The membership campaign of the Jersey City Jewish Community Center, launched at a dinner attended by 250 Sunday night, was reported making good progress today.
The Center is seeking to raise $20,000 in membership fees and special contributions by the end of the week, the money to be used to expand the program of activities during 1935. The sixth anniversary of the institution will be observed in February.
Speakers at the dinner, at which Judge Morris E. Barison of the Hudson County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court was installed as president of the Center, included former Congressman Isaac Siegel of New York, Dr. Philip R. Goldstein of the Jewish Welfare Board, Louis J. Kriegel, chairman of the enrollment drive, and Philip Diamond, president of the Paterson Y. M. H. A.
