-1951-
February 2, 1951—"Center Group Elects Officers," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 4: Eli H. Levenson, prominent communal leader, was selected to lead the Jewish Community Center Association again in 1951, at a meeting of the newly elected Board of Directors. Three prominent advocates, Morrie Douglas, Harry Mallen and Lou Mogy, were elected to the vice presidencies of the organization. Watchdog of the finances for the coming year will be Nathan Schiller, elected as Treasurer, while Rod Horrow was selected to be Secretary. Levenson, in accepting the presidency, stated that in 1951 he hoped that the Center would become a factor in the community, and that he as well as the other officers would do everything in their power to begin the realization of the dream of the last five years. Appointment of the following committees were made—all officers and dr. Robert Stone, Henry Price, Maury Ackerman; Program Committee; Morrie Kraus, Chairman; Harry Mallen and Yale Naliboff. Other committees are to be appointed. The committee to participate in the Joint Center Committee was announced as Lou Mogy, Seymour Rabin, Harry Wax, Milton Roberts and William Starr. Esther Siegel, Director of the Armed Services Program, reported on the activity of the Armed Services Committee, which is financed by the Community Center Association. Since it was indicated the USO has not become completely activated, and that the Jewish Welfare Board has not set up operation in San Diego for some time, the Board of the Community Center Association voted the necessary funds to continue the Armed Service Program for an additional two months. The project will be continued at the Temple Center Lounge.
November 21, 1951—"Center and B'nai B'rith Youth in Co-Op Program," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 10: In order to provide trained specialized program leadership to the B'nai B'rith Youth Organizations locally, the Community Center Association and the B'nai B'rith have entered into a cooperative arrangement to establish the best possible program for the B'nai B'rith Girls and the A.Z.A. The Center, according to Eli H. Levenson, president and Harry Wax, B.B.Y.O. Coordinator, will provide instructors and specialists as requested and required by the two B'nai B'rith Organizations in order to give them a complete program. At present a session of Ball Room dancing with an instructor provided by the Center is being given twice a month to joint meetings of the two groups. Dave Anfanger of the Center's "Specialist Staff," will coach basektball for the A.Z.A. every Sunday, starting at 12:30 at the University Heights School. It is hoped that an arts and Crafts instructor and a Boxing Coach will be added to the Specialist Staff. These are available to any group in the community who desire their use.
