‘éS ISRAEL BONDS TO HONOR IRMA ROSENSTEIN 6%“

With Pleasure and Pride the Central Kentucky Jewish Association invites
you to a State of Israel Bonds Dinner on Sunday, November 14, 1982 at the
Radisson Hotel.

The guest of Honor will be Irma S. Rosenstein. We are most pleased to
be able to say thank you and to acknowledge Irma's many contributions to
our Jewish community in Lexington, in Kentucky, in Israel and beyond. Among
her many activities she has chaired the Women's Division Campaign for UJA
and served as the first female member of the Board of Temple Adath Israel.

Irma has been a leader also in her many other areas of expertise:
Social Professions, Mental Health, Planned Parenthood and Interfaith,
particularly through her long and outstanding service to National Conference
of Christians and Jews.

Invitations with complete details will be in the mail shortly.

Our distinguished speaker will be Mr. Frank Gervasi, noted foreign
correspondent and author.

As head of the Rome Bureau of Hearst's International News Service,
Gervasi covered the European scene on the eve of World War Two. Unable
to persuade his employers that war was imminent and that grave dangers
faced the Jews — a subject he was instructed to ignore — Gervasi resigned.
He returned to New York and joined the staff of Collier's Weekly. In
that capacity he served as a war correspondent, based in Cairo, and had
frequent occasion to visit what was then Palestine where he became engrossed
in the Jewish people's struggle for nationhood.

After the war, he directed informational activities for The Marshall
Plan in Italy, and wrote a widely syndicated column for the New York Post,
”Dateline Your World.”

Books he has written include ”To Whom Palestine? the Case for Israel,”
”Thunder over the Mediterranean,” and an account of the Yom Kippur War of
1973, and the current ”Life and Times of Menahem Begin: Rebel to Statesman.‘
He is currently at work on an account of the so—called Islamic revolution,
to be published by Rawson—Wade.

The Israel Bond Organization is the major source of develOpment capital
for Israel, having provided over $5 billion since its inception to help
build every aspect of the nations' economic infrastructure. As a result of
the peace treaty with Egypt, thousands of military and civilian personnel
are to be redeployed from the Sinai to the Negev and industries, jobs,
communications, transportation and energy, along with the necessities of
everyday life must be provided within a short period of time. Israel looks
to Israel Bonds to help provide solid economic foundations both for the
development of the Negev and for the building of a peace economy.
