Margolis recognizes that the community the JCC hopes to serve — which, as she quickly points out, is all of Washtenaw County, not just Ann Arbor — is quite dif- ferent from older, larger, more well-established urban Jewish communities. In some ways Ann Arbor doesn't yet have a clear identity. In fact, nobody even knows for sure how many Jews reside in the area — something of concern for any organization, like the JCC, that wants to tap into that population. "We know there are a lot of unidentified in- dividuals," says Margolis. Ac- cording to Margolis the center has already enrolled 366 families. The questions facing Washtenaw County's Jewish community isn't unique. As a recent report, "New Insights on a Changing Jewish Com- munity" issued by the Coun- cil on Jewish Federations, in- dicates, the modern Jewish community in the United States is more mobile and dispersed than ever before in its history. "Lots of us live in smaller Jewish communities," says Stephen Stone, CJF national committee chairman on small cities. Margolis hopes that the JCC can respond to those demographic realities with inventive programming. She's been toying, for exam- ple, with developing programs with Jewish centers in Detroit and rIbledo so that singles and adolescents especially can have social op- portunities which don't exist at present. Margolis also hopes to make use of Ann Arbor's large volunteer population. She thinks that there's a wonderful potential resource using students from Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan for field experience. Margolis even hopes that eventually the JCC might be able to persuade some people to put down roots in the Ann Arbor area. "I think that the JCC can offer a reason for people to stay." mil LOCAL NEWS Seek Speakers The Hospice of South- eastern Michigan is seeking individuals to participate in its volunteer speaker's bureau.
