A Story of Alonah Chapter:
Front a Little Acorn to an Oak
By the Oak-Woodser
An indication of the growth
and strengthening of Jewish in-
stitutions in the suburban areas
is provided this week by Alon-
ah Chapter of Pioneer Women.
When the group holds its sec-
ond annual election of officers,
at 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, in the
home of Mrs. Irene Alpiner,
15120 Kenton, Oak Park, it will
mark a kind of milestone.
It was just a year ago that
the first election was held, and,
at the time, members of the
group had more than a little
fun in telling their friends,
"Join Alonah — where every
member is an officer."
Actually, it wasn't even a
question of holding one office.
Some women held two or
three jobs. But, because of
efforts by each of Alonah's
charter members, and spark-
ed by the leadership of presi-
dent Gloria Greenbert and
vice-president Estelle Selman,
the group has grown consid-
erably. -
Today, its enrollment of 33
paid-up members might still ap-
pear modest, yet, it is carrying
the full weight of its responsi-
bility within the framework of
the Detroit Council of Pioneer
Women.
For instance, much of the
work of the organization has to
do with aid to Israel. And at
Tuesday's program, besides the
election of a slate, there will be
an Israel Shower.
All who attend are being ask-
ed to bring, wrapped as a gift,
any article of clothing or linen.
These gifts will be sent directly
to Israel where they will be
distributed, where needed most,
by Moatzot Hapoalot, the Work-
ing Women's Council, or sister
organization of Pioneer Women
in the Jewish state.
Following the program, the
gals will get together for a so-
cial hour. Ladies interested in
attending may call Mrs. Alpin-

need of transportation should
call Mrs. Greenbert, LI. 3-4324,
This growth of one organiza-
tion — the Alonah Chapter —
is indicative of an overall trend
toward identification with Jew-
ish groups and projects
throughout the suburban area.
This fact was demonstrated
when another chapter of Pio-
neer Women was formed a few
weeks ago to meet as an after-
noon group. And also in the
formative stages is the Oak
Park Chapter of the Mizrachi
Women's Organization.
Together with a large and
most active Hadassah organiza-
tion, the suburban area is now
represented by all three shades
of Zionist ideology: Pioneer Wo-
men representing the Labor Zi-
onist approach; Mizrachi serv-
ing the religious Zionist ele-
ment; and Hadassah, which is
the General Zionist approach.
Suburban women also have
chapters of ORT — Organiza-
tion for Rehabilitation
through Training; a Jewish
National Fund chapter; a
Bnai Brith group; and Sister-
hoods from three synagogues.
