Detroit Allied Jewish Campaigners Commence Report Meetings; Honor Women Today Report meetings to check on the continuing progress of the 1966 Allied Jewish Campaign will begin with a luncheon at campaign head- quarters, 163 Madison, honoring the women's division. The campaign, which was offi- cially launched a week ago Wednesday, is now in full swing in the drive to achieve more than $5,600,000 in pledges—a total that would make 1966 one of the big- est years in campaign history. cording to General Chairmen ‘,01 Eisenberg and Irwin Green, - Such a total is well within the reach of hard working campaign- ers if they continue the pace ini- tiated in the pre-campaign period. To be honored today on behalf of the women's division will be the campaign chairman, Mrs. Ar- thur H. Rice, who has led her divi- sion to a pre-opening achievement figure of $641,449, encompassing 5,806 pledges. This represents 97 per cent of the 1965 women's divi- sion achievement.
