The James Weldon Johnson Community Center looks to you for help in the work it is doing for the under-privileged children of East Harlem, in an effort to combat one of the most serious problems of our time - juvenile delinquency - in a district where racial conflicts are extremely intense. We think the work of Community Centers such as ours is one of the best safeguards of our American way of life, and knowing you share our feelings in this matter, we take the liberty of giving you some brief details on what we are doing, and what we hope to do in the future, with your cooperation.

Our Center conducts afternoon and evening programs for children and teen-agers in crafts, games, dances, clubs and group movements and provides - so far as our limited budget permits - summer camp vacations. Contacts with adults are maintained similarly through classes, and when necessary they are directed to case work, legal aid, housing, or other sources of assistance, as the particular situation may require.

Our annual budget is a modest one, but if we are to continue our work and the program outlined above, we must raise $51,500, of which $19,340 has been pledged by the Cooperating Agencies listed above, in the form of services, leaving $32,000 to be raised from contributors.

The amount to be collected from contributors gives us our quota for the year and we earnestly solicit your help and cooperation in our effort to foster good citizenship among these young people and prepare them for their future role in our increasingly complex society.

Please send your contribution to Edgar I. Levy, Treasurer, 505 Fifth Avenue, New York 17, N.Y., noting that your gift is tax deductible.

Yours very truly,
