Biographical / Historical Notes
San Diego Community Service was a social service agency devoted primarily to promoting, organizing, and operating recreational
and cultural activities for children in the San Diego community. The Community Service group was involved with various associations
and organizations throughout San Diego County that promoted activities for children within the community, including the San
Diego City Schools. The group did many projects in conjunction with the San Diego City Schools to help promote recreational
activities for children. They even employed a Drama Director, Alice Lee, to help promote drama and visual arts within the
city school system
This group received most of its funding from the Community Chest, and a majority of the members of the organization held their
positions on a voluntary basis.
This collection contains meeting minutes, correspondence, and other administrative records of San Diego Community Service,
