Greetings

The First Independent Mikulincer S. B. A., has honored me with the privilege of extending a cordial greeting to each and every one of you assembled here tonight. A vote of thanks is due all those who have worked so whole-heartedly to make this affair a success. We are especially grateful to the advertisers in our Journal whose financial support will enable us to carry on the relief activities of our organization. Our various committees spared no effort and expense so that you all may spend an enjoyable evening. This banquet may well be called a "get-together" tendered to all those who honored us with their presence tonight. My sole regret is that I cannot have the inexpressible pleasure of thanking you individually for your splendid cooperation. On behalf of the members of the First Independent Mikulincer S. B. A., I extend to you all, a hearty and cordial welcome.
