The Golden Age Ch&al Group of the Jewish Center, featuring Esther Kaufman as soloist and
ella Goldberg, pianist, will be led by Cantor Nicholas Fenakel in a premiere performance 8:30 p.m.
Thursday at the Labor Zionist Institute. The cantata, "Israel — A Dream Realized," by Samuel
Bugatch, will be part of "An Evening of Culture and Entertainment" under the auspices of the
Committee of Landsmanshaften for the Jewish National Fund and Metropolitan Detroit Bnai Brith
Council. Members of these groups and their friends are invited at a small charge. Guest speaker will

Mentally Retarded Young Adults
Taste New Experiencs at Center
Five and a half years ago, the
Jewish Center, in cooperation with
the Northwest Child Rescue
League, initiated a social program
for mentally retarded and slow-
learning young adults. One group
met weekly at the Center.
Since then, the program has
grown. There are now 40 members
in three groups: Israel Boys for
older teen-age and young adult
boys; Israel Girls for older teen-
age and young adult girls; and the
Detroiters, a co-ed adult group.
The three groups, which meet
informally on Thursday evenings
throughout the year, provide social
and recreational experiences.
Clubs are led by specially-
trained staff who help the mem-
bers plan activities, such as Jew-
ish holiday celebrations, camping
trips, gym and pool nights and
socials. The groups have learned
to develop their own programs and
assume responsibility for carrying
them out.
For several years these groups
have attended Camp Tamarack
each winter and summer. This
year, the groups took their first
trip to another city. Twenty-
eight members went by bus to
Toronto, Niagara Falls and Wel-
land, Ont., for a full weekend
of sightseeing.
For many, this was the first
opportunity to stay in hotels and
take such a sight-seeing trip.
Linda Collens, Dorothy Collens

and Iry Stern served as volunteers
on the trip.

gram, call Allan Gelfond, DI
