Y. Dear Youth Director: Enclosed you will find a poster on A. z. A. which we would appre- ciate your posting on your Bulletin Board. We are making this request because we sincerely feel that A. Z. A. can be of benefit to you and your institution, and to the young people of your community. If you are not aware of the work we are doing may I briefly state: that thru our program of directed, and rounded social, social-service, religious, cultural, and athletic activity stimulated by a spirit of fraternity and imbued with Judaism and Americanism WC are preparing Jewi sh young mon for lead- ership and responsibilities in the adult community. 19,000 alophs in the United States have and arc receiving the benefits of our program. During the past year 30 chapters have been organized in New York City. You are invitod to make inquiry to our Office, 11 W. 42 St., La - 4 - 9492 about A. Z. A. and see for yourself the manner in which our Order serves Jewish institutions, the community and neighborhoods. A survey by the Wolfare Council of New York City tells us that here 65.2% of our young men are not participating in any club program. The other numbers are in the majority without supervision and adrift. 2.4% belong to clubs associated with religious institutions, 1.7% with Y's, 3.6% with sottlements or centers. That is why we are taking the liberty of writing to you. This must stop. Jewish young people must prepare themselves for responsible adult life. A. Z. A. can not handle this task alone. We need your cooperation. There's a: job to be done, and we can do it. I trust you will post the poster, communicate with our office, and urge your boys to find out for themselves why our members shout in unison and joy, "It's Really Great To Be An A. Z. A.! 11 Most cordially, Hyman H. Haves New York Director "GET YOUR FRIENDS TO JOIN A.Z.A."
