to all on an equal basis without favoritism or partiality.
