Hadassah women in Boston not only cooked but served luncheon to 2,000 women in the Hotel Statler Ballroom. Everything was contributed; the use of the Statler kitchen and the food. The women who waited on the tables wore the Hadassah nurse costume.
Proceeds from the luncheon, for which each woman was charged ninety-nine cents, will go toward providing lunches for school children in Palestine, one of Hadassah’s many projects. Each ninety-nine cents will provide lunch for ten children. Tips which the waitresses received will go toward the Infant Welfare Station fund.
The thrift luncheon committee consisted of the mesdames Lewis Goldberg, Julian Ansell, Joseph Rabinovitz, Morris Winer, Walter Reinstein, Edward N. Marcus, Simon Cohen, Morris Goldsmith, Samuel Feirberg, Abraham Rudy, Julius Lasker, Joseph Abrams, Oscar Horowitz, Joseph C. Richmond, Morris Frank, Harry Ginsburg, Nathan Bloch, Louis A. Estrach. Morris Shapiro. Louis H. Segel, George Wyner, Francis S. Wyner, Wm. Solomon, Max Leavitt, Max Levenson, S. Albertson, Frank Yanes Maurice Masters and Edith S. Margolis.
