To raise funds to enable 1,250 children of the tenements to receive the benefits of Camp Sussex during the coming summer, a bazaar is being held on Tuesday, November 13, at Leverich Towers, Clark street, Brooklyn, by the Brooklyn Women’s Division of Camp Sussex.
Last summer the camp provided a three week vacation for 1,257 undernourished and anemic children. An effort is made by the admissions committee to choose only the most deserving for Camp Sussex vacations. Last year eleven diabetic children were referred to the camp by physicians who treated them in city clinics. Two German refugee children and three children made orphans by the suicide of their mother were also among those vacationing at Sussex. This group of special cases spent the entire summer at camp, though it is the policy of the institution generally to send the children home after three weeks.
The entire receipts of the bazaar will be turned over to the Camp Sussex Fund, all merchandise having been donated. The bazaar, which will be open all day, is being run under the chairmanship of Mrs. Joseph J. Schwartz.
