February 10, 1950—"Pioneer Women (Negba) Club," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 6: We would like to thank our Haveros and friends who made our Arbor Day Festival a marked success. It was a most enjoyable evening, highlighted by songs in English, Yiddish and Hebrew appropriate to the occasion by Sonia Weitzman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Weitzman. Other songs were by Norman Schaeffer and Rose Abrams.  Readings in Yiddish and English by Florence Barrack, Eleanore Gordon and Anna Shelley were also well received.  Currently we are now in the throes of planning for our Purim Festival to be held on March 19th at the Temple Center, 7:30 p.m.  Watch for this affair and come join us!
