Hadassah’s Regional president, Mrs. Albert Galston, and a National Vice-President, Mrs. Irwin Reiss, will be on hand to lead the Institute which will “work out” problems within the organization.  It is hoped that members will turn out “en masse” to greet these visitors.  Reservations may be made with Mrs. Al Slayen, H-6-5090.

This meeting of Aug. 22 will be held in the main synagogue of Tifereth Israel and the community is urged to support it by a capacity attendance.  Admission is free, with no solicitation of funds.  A reception in honor of Dr. Heller will follow the meeting.

Southwestern Jewish Press August 7, 1953 Page 6

The San Diego Chapter of Hadassah cordially invites all non-members to an “Aqua Fashion Fantasy” Membership Tea on Wednesday, August 19 at 2:00 p.m.  The lovely swimming pool at the Edward Kitaen home, 9000 El Cajon Blvd., will furnish a natural setting for the fashion commentary of Mrs. Lewis Kipperman.

Hadassah members are invited to attend also, by their president, Mrs. Robert Strauss, but admittance depends upon each member bringing a prospect for membership in the organization.

Mrs. Abe Smith is general chairman and Mrs. Lou Feller and Mrs. Sam Lenett are assisting as co-chairmen.  Active on the planning committee are Mmes. Geo. Wixen, Leonard Zlotoff, Stanley Strimling, and Edward Kitaen.

Mrs. Sophie Pinter and Mrs. Goldie Kitaen will pour at the Samovar.

Mrs. Albert Krasnow, parliamentarian, will point out the many advantages offered the Hadassah woman and she will review the great strides taken by the local chapter.

Models will include daughters of members and fashions will center on “fun in the sun.”


Cottage of Israel

Southwestern Jewish Press August 7, 1953 Page 6

The House of Pacific Relations will hold its annual Moonlight Fiesta on the lawns of the Cottages in Balboa Park on Sunday August 23rd at 5:30 p.m.  Tables will be set up in front of the Cottages and while supper is being served, continuous entertainment will be provided by the various Cottage groups.

While a pot-luck supper is being arranged by board members among themselves, other members of our Cottage are welcome to attend this Fiesta but must of course provide their own lunch.  Coffee will be served through the courtesy of the Cottage of Israel.  Since seating space is limited, those coming first will have first choice.

The third annual meeting of the Cottage of Israel will be held on August 30, at Beth Jacob Auditorium.  An excellent program is being planned for this occasion by Miss Esther Weitzman and new officers for 1953-54 will be officially introduced at this meeting.

Yo-Ma-Co Club Plans
Yom Kippur Dance

Southwestern Jewish Press August 7, 1953 Page 6

The sixth annual Yom Kippur Dance, sponsored by the YoMa-Co club, will be held Saturday night, September 19, at El Morocco Club.  This will be the usual high-geared affair, with a top notch dance band and planned entertainment.

The music of Mike Aliso’s orchestra, exciting dance contests, and lovely prizes, will start the New Year joyously.

As is the custom most of the proceeds of the dance will be allocated to the several charities to which the Yo-Ma-Co Club contributes.  Keep this date open—Saturday night, Sept. 19th.  It will be great fun!
