The Globe and Mail, 26 April 1958

The included clipping is from a Globe and Mail article, Toronto's Busy Children of the Covenant by Olive Dickason, about B'nai B'rith's annual donor dinner, fundraising efforts, and community impact.

"The list continues from there. The women now spend about $40,000 a years on community services. Most of this is raised by the donor dinner, at which the fundraising efforts of the women is augmented by the sales of the B'nai B'rith cookbook. An annual carnival accounts for most of the balance. What remains is raised by numerous small efforts of the 14 Toronto chapters (a new one is in the process of formation)".
