THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
o Stephen Bromberg to Head JVS
Stephen A. Bromberg was
elected president of the
Jewish Vocational Service
and Community Workshop
of Detroit at its annual
meeting. Bromberg has
been associated with the
agency for the past 10 years,
serving as its vice president
and most recently as chair-
man of its facilities de-
velopment committee.
Nora Barron, who has
served as president of the
JVS for the past two years,
reported at the meeting that
despite the decline in the
economy between 1981 and
the present, the growth of
the agency continued un-
abated.
As the agency's fiscal
year ends, nearly 5,000
people have been provided
with vocational counseling,
job placement and voca-
tional rehabilitation serv-
ices. During this time, the
agency's budget rose from
$2.8 million to $3.4 million.
Toctay, JVS provides
special programs to as-
sist workers who have
recently lost their posi-
tions as a result of the
economic downturn. One
such project, called Proj-
ect Bridge, has served 68
percent of its clients. An-
other program tor the
newly unemployed fo-
cuses on the plight of the
displaced homemaker.
This program has re-
sulted in service to 69
percent of those served.
Albert I. Ascher, the
agency's executive director,
commented on the agency's
prospects for the future. He
noted that in the late 1980s,
there would not be an abun-
dance of program funds that
characterized the rapid
growth of social service
agencies in the '60s and
'70s.
He concluded that the
growth of the JVS could
occur only through the ap-
plication and use of new
technology and attracting
greater support from the
private sector. He described
how automatic data proc-
essing techniques were
being used and would be
used increasingly in the
agency to reduce the clerical
burden and to enable pro-
fessional staff to spend a
higher percentage of their
time in providing direct
services to their clients.
The Lexitel Corp. re-
ceived the "Employer of the
Year Award." The second
award was made to Rose
Chemical Co. as "Contrac-
tor of the Year."
In addition to the elec-
tion of Bromberg, the
other newly elected offi-
cers are: Stuart Golds-
tein, John Greenberg and
Susan Miller, vice
presidents; Dennis
Kayes, secretary; and
Richard J. Maddin, trea-
surer. Elected to the
board were: Bromberg,
Eugene Driker, Irwin El-
son, Harvey Gordon,
Richard Lenter, Lawr-
ence Portnoy and Mary
Shapero.
JVS is a beneficiary of the
Jewish Welfare Federation
and the United Foundation.

GENEVA (JTA) — A
wealthy Palestinian Arab
paid $160,000 for a rare
silver shekel dating from

at the time of the first
Jewish revolt against
Rome, came from the collec-
tion of Virgil Brand. Its
book value was only
$35,000 and the unexpec-
tedly high bid crew a stand-
ing ovation from the audi-
ence.
The purchaser, identified
only as a ,Mr. Barakat who
hhas homes in Jerusalem
and Beverly Hills, Califor-
nia, said the shekel is for his
private collection and will
not be for sale. It weights
14.07 grams.
