Dedication of the B’nai B’rith-I. Rude Community Building took place during the four-day Tri-State convention of the I. O. B. B. being held here now.
Benjamin F. Stapleton, mayor of Denver, and H. P. Burke, justice of the Supreme Court of Colorado, addressed the gathering. Alfred M. Cohen of Cincinnati, president of the Constitution Grand Lodge, gave the principal address. Others on the program were Samuel Sievers, St. Louis; I. Rude, A. B. Hirschfeld, A. B. Cowen, and Maurice Spiegleman, local president, all of Denver; Rabbi C. E. H. Kauvar of this city and Rabbi Moise Bergman, of Pueblo.
The Community Building was purchased as the climax of a 25-year program for such an end, and through the aid of I. Rude for whom it is named.
