$50,000 Gift to Camp Tamarack in

Dr. Feller Heads
Honor of Nathan Fishman's Birthday Hint U.,.4 Drive

Presentation of a $50;000 check for Camp Tamakek was made
by Meyer Fishman (left) to Samuel H. Rubiner, (right) with Na-
than Fishman (center) watching.

The testimonial dinner at the
Balmoral Hotel, Miami Beach,•
where 150 friends and business
associates gathered Monday
evening to honor Nathan Fish-
man on his 60th birthday was
highlighted by a unique "birth-
day present," a check for $50,000
for Camp Tamarack, which each
year provides vacations for
hundreds of Jewish children.
The fund will be used to build
a new unit at Tamarack to be
known as the Fishman Village.

. With Harry N. Grossman pre-
siding as master of ceremonies,
the check was presented by the
brother of the guest of honor,
Meyer Fishman, on behalf of
the Fishman Foundation, and
accepted by Samuel H. Rubiner,
president of the Jewish Welfare
Federation of Detroit.
Mayor Harold Shapiro, of Mi-
ami Beach, presented the guest
of honor with the key to the
city- . Rabbi Irving Lehrman paid
,tribute to Mr. Fishman. Louis Q.
Miriani, president of the Detroit
City Council, who had flown

down especially for the event,
read a proclamation from the
Council in tribute to Nathan
Fishman's outstanding civic
service.
A delegation of 50 from
Knoliwood Country Club, many
already in Miami, and other
close friends and associates
from Chicago, Cleveland, Den-
ver and Elyria, 0., were among
the 150 persons in attendance.
As an enduring memento of
the occasion, a richly handcraft-
ed book "This Is Your Life,"
Nathan Fishman," was present-
ed by Mr. Rubiner. The book
records in text and photographs
the story of the man who set
foot in America at the age of
18 and achieved both business
success and communal distinc-
tion.
Mr. Fishman is president of
Star Steel Supply Co. with
branches in Los Angeles and
Houston. He. is a member of the
board of Sinai Hospital, an ar-
dent workerefor the Allied Jew-
ish Campaign and projects in
the general community.
