ime, was the featured attraction
6 at the second annual donor lun-
Aeon at the Masonic Temple.
1 . The donor luncheon had become
the principal fund raising affair
and the proceeds were assigned
to support the Anti-Defamation
League.

On June 7, 1942, dynamic Lil-
dan Aaron was installed as pres-
ident. The annual installation cer-
emonies took place at a dinner
dance at the Bonny Brook Club,
and Miss Charlotte Gant, past
president of the auxiliary induct-
e d the officers. They were Mrs.
Samuel Aaron, president; Mrs.
Leonard Sims, Mrs. Gerald Gold-
berg and Miss Gladys Goldberger,
v ice presidents; Mrs. Nathan
Wolf, treasurer; Mrs. Seymour
Morton, Mrs. Julius Allen and
Miss Esther Silverstein, secreta-
ries; Mrs. Marvin Levy, guard-
ian; Mrs. Irwin Aran, guide;
Mrs. Melvin Goldberg, sentinel;
Mrs. Saul Rosenman, monitress,
and Mrs. Tom Mitteldorf, Mrs.
Charles Mandell, Mrs. H. Singer
and Mrs. Max Goldhoff, trustees.
At a luncheon meeting held in
Chicago, Pisgah Auxiliary pledged
one thousand dollars for the new
foundation at Ann Arbor. When
the third annual donor luncheon
rolled around, Dr. Abraham Sa-
char was the speaker.
The MenOrah, Pisgah Auxiliary
official publication, won national
recognition by taking first place
in the women's division of the
Bnai Brith bulletin contest. Mrs.
Tom Mitteldorf and her staff

Eighth President

were elated at winning a hand
somely engraved plaque corn
memorating their victory.
On January 24, 1943, Bnai
Brith inaugurated its now his-
toric drive to sell a million dol-
lars worth of war bonds. With
the money raised from this cam
paign, two submarine chasers
were bought. The event was hail
ed in high places, commendation
even coming in a speech from
the President of the United
Stat , is who cited the organization
for its patriotic endeavors. Need-
less to say, Pisgah women were
Very active every step of the
way.

assignments that were staggering
in their immensity — assignments
that Pisgah Women under the
directorship of Tilly Sims met
courageously, They were duties
that counted . . . that counted
in helping to alleviate the misery
and the poverty and the helpless-
ness of many of our fellow men
. . duties that would count in
helping to bring the day of vic-
torious peace nearer. And they
were duties that were met only
because Tilly, as president, had
th e indomitable will to stick to
what she undertook to do and
carry it through and because she
was able to instill that same
sticktoitiveness in her fellow
members.
The country's most prominent
speakers were brought to Pisgah
Women during this period. Men
like Bob Lurie, National Director
of Bnai Brith War Service, and
Max N. Kroloff, assistant director
of Bnai Brith Anti-Defamation,
League.
The Donor Luncheon held in
November was one of the larg-
est in Pisgah's history, and was
symbolic of the enthusiasm of its
members. It is little wonder that
the year saw the greatest mem-
bership drive. Besides all this,
Tilly was the recipient of the
District's award for membership
and conservation, and an award
for the Menorah. She is District
officer — sentinel and Hillel
chairman for Women's Grand
Lodge No. 6.

Mrs. Nathan Wolf (Rosalind to
most of us) served as president
during the year 1944-45, and
boasted an administration that was
packed full of activities, hard
work and accomplishments. She
was a continual inspiration to the
many women of Pisgah and spur-
red them on successfully to their
many and varied tasks.
One of the outstanding social
and fund raising affairs was the
donor luncheon held in Novem-
ber of that year at the Book

On February 22, Pisgah Auxil-
iary gave a musical comedy en-
titled "You Are Only Young
Twice" for the paid up members
of the auxiliary. The dramatic
side was in charge of Mrs. Irwin
Arar, while Mrs. Irving Buchal-
ter directed the musical arrange-
ment, and Mrs. Irving Blank was
in charge of the dance routines.
Oil April 12, Commander Pru-
dence Butterfield, well known
radd, entertainer, presented the
United States Navy Anchorettes
to. entertain members and their
frie
nds at an open meeting of
PlsgTh Auxiliary. The meeting
was held in Bnai Moshe Syna-
gogue and was a huge success.

Mrs. Leonard Sims (affection-
ately known as Tilly) was in-
st alkd in office during a mem-
orable and auspicious year — the
Year that marked one hundred
years of Bnai Brith service to
h
timanity. And in conjunction
with this significant time, Bnai
finth women accepted important

Cadillac Hotel, despite many ob-
stacles that were encountered.
Quick thinking and speedy action
saved the day when a very fine

and entertaining program was
substituted in lieu of the lun-
cheon which was to have been
served but which the labor strikes
at that time prevented. Irving
Davidson, noted Jewish humorist,
was the guest speaker at the oc-
casion.
Innumerable war service goals
were attained . . Red Cross
drives, the aid in equipping and
maintaining three lounge rooms
at the Percy Jones Hospital at
Battle Creek, packages to dis-
abled war veterans, and holiday
boxes to the men and women in
the armed forces.
To every cry for help, to each
beck and call, the women of Pis-
gah, under Rosalind's capable
leadership, responded fully and
eagerly.
Their participation in the burn-
ing of the mortgage at the Hillel
Foundation at Ann Arbor, and
the contribution of thirty vol-
umes of Jewish literature to the
same institution were all impor-
tant events of this regime.
Of paramount importance dur-
ing this period was the organiza-
tion of a Business and Profes-
sional group of Pisgah.
Besides having served as pres-
ident of Pisgah Women, Mrs,
Wolf held the post of treasurer
in the Michigan Bnai Brith Wo-
men's Council. She received the
District membership and conser-
vation award.

Mrs. Harry C. Singer (Helen),
hardly needs an introduction to
her many friends and co-workers.
Although her achievements as
head of the organization are yet
to be recorded, Helen has earned
the enviable reputation of loving
a job well done and doing it. She
is liked for her sincerity of pur-
