6-B--Friday, October 15, 1971 WOMEN'S DIVISION BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mrs. William Avrunin Mrs. Morris Baker Mrs. Oscar U. Band Vice Presidents Mrs. N.

Deutsch Recording Secretory Mrs. Merle Harris Representatives to Federotion Board of Governors Mrs. Morris J. Brandwine Mrs. Joseph H. Jackier Mrs. Max Stollmon President The accomplishments of the Women's Division reflect the energy and perception of its members. The commitment of the Division is two-fold: to offer the women of the community a year-round educational program and to raise funds for the Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund. The educational program explains the work of Federation agencies and explores contemporary problems of Jewish life through forums and institutes. It seeks to in- volve as many Jewish women as possible in the work of the organized Jewish com- munity. "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Your Jewish Community—But Never Asked," was the intriguing theme of the two-day Fall Forum in September, 1971. The first session, "Exploration," took the participants on a conducted bus tour through the history and social agencies of the Detroit Jewish community from suburbs to inner city. The second meeting, "Discovery," presented a discussion of the Jewish community by some of those intimately involved with the problems in our metropl–an area and the services which are trying to solve them.

Weiner An in-depth view of local agencies and services was presented at the 1970 Leadership Seminar. Convening at diffrent agencies for six successive weeks last October and November, the women met with agency directors and toured the facilities. The Seminar is repeated annually for selected young women in the community. The ways in which women can skillfully deal with the problems of con- temporary society and effect change within the framework of volunteer services was explored at the 25th Annual Institute. Nearly 400 women attended the one-day session in December. New fund-aising techniques were developed by the Women's Division, more volunteers were involved than ever before, and the results were that Division's 1971 Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency broke its own previous impressive records by raising $1,350,000. Mrs. Alan Finer Robert M. Rubin "Under-thirty's" in our community who are conscious of Jewish prob- lems and needs and willing to commit themselves to dealing with solu- tions find in the Junior Division an expression of their concern. The Divi- sion introduces them to the programs of Federation and the services of its agencies. It serves as an important training ground for future com- munity leaders. The Division holds monthly open board meetings at which the prob- lems of the community are discussed with well-known public figures. Through these discussions the ideas and goals of the Division are deter- mined and shared with members of Federation, who give the division help and encouragement. The Junior Division sponsors and supports various community pro- grams. The most widely acclaimed project is the six-year old Summer Tutorial Program for Detroit children. With the help of volunteers among high school and college students and professional teachers, nearly 600 youngsters have had an opportunity to improve their reading skills and to enlarge their cultural horizons. The Jewish Division's efforts for the Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund are marked by continual increases both in dollars col- lected and numbers of pledges secured. This year more than $62,000 was collected by the Juniors, a 15O' increase over the previous year. Nearly 500 new pledges were secured, bringing the total number of young bene- factors up to 1,400.
