wonderful response and inspiring support.
AND NOW TO THE FRUITS of our efforts—
Urgently needed funds have been secured to further

House in Tel Aviv, and the Public Relations and
Educational efforts of ZOA in America and in Israel.
The launching of a series of programs of significant
cultural and artistic value.
Quite a number of new members have been
enrolled. More good workers have been enlisted in
Israel's cause.
Many, many more members are needed to
build the Organization to its utmost strength, and
more workers made available.
All thinking and informed Jews know of the
important role played by the Zionist Organization
in the establishment of Israel and the urgent need
to continue to grow in numbers and influence to
assure Israel's future.
