Troy St. FSLIC tag koosot.• . A u s Govemment Aga., Neighborhood Continued from Page 1 Neighborhood Project." Lay and professional lead- ers of the project have also met with 20 area real estate agents to explain the pro- gram, and several of the realtors have agreed to form a speakers' bureau to pro- mote the neighborhoods. In addition, three residents' groups have been formed "to see what' they can do to keep people coming into the area." The Neighborhood Project has done some preliminary studies of its first year of op- erations. The 65 home buyers were "pretty evenly distrib- uted between Oak Park and Southfield," Cooper said. Thirty percent of the pur- chasers were under the age of 30, 50 percent were 30-40, and 20 percent were over 40. Some 75 percent were young professionals and 50 percent have children. "We are trying to get data on the people who are sell- ing," Cooper said, but the project has limited -informa tion to date. Some 45 percent of the sellers are "empty nes- ters" with grown children no longer living at home and are moving to condominiums or out of Michigan, 25 percent are moving to another home within the Oak Park and Southfield boundaries of the Neighborhood Project, 20 per- cent are non-resident owners who are selling, and 10 per- cent are moving from Oak Park and Southfield to other Detroit suburbs. The first year results "ex- ceeded by a wide margin my expectations," said Mark Schlussel, chairman of the Neighborhood Project's steer- ing committee and treasurer of the Jewish Welfare Feder- ation. He was pleased by the community's "enthusiastic re- ception and the impact it will have on neighborhood stabili- ty."Quoting Brandeis Univer- sity demographer Gary To- bin, Schlussel said Oak Park and Southfield, if taken to- gether, would be the 15th largest Jewish community in the United States. He added that focusing on the quality of life in South- field, Oak Park and Hun- tington Woods, "on the diver- sity of population —Jew and non-Jew, white and black" allows the Jewish community "to do our part to keep it a stabilized, integrated neighborhood and not a neighborhood in transition." He said the grant from UnitedJewish Charities would be re-evaluated if de- mand exceeds the funding. Marty Kraar, executive vice president of the Jewish Welfare Federation, was asked by The Jewish News about upgrading facilities of Jewish agencies and services in the area to match the commitment to the Jewish neighborhoods. "The process has begun to look at what is needed," Kraar said. "We are still carving it out, though. We are trying to see what the deficits are. The JCC has been very sensitive to this." The JCC — the Jewish Community Center — has made $145,000 in renovations and capital improvements at the Jimmy Prentis Morris Branch in the last five years. "It's public knowledge," said Mort Plotnick, executive vice president of the JCC, "that we have been looking at the possibility of adding 10,000 square feet of space for day care and the library" at the Morris Branch. Responding to long-term communal criti- cism about inadequate physi- cal education facilities at the branch, Plotnick said, "You have to understand what money is available and what kind of choices we have to make. We are always talking to the Jewish Welfare Feder- ation about the possibility" of adding a swimming pool and upgrading or expanding the gymnasium. "We're commit- ted to JPM (the Morris Branch) and have expanded services there," Plotnick said. Expansion of services has included the addition of Torah and exercise classes for Orthodox women, additional programming at all age levels, and construction of a larger atrium for the coffee klatch area. Ice Cream Social Sunday's ice cream social at the Jimmy Prentis Morris Branch of the Jewish Com- munity Center will have a "Love Thy Neighborhood" theme. Open to residents of Oak Park, Southfield and Huntington Woods, the event from 1 to 4 p.m. will include ice cream, a children's area for making challah covers, bookmarks, , edible necklaces and facepainting, pony rides, clowns and _relay races, Uri Segal leading Israeli dancing, and a performance by the Southfield-Lathrup Youth Theater. There will also be indoor displays focusing on educa- tion, cultural and special events, recreation and other available city services, as well as representatives from area synagogues, Jewish schools, institutions and organizations. The mayors of Oak Park, Southfield, and Huntington Woods are scheduled to speak during a brief formal pro- gram.
