THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Bnai Brith Reports on Status WASHINGTON — The state of the order is good — but not good enough," President Jack Spitzer told the Bnai Brith Interna- tional Board of Governors meeting last month. Spitzer touched on a variety of topics, from a pro- posal to add to the respon- sibilities of the Bnai Brith Administrative Committee to a plan to acquire a string of low-power television sta- tions that may become available to nonprofit organizations. e said the outlook is rable for great growth aril development in Israel, that the total number of Bnai Brith members has de- clined about two percent since last year, that Bnai Brith has reduced its debt from $4 million in 1978 to $1.6 million as of Dec. 31, not including the mortgage on the headquarters build- ing. Because of the change in -fiscal years, which budgets a six-month period at a time of low in- come, the debt will rise again, probably to $3.4 million by June 30. He said that in the last four years, Bnai Brith Dr. William Haber of Ann Arbor, chairman of the Bnai Brith International Retirement Committee, is shown giving a report at the annual meeting in Wash- ington. Seated at left is Jack Spitzer, Bnai Brith Inter- national president. * * * Women's contribution to youth services has dropped from $869,000 to $347,000. Like their male colleagues, the women must increase both their membership and fund raising, Spitzer said. The board approved a budget of $12,217,239. This is a 9.8 percent increase over the $11,123,738 spent in 1981. The bulk of the money — $7,503,561 or 61 percent — has been allocated to youth services: The Bnai Brith Hillel Foundations, Bnai Brith Youth Organization and Career and Counseling Services. The remainder of the budget will be used to fund Bnai Brith commissions, councils, and committees; service and administrative departments; the World Center in Jerusalem and the International Council offices at the United Na- tions, Washington and elsewhere in the world. r Bnai Brith Activities r FRANCES SOLOVICH CHAPTER will have a paid-up membership dinner ,- 6:30 p.m. June 21 in the home of Sylvia Elkowitz, 1 18750 Whitby, Livonia.
