HISTORY OF THE FRESH AIR SOCIETY
1925: BRIGHTON Is PURCHASED!!!
In 1925 Mr. and Mrs. Edwin M. Rosenthal donated 80 acres of
land near Brighton, that was to become the nucleus of the new
campsite. Further purchases brought the camp up to 200 acres
that consisted of the familiar dormitory buildings, recreation
hall, and dining hall.
/---
In 1927, the year that Fresh Air Camp at Brighton opened, the
Fresh Air Society became one of the incorporating member
agencies of the Jewish Welfare Federation.
In 1929, the F.A.S. decided that "gentlemen should be included
on the board in addition to the ladies." The first male member
of the board was Samuel Gilbert.
To Be Continued... The War Years!!!
