Mary and Cynthea Mazer share a moment after the Purim party.

My husband and I and two of
our granddaughters just spent a
delightful weekend at "Bubbie,
Zadie, and Kinder Camp" at the
Butzel Conference Center at
Camp Tamarack. This was a new
program sponsored by the Fresh
Air Society and what a wonderful
program it was. I don't know if the
Jewish community in general is
aware of the gem they have in the
Butzel Center. It is located at
Ortonville and sits on a beautiful
lake. The accommodations are ex-
cellent for the lodges are modern
and beautifully kept up. The food
is kosher and very, very good.
The staff, headed by Jeff Metz
and Carol Parven, were very effi-
cient and so wonderful to the
bubbies, the zadies and the kin-
der. Over the weekend we danced,
we sang, we ate and we had a
fabulous time.
Along with the fun, the warm
blanket of Judaism enveloped us.
There was a blessing at every
meal, we had a lovely Saturday
morning service and a beautiful
Havdalah service with our grand-
children. It was a wonderful ex-
perience for all who were there
and I hope the Fresh Air Society
will continue sponsoring it for
many years to come.

Ada Efros, age 64, is a grandmother in
