Bnai Drills on Way to Goal
of $250,000: to Aid Youth
With over $21,000 received from
the efforts of a special gifts com-
mittee, the leadership of the 1968-
69 Bnai Brith Services Appeal
Campaign is encouraging each
Bnai Brith lodge and chapter to
help realize the $250,000 goal.
Herman Kasoff and Mrs. Irving
Isaacs, council chairmen of the
campaign, said more than 800 men
and women have responded to the
call for campaign workers and are
covering the solicitation cards as-
signed to them.
More than 75 cents of each dollar
raised goes to Bnai Brith Youth
Services.
Dr. William A. Wexler, interna-
tional president of Bnai Brith, who
addressed the workers and cam-
paign leadership at the kickoff
Nov. 7, emphasized the commit-
ment that Bnai Brith has toward
Jewish youth.
Although each facet of Bnai
Brith meets a need in the com-
munity, never has the need been
greater in our society than it is
today in relationship to our youth
