A quota of $590,000 has been set by the campaign executive committee of the Associated Jewish Charities of Baltimore, Md., for the drive to be conducted during the week of November 11.
This amount was decided upon at a meeting of the committee held in the Southern Hotel which was presided over by Sidney Lansburgh, president of the Associated Jewish Charities.
In the discussion at the meeting, led by Rabbi William Rosenau and Albert D. Hutzler, the necessity for reaching this quota was pointed out. In the four and one-half years since the last campaign, it was said, the sphere of activity of the nineteen constituent organizations has so widened and the obligations have so increased that it is beyond the present power of the Associated Jewish Charities to handle the situation.
A. Ray Katz, chairman of the committee for studying the needs of the constituent organizations, also declared that $590,000 is the irreducible minimum which must be raised.
