Set for 7:30 p.m., the

The Detroit Friends of
AKIM — the Israeli Associa-
tion for the Rehabilitation of
the Mentally Handicapped —
will have a benefit luncheon
noon Aug. 31 in the Franklin
home of Mala Dorfman.
Proceeds from the luncheon
will be geared for the building
of a home for mentally han-
dicapped young adults in Bat
Yam, Israel, a project in-
itiated by the late Paul
Zuckerman. Mrs. Dorfman
and Franka Charlupski are
chairing the project.
The purpose of the hostel in
Bat Yam is to provide a home
for mentally handicapped
youngsters whose parents
passed away or can no longer
care for them because of old
age, illness or broken homes.
The Bat Yam hostel will
house 16 to 18 persons over
age 20 of both sexes who are
able to use public transporta-
tion and can commute to and
from their places of employ-
ment by themselves. The cost
of the facility is $250,000.

Dorfman, 851-7988 or
