BIG GIFTS DIVISION LAUNCHES
U.J.WF. DRIVE With RECORD sum
Kickoff
Raises


A kickoff event in the
1859 United Jewish Welfare
Fund campaign at the Ari-
zona Biltmore Hotel result
ed in a record $4,000 con-
tribution by more than so
Phoenicians.
The unprecedented effort
was launched by Big Gifts
Division Chairman Harry
Rosenzweig, with the aid of
the drives general chairman, Phil
Taxman, and Harold Apert.
THE SUM represented an in
crease of about IA per cent over
last years contributions from the
same givers. It included a SIS, 900
gift from Sam Hoffman, an all
time record for an individual in the
drives local history.
The larger givers heard a report
from Rabbi Albert Plotkin on needs
for 1859. Target of the local CAM
paign is 1920, 200, including $105, 900
for the regular fund and $125, 200
for the United Jewish Appeal
Special Fund.
THE LATTER will go for rescue
operations among Jewish immi-
grants from Iron Curtain nations
to Israel. With newly relaxed immi-
grafton regulations in Russia and
her satellites, exodus of Jews from
these countries to Israel is expect
ed to reach 100, 900 in 1859.
The assembly at the Arizona
Biltmore met Taxman's report of
the contribution total with jubil-
ance. UJWF leaders feel that an
all-time record response from the
Phoenix community will be inspir-
ed by the example.
The total for all reported gifts
as listed in the Roll of Honor in this
issue of the Phoenix Jewish News
is $1O7, 900, putting the drive past
the one-third point already.
'T FELT THAT it was about time
our community woke up and faced
the needs" said Taxman. I'm the
Big Gifts Division it was getting
more and more difficult to get the
givers to come to our campaign
meetings. 1t made it impossible to
tell them about the needs if they
weren't present.
IT decided to see all of them per-
sonally, and that's just what we
did. The results speak for them
selves. Last year at the kickoff we
had about half or less of the
amount we now have registered.
We still have a long way to go, but
we have a good start and should
go places this year."
