Senior Service Corps cites
volunteers for their efforts

More than 50 volunteers,
age 60 and up, were recog-
nized recently "for their
dedicated work" on behalf of
the Jewish Vocational Serv-
ice's Senior Service Corps.
Certificates of apprecia-
tion, and JVS pins for first-
year volunteers, were pre-
sented to the seniors at a
luncheon:
Shirley Schlang is direc-
tor of counseling and
placement services at JVS.
Gail Stewart-Lifton, coun-
seling supervisor at JVS,
and Senior Service Corps
coordinators Gloria Bender
and Barbara Peltz are in
charge of the program,
which started in 1978 with a
grant from what's now the
Max M. Fisher Jewish
Community Foundation,
funded by United Jewish
Charities.
JVS itself is one of the 16
local agencies affiliated
with the Jewish Welfare
Federation and a benefici-
ary of the Allied Jewish
Campaign.
Persons interested in
joining the Senior Service
Corps are first assessed by
JVS in terms of their job
interests, skills and limita-
tions due to disability, said
Stewart-Lifton. Assign-
ments are made on this
basis. In some cases, jobs
have been created to suit
individuals. For example,
persons with low vision
have been doing surgical
packaging at Sinai Hospi-
tal.



Detroiters serve
on special
Bond committee

Detroiters Max Fisher
and David Hermelin, na-
tional campaign chairman
of Israel Bonds, are serving
on the State of Israel Bonds'
Weiler Birthday Committee
which will honor Jack
Weiler on the occasion of his
80th birthday on May 31 in
New York.
A longtime Bonds' associ-
ate, Weiler also was na-
tional chairman of the
United Jewish Appeal, vice
president of the Federation
of Jewish Philanthropies of
New York, board member of
the Jewish Agency Execu-
tive, president and chair-
man of the board of the Joint
Distribution Committee
and chairman of its national
council and board chairman
of the Albert Einstein Col-
lege of Medicine.

Volunteers accepted into
the program are asked to
make a commitment of one
day a week to the agency
where they'll be working.
Currently, Senior Service
Corps volunteers can be
found at the following

ment is provided for those
