"They care: These days we hear and read so much about how people do not want to get involved — they do not care about their neighbors. It is so refreshing to come across individuals who are concerned with others that I feel they deserve recognition from our community. "Recently at the Jimmy Pre- ntis Morris Branch of the Jewish Community Center, I found several people who un- selfishly contribute an after- noon each week of nostalgic, musical pleasure to about 60 senior citizens, many bused in for the afternoon program. "Phyllis Bratt, Mamie Law- son, Esther Crane, Mimi Sommers and Bernard Luchtan sang Yiddish, He- brew, Russian and English songs to the absolute delight of these members of the Social Club. From the looks on the faces in the audience, the sin- gers could have been Sophie Tucker, Ethel Merman, Judy Garland, Molly Picon and Al Jolson, and they wouldn't have been more appreciated. To quote Reva Klaymer when Phyllis Bratt was belting out her version of 'The Lady is a Scamp' (originally Rodgers and Hart's The Lady is a Tramp) — 'She's so lebedik!' Overheard from one of the men, 'When I know she is going to sing for us, I don't need to take my medicine!' Phyllis Bratt believes in giving her lis- teners warm, personal atten- tion — her philosophy of reach- ing out includes a pat on the shoulder, a hug, a touch of the hand. "Miriam Zack did a beautiful job of accompanying the group. When a request came from the audience, they took the song, and from scratch, made a prod- uction number out of it. Sol Begel (flute), Izhok Prikupetz (accordian), and Sid Mann with his singing violin accom- panied the singers. "A special treat for the Social Club was Sid's solo arrange- ment of the 'Hungarian Czar- das'. I'm sure many in the room were reminded of the popular Rubinoff and his violin. "Much credit for the success of the Wednesday afternoon programs of the Social Club must go to Bernard Luchtan who helped to organize this group 17 years ago, and who has been actively promoting it ever since. I'm told that Mr. Luchtan was a cantor — cer- tainly this explains his own beautiful voice and his love for the singing he has been re- sponsible for these many years. "Phyllis Bratt speaks for all these wonderful volunteers when she says of the Social Club audience, 'They give me much more than I can ever give them.' ". CONGRATS ... to Kay Bostick . . . of the Federation's Hectman Apartments . . . on her birthday. CONGRATS ... to Madelyne and Alvin Friedman . . . on their 25th anniversary . . . Surprise party at Excalibur was by daughters Amy, Lisa and Betsy. SOME WISHES FOR 1987 . . . That David Hermelin doesn't lose his voice . . . Also that he and wife Doreen keep on giving those great parties for wonderful causes. That Rube Weiss, George Young, our brother Marvin, Percy Kaplan and Max Sosin wake up one morning and find themselves with full sets of hair on their balded pates. That organizations stop giv- ing such wonderful affairs on the same nights. That Phyllis Tyner finally gets that hole-in-one she's al- ways yearned for. That the State of Michigan steps in and, starts exercising control over its kosher legisla- tion. That Diane "Your Truly" Hofsess stays as sweet as she is . . . never ever following in the footsteps of some gossip col- umnists . . . Also that readers realize that her writings mean having and not having a job. That Jimmy Launce, Jay Roberts, Tom Ryan, Warren Pierce and Dick Purtan keep getting better as they seem to be doing. That our "love affair" with all the girls at The Jewish =, News never stops. That Linda Solomon's hair continues to remain long. That Bob Talbert finds the diet of happiness . . . good food without gaining weight. That Allan "The Singing Window Washer" gets the break he's looking for . . . and we don't mean somebody's window. That we can see what Chuck Muer would look like in a long tie instead of a bowtie. That somebody invents a gadget for Barry Solomon (Linda's hubby) to always keep a hamburger "slider" in his pocket. PERCY KAPLAN WRITES . . . about a man being seen walking along car- rying a sign with nothing on it. "What are you picketing against?" asked a passerby. "Nothing," was the reply. "I'm looking for a sponsor."' . . . and the customer who sat down in the restaurant and said, "I'll have a corned beef sandwich, and make it lean." "Yes, sir," said the waiter. "Which way?"
