"Orientation U.S." Program Deputy Under Secretary of State for Administration-Washington
Dear Mrs. Paschall:
Miss Duvall of my staff has informed me of your valuable assistance in making hotel arrangements and planning a program for Ambassador Jayaratne of Ceylon and his party during their visit to Atlanta on March 16, 1964.
As you are well aware, the success of our "Orientation U.S." Program for foreign diplomats is largely due to cooperation from Americans such as yourself who volunteer to extend hospitality to our foreign friends regardless of the color of their skin.
Sincerely yours,
Pedro A. Sanjuan, Director
Office for Special Representational Services
"Understanding Ourselves and Others" Young Women's Christian Association
72 Edgewood Avenue NE Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Frieds:
As ones who are interested about building understanding and establishing better communications between groups in our community, you will be interested in a CITYWIDE HIGH SCHOOL WORKSHOP scheduled for Saturday, May 9, from 11:30 am to 4 pm at the CENTRAL YWCA.
DR. MARGARET MEAD, world-famous anthropologist and author, will make the key-note address. Her talk on "UNDERSTANING DIFFERENCES" will follow a showing of the excellent film "The High Wall", which dramatizes the general problems of prejudice as experienced by a Polish family in America.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Edward L. Askren, Jr.
Understanding Ourselves and Others sponsored by the YWCA Second Goal Club in cooperation with NAtional Conference of Christians and Jews and the Council on Human Relations of Greater Atlanta. REGISTER FOR THE ENTIRE WORKSHOP AS AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP REPRESENTATIVE. SEND REGISTRATION WITH $1.00 FEE BY MAY 7 to YOUTH DEPARTMENT, YWCA, 72 Edgewood Avenue, NE - Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Advanced registration required - limited to those who can attend the entire workshop.
AL HORN writes: Our ANNUAL FINANCIAL CAMPAIGN has been in progress since April 15th and will continue through May 15th. It is our hope that all of you will contribute and will invite the participation of your friends. Because of our lack of funds, we were not able to retain our Assistant Director, Mr. Thomas McPherson. Only your interest, your contributions, your monthly dues can sustain the Council. There will be for many years the need of the Council - LAWS CAN CHANGE THE PATTERNS OF SEGREGATION, BUT ONLY HUMAN RELATIONS GROUPS can change the hearts of mankind.
