Belle Isle Picnic Is Set for solated Jews

The Community Out-
reach Project of the Jewish
Vocational Service is plan-
ning a picnic on Belle Isle on
July 23 for isolated Jewish
adults it has located in De-
troit nursing homes.
The project, under the di-
rection of coordinator Anne
Stone, has identified more
than 100 persons who are
isolated "from their reli-
gious and cultural heritage,
their families and from
society as a whole."
Since the beginning of the
year, the project has or-
ganized a group of Volun-
eers for Isolated People
Ps), who visit individu-
s on a monthly basis.
There are currently 14 VIPs
and more are being sought.

In March, founding
VIPs Sam Sobel and
Leonard Aranovitz,
along with Ms. Stone,
took nine "clients" to see
the Shrine Circus.
In May, Downtown-Fox
Lodge and Chapter of Bnai
Brith hosted a luncheon for
11 clients at the Jimmy
Prentis Morris Branch of
the Jewish Community
,Center. Saul Brenner and
Morris Victor organized the
event and Julius Ring pro-
vided a program of Jewish
songs.
Downtown-Fox is now
planning to host luncheons

for different clients several
times a year.
In late May, volunteers
from the JVS Senior Service
Corps of senior adult volun-
teers hosted a similar
luncheon for 15 clients, in-
cluding several in wheel-
chairs. The Senior Service
Corps volunteers socialized
and reminisced with the
clients.
Albert Ascher, execu-
tive director of the
Jewish Vocational Serv-
ice - Community Work-
shop, was deeply moved
to see one group of
JVS-CW clients helping a
second group of clients.
Ascher said, "One of the
greatest accomplishments
of the Community Outreach
Project has been to gal-
vanize leaders in the corn-
munity to organize and par-
ticipate in voluntary ac-
tions on behalf of this iso-
lated group."
Ascher said few programs
with which he has been
associated have achieved so
great a degree of spontane-
ous community support.
The July 23 picnic at
Belle Isle will involve as
many clients and volun-
teers as possible; Ms. Stone
said. The clients will be
transported to the JVS-CW
in Detroit and then bused to
Belle Isle for the event.
Ms. Stone explained

Shown at the Downtown-Fox event are, from left,

and Sarah Solomon and Rose Fine. Seated in front is
