A ten-dollar founders’ dinner will be the opening event May 7 of the Y.M.-Y.W.H.A. “Celebration-Week” to mark fifty years of the center movement here, as well as ten years of the opening of the present building at High and Kinney streets.

Stavitsky, general chairman of the anniversary committee has announced that the founders who will be guests of honor include County Freeholder Philip Lindeman, first president of the “Y” a half century ago; A. J. Dimond, president when the present building was erected and opened; his successor, Isaac Lowenstein; and Mrs. Felix Fuld, honorary chairman of the Women’s Division, who like her late husband, has been a leading patron of the Jewish center movement.
