Perspective: A Good CauseSan Diego Jewish Times, July
13, 2005 |
The San Diego Jewish Times heartily endorses the community campaign to erect a monument in Jewish pioneer Louis Rose's honor, in the area of Point Loma once known as Roseville. Our columnist, Donald H. Harrison, biographer
of Rose, is one of the organizers of the campaign that seeks to include all
members of the Jewish community and our Gentile friends as co-equal
contributors. Rather than seeking large contributions from the major donors of
our city, the Louis Rose Society seeks 3,000 contributions of $36 (double chai)
from businesses and households throughout San Diego County. In this way,
the monument honoring San Diego's first Jewish settler will truly be an
expression of popular sentiment. We urge our fellow Jewish San Diegans to make
this tax-deductible contribution. Please make out your check for $36 to the
"Jewish Community Foundation" and put on the memo line on the check:
"Louis Rose Fund." Then send the check to: Jewish Community
Foundation, 4950 Murphy Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92123. Together, let's help the fund grow as the Jewish community embraces our proud history in San Diego. This is truly a good cause.
