The Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities will formally begin its campaign to raise $543,500, marking its second quarter-century of welfare service, with a dinner at 6:30 o’clock tomorrow evening at the Hotel St. George. The address of former Governor Alfred E. Smith, who is the guest speaker, will be broadcast from the dinner hall over station WMCA from 10:00 to 10:30 o’clock.
The Brooklyn Federation was chartered in 1910 with nine affiliated agencies. In its first quarter-century of activity it has grown to an organization of twenty-five constituent agencies providing a rounded program of social service annually to 250,000 Brooklyn needy.
Walter N. Rothschild, vice-president and general manager of Abraham & Straus, and a vice-president of the Federation, is chairman of the 1935 Spring campaign. Mr. Rothschild will outline plans for the campaign at the dinner at which more than 1,200 persons are expected.
