"There are those who have bought homes in the target areas who could affort a house in West Bloomfield but prefer to live here." In addition to loans for new home buyers, the Neighborhood Project, in con- junction with the B'nai Brith Covenant Credit Union, offers residents of the target areas up to $5,000 in loans for home improvements. But the Neighborhood Pro- ject isn't just a loan agency. "The loan is just one part of the total program," said Silver, who is continuously working on new community- wide projects aimed at developing "a feeling of neighborhood, friendship, relationship, cohesiveness and pride" for the residents of these areas. Two neighbor- hood groups, one in Southfield and the other in Oak Park, have been formed to plan social events and com- munity projects. From neighborhood saftey pro- grams to a kosher food fair, Silver says the groups have been very successful in in- tegrating the new and long- time residents. "We're not trying to create a Jewish ghetto in these areas," said Silver. "Our focus is not to keep other ethnic groups out. We want to main- tain a balanced racial and ethnic diversity." The Jewish Welfare Federa- tion is hoping the success of the Neighborhood Project will spare local Jewish organiza- tions and institutions the ex- pense and pains involved with a move to the northwest suburbs. "Some institutions might want to reassess their north and westward moves," suggested Federation presi- dent Giles. While few dare predict the future of the Neighborhood Project, those involved re- main optimistic. Said Giles: "Nobody can say with cer- tainty what's going to take place in ten years. But in five years, Oak Park and Southfield will still be impor- tant centers of Jewish living and in ten years the north- west and westward migration will largely be behind us." Said Silver: "Some people who buy houses in Southfield and Oak Park now may not be there in ten years, but there will be others." Detroit Bonds Affiliate Marks Record Year The Metro Detroit State of Israel Bond Organization was at the forefront of 1987 major city top producers as the na- tional Israel Bond organiza- tion realized its best year with sales of more than $604,249,000. Locally, more than $20.4 million in loan fund dollars was invested during the past 12 months through the Israel Bond program, it was an- nounced by Metro Detroit Cash Collection Chairman Jerome Soble. Sales of Israel securities locally in 1987 top- ped Detroit's 1986 production by more than $5.3 million, representing a 36 percent in- crease and the highest sales achieved in the history of Detroit's 36-year campaign. Statements by individual division chairmen at the re- cent board meeting supported Soble's report. Women's Divi- sion Chairman Barbara Stollman and New Leader- ship Division Co-chairmen Donald Wagner and Larry Wolfe announced substantial increases in their divisions' memberships and purchases. The women's division, augmented by New Leader- ship volunteers, mounted a year-long reinvestment telephone campaign under the chairmanship of Dottie Wagner, resulting in over $1 million in .maturing Bonds being reinvested into higher- value securities to aid Israel's economic growth. Wagner reported that New Leadership, a rapidly growing division of young adults, had more than doubled its membership in the past year and has expanded its ex- ecutive and general boards. Following a year of recruit- ment and educational ac- tivities during 1986, a highly successful sales campaign was added to the division's 1987 agenda, culminating in "Bonds Go Broadway," a for- mal supper-dance geared to Bond purchases, and resulting in New Leadership being responsible for new subscriptions. Wagner's co-chairman, Wolfe, added that New Leadership soon will be issu- ing a 1988-1989 calendar/ad book which will serve several functions, including pro- viding material about the Bond instruments and the current Israeli projects being built with the help of Israel Bonds, plus information per- taining to the New Leader- ship Division and its schedul- ed activities.
