At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Hebrew Benevolent Society, held on Tuesday evening, July the 11th, 5608,
the Treasurer, Mr. John Levy, having reported that he had that day
received from the Ninth Annual Ball Committee, the sum of $498.80, as
the net proceeds of the ball held on the 9th of March, the following
preamble and resolutions were, upon motion of Mr. Robert Lyon,
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, At the usual period for holding
festive assemblies during the past season, fears were entertained for
the success of an attempt to get up the Annual Ball for this charity,
and but for the fact of the low state of the finances of this
institution, owing to the unparallelled and incessant calls from the
poor for relief, the matter would not have been persevered in for the
year 5608, when the few gentlemen, whose names are set forth in the
annexed resolution, tendered their valuable services as ball managers,
which were unanimously accepted. And whereas, the sum of $498.80 having
been paid to our Treasurer as the result of that ball, it is fitting
that this Board publicly testify their sense of the zeal and ability
manifested by these gentlemen: Therefore it is unanimously Resolved,
That the thanks of the Directors of this Society are eminently due unto
Harris Aaronson Esq., Chairman; Samuel Moss, Esq., Treasurer; Chas. S.
Lyon, Esq., Secretary; Sylvester Brush, Esq., Herman Goodman, Esq.,
Committee of the Board of Managers of the Ninth Annual Ball of the
Hebrew Benevolent Society of N. York.
Resolved, That the Secretary transmit a copy of the
above preamble and resolution unto each of the above named gentlemen,
and that a copy of the same, signed by the Secretary, be sent to the
Occident for publication.
Extract of the minutes of a meeting of the Board of
Directors of the H. B. Society, held on Tuesday, July 11th, 5608.
Henry Goldsmith, Secretary. |
