DECADES OF DEVOTED AND INSPIRED SERVICE WHERE NEEDS EXIST by EVALYN WOLFE Birthdays can mean a lot — to organizations as well as individ uals. To the members of the At lanta Section of the National Council of Jewish Women, the 65th birthday of their organiza tion this year was a momentous one, well worth celebrating. What was so special about Birthday 65? It marked the ful fillment of a dream. The Section purchased a home! “Council House,” explains Mrs. Jack Wallen, current president, “is a spacious, gracious old house. It is unpretentious yet charming. But in the eyes of most Council members it towers higher than a skyscraper and is more beautiful than a castle. Because it repre sents so many years of hoping and saving, it is truly a dream house for us.” Located at 793 Piedmont Ave., N.E., Council House provides members with meeting ropms for committees, an office for the president and a permanent home for two of Council’s most impor tant projects, Golden Age Club and Employment Referral Serv ice. Other projects, still in the planning stage, will use Council House as home base. Whereas buying a home was a giant step for Council, it was not the first in its long history. As oldtimers in the community will readily acknowledge, Coun cil’s career has been one of steady growth from its birth in 1895 right up to the present. Membership has grown from 85 to 850. Community activities have increased from two to a dozen and Council’s prominence as a social force within the city is undisputed. From the beginning Council has remained faithful to its origi nal purpose—to serve humanity The interesting pri vate residence on Piedmont Avenue, which Atlanta Sec tion members took over for Mi-de nominational Hold en Age Club acti vities and organiza tional headquart ers.
