Recreational Camps- Kinderland, Lakeland, Unity - Description:
- Inter Office Correspondance for Camp Kinderland, Camp Lakeland, and Camp Unity regarding insurance companies and camp fire coverage as well as the inspection of account books. William Karlin is the Examiner from the New York State Insurance Department office installed at I.W.O. headquarters to control managing its assets and activities. Inter office (rather than letter) is used by William Karlin since New York State's Insurance Department is in litigation with the IWO including on the transactions of the Camp Department and its increasing administrative and financial separation from the I.W.O. and JPFO.
- Notes:
- Karlin's name is inferred from larger body of correspondence
The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
