Unified Fund Campaign is Aided by ‘Operation Speech’ Two Anaheim pastors, Rev. Bob Kevorkian of First Baptist church, and Rev. Harry Stief, of Grace Lutheran church, head the speakers bureau of the Greater Anaheim Unified Campaign, which has set a goal of $94,720 this year, for furtherance of the work of the Community Chest, Red Cross, and the YMCA. The drive will officially get under way at a “kick-off” breakfast Tuesday, Oct. 11, at the YMCA. According to the pastors, the speakers bureau has available 21 speakers who are prepared to give short, concise, talks of not longer than 10 minutes duration before social and service clubs of the city in an effort to bring the story of the 1955-56 united fund campaign to the citizens. According to Rev. Stief, if everyone in the community could hear the information to be presented in these talks, the fund goal would be easily reached. Clubs and organizations are requested to call KE 5-5020 for a speaker, for either breakfast, noon time, or evening meetings. Rev. Stief and Rev. Kevorkian are also available for talks.
