For detail* not covered call: TR. 5-7881 Open Mouse at Camp Barney Medintz-June 12 The Group The Group Open for Formal Membership Those fortunate ones of you who were among the celebrants at the Tiki, know how great it was. It is a source of great sat isfaction how well The Group has caught on. People who have lived in Atlanta for many years are quick to observe that never has such a fine cross-section of young Jewish adults been brought to gether under such delightful con ditions. But it’s not all peaches and cream. Someone has to plan these get-togethers, mailing lists must be compiled and kept cur rent, and countless other arrange ments have to be co-ordinated. The AJCC has endorsed The Group, provided its facilities, sec retarial and mailing services and staff advisory services to The Group. Without the AJCC’s sup port, there could be no Group, as none of us has either the time, facilities or resources to take on such a monumental project. Of necessity, Group member ship will be a requisite to all fu ture events. The tab is $7.50 for six months, $5.00 of which goes to the AJCC, and $2.50 remains with the Group. (Those of you who are already AJCC members, pay only $2.50). For Group mem bers joining the AJCC later, $5.00 will be credited toward your AJCC membership fee. To stay on our mailing list and be able to participate in get-to gethers which have been long- needed in Atlanta, join the Group now. A special informal social with music (a la juke box) and light refreshments to follow a very brief meeting to elect officers, will take place Thursday evening at 8:00 p. m. June 16, 1966 at the AJCC.
