FACE BRICK AND CEMENT 520 BUCKHAM ST. FLINT Organized Jan. 31, 1917, with no elaborate program save its aim toward mutual helpfulness and the promotion of a broader community spirit, the Jewish Ladies' Aid Society has grown steadily in membership and standing until it stands today the second largest Jewish organization in Flint. The society is affiliated with the Na- tional Conference of Jewish Social Service and has done telling work not only for its own community but for outside worthy causes as well. During the work members of the Ladies' Aid turned out hundreds of garments for the Red Cross in the sewing rooms of the society. It con- tributed generously of its funds and its service to all war-relief agencies. Many boxes of clothing were collect- ed by its members and forwarded to the ravaged countries of Europe. The last shipment of clothing was sent to l'alestine. At the same time a gen- erous check was forwarded to the Palestine Relief Fund. Local causes are ever given the earnest co-operation of the organiza- tion which has just pledged $500 for the Community Center which it is hoped will soon take tangible form. Funds for the support of the many causes the society sponsors are raised by the assessment of membership dues and through the proceeds of dif- ferent social functions given during the season. The annual Purim Ball riven by the society, termed one of the biggest social functions of the year, is also a source of revenue, as are other smaller entertainments and socials. The following officers are at pres- ent at the head of the society: Mrs. S. Seitner, president; Mrs. H. Leff, vice-president; Mrs. Ben. Wiener, sec- retary; Mrs. Robt.
