The IWANIERS

The marriage of Anne Lieberman and Emanuel Iwanier took place on December 23, 1956 at the Park Avenue Synogogue, New York Gity, and the reception was held at the Tavern-onthe-Green in New York’s Central Park.

Like seeks like is a wellknown expression based on fact rather than fancy. The lovely bride, as a secretary with an insurance company, and the bridegroom, who is one of several district managers of the numerically large and territorially widespread Branch 48-V, New York, New York, have an allied occupational background.

The newlyweds spent their first evening at the Barbizon Plaza Hotel overlooking Central Park South. The following morning they flew to Bermuda for a ten day honeymoon, the weather there being nice enough for them to spend half their time on the beautiful Bermuda beaches.

The couple is now living in Yonkers, New.York, the beautiful Westchester County suburban area.

Our very best wishes to the charming bride and our congratulations to our capable district manager.

It was requested by the Field Supervisors that a change be instituted in the Accident and Health and Hospitalization plan. It was pointed out by the Field Supervisors that the present plan is very undesirable and unattractive. A more competitive plan would enable our Field Force to produce more business which would increase the premium dollar income.

The Accident and Health and Hospitalization plan was thoroughly debated by the Committee and the Field Supervisors.
