Ladies: I was asked...to tell of the early history and struggles of the Ladies' Hebrew Benevolent Society ...In order to achieve our aim, to build a temple, we had to have funds, and ...it was decided a bazaar should be held. As you can imagine...we worked faithfully. ...Suffice it to say, our little band accomplished much. Some really beautiful pieces of embroidery and fancy articles were made. We were enthused and wanted to accomplish our exalted purpose. After a winter of work and really pleasant meetings, we decided the time had come to hold our bazaar. Our vice-president thought it would be a good move to enlist the outside support of our husbands and other members of the congregation in our work. So we asked them to write to the firms they had "biz" dealings with for aid in our cause. Nearly all responded generously....After three days of arduous labor our bazaar was closed. We had the means on hand wherewith to build a sanctuary.
