Ways and means of “assuring unified national fund raising without the annual crises which have hampered efforts to raise maximum funds for Israel, overseas and local needs,” will be discussed at the 17th annual General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, it was revealed here today in a statement issued by Stanley C, Meyer, president of the Council.
The Assembly, which will open its session in Philadelphia on Jan. 14, will also consider a program for developing a closer “working partnership” between national agencies and local communities, and for dealing with numerous “diversionary, miscellaneous campaigns” for cash and materials, the statement said. Action will also be taken by the delegates on domestic needs. About 600 Jewish leaders from every part of the United States and Canada will attend the gathering.
