inhuman and based on
ignorance the occasional
neighborhood obstructions
evidenced against planned
homes for retarded. He de-
clared it a civic duty for
people to be on the alert to
urge state and government
support for efforts to aid the
handicapped.
The services rendered
by JARC were described
in a pictorial report sub-
mitted by Joyce Keller,
executive director of
JARC. Musically im-
plemented, providing an
extensive view of the ac-
tivities in the seven JARC
Haverim Homes, and the
collective title of the im-

pressive collection of pic-
tures was "Together." It
was entertaining in the
sense of depicting the
attitudes of the residents
of the Haverim Homes, as
well as informative and
record-setting.
The annual meeting was
the occasion to bestow the
volunteer of the year award
on Rose AZA. Staff excel-
lence awards were given
thus: Joseph Tanzman
Memorial Award for excel-
lence in administration to
Lynn E. Medow, assistant
director of the JARC; Anna
Slomoyitz Honorary Award
for excellence in home man-
agement - to Sherry
Schamante, resident man-
ager, Frankel (Kingshire)
Home; and Marilyn Sisler
Memorial Award for excel-
lence in direct care services,
Tom Schamante, program
worker, Frankel Home.
Changes were voted in
the constitution and the
JARC bylaws upon pre-
sentation by the chairman
of the committee, Shelby
Tauber. The report of the
nominating committee was
presented by Cheryl Guyer.

attended by a capacity
audience, George
Cushingberry, legislative
consultant on social is-
sues and a former
member of the Michigan
House of Representa-
tives, encouraged all-out
means of reaching state
and national authorities
with emphases on the
urgency of extending as-
sistance to programs like
those pursued by
JARC...Wachler pointed
to the progress made
since the first JARC
Haverim Home was es-
tablished on Evergreen
in Detroit. He reported
that seven Haverim
Homes are now in opera-
tion, supervised by dedi-
cated staffs; and that the
membership in JARC has
grown from a mere hand-
ful 14 years ago to more
than 2,000.
He said that applications
are on file from hundreds
clamoring for admission to
JARC homes, and he de-
clared that if means were
available for the acquisition
of additional homes they
could be filled literally
overnight.
Cushingberry gave an ac-
count of services now in
progress in group homes
like those established by the
JARC and he deplored as

Guild Seeking Volunteers
for Service With Love'

The Sinai Hospital Guild
"Service With Love" pro-
gram is the perfect opportu-
nity for those who want to
volunteer, but have been
unable to do so because they
cannot get out of the house.
Volunteers are urgently
needed to make weekly
phone calls to lonely or
handicapped senior citi-
zens. For seven years, this
community outreach pro-
gram has coordinated vol-
unteer efforts to reassure
senior citizens that acci-
dents and illness will not be
ignored. More than 600
shut-ins are presently con-
tacted seven days a week.
The brief phone calls are
made from the convenience
of home, one morning per
week. Callers should be
good listeners and speakers
who are willing to report

back to the guild staff after
making the calls.
A complete training
and orientation program
is given to familiarize cal-
lers with the procedures
of "Service with Love."
To volunteer, contact the
Sinai Hospital Guild, 493-
5300.
