about the workings of the
Games from the veteran
team. This year, 11 of 38
subcommittee chairman-
ships are held by volunteers
who worked the Detroit
Games in 1984. The experi-
ence has helped Detroit
handled the geometric ex-
pansion of the Games.
Ewing has also been in-
vited, along with the rest of
the Baltimore organizing
committee and subcom-
mittee chairpersons, to at-
tend the August Games and
get some first-hand experi-
ence in running the competi-
tion.
Each head of the
Baltimore subcommittees
will be paired with his or her
Detroit counterpart, and
spend 36 hours shadowing
that person. The Detroit or-
ganizing committee has in-
vited the Baltimore com-
mittee to attend the Games'
opening ceremony at the
Palace as special guests, and
plans a VIP reception for the
out-of-town delegation im-
mediately following the
Sunday night festivities.
In Baltimore, Ewing has
begun a preliminary search
for venues, exploring the
possibilities of using
facilities at local colleges. He
has also sent letters to city
and county government offi-
cials, as well as local and
state law enforcement agen-
cies alerting them to the
potential impact of the 1992
Olympic-style competition
on Baltimore. Ewing said all
have been positive in their
responses, and look forward
to hosting the influx of
athletes.
The estimated cost of this
year's Detroit Games is ap-
proaching $1 million. Ewing
has talked to Leonard We-
inglass, a Baltimore native
and part owner of the na-
tional Merry-Go-Round
clothing store chain, about
corporate sponsorship for
1992. Weinglass said he will
approach his partners about
participating as a sponsor,
and he is optimistic though
no commitment has been
made so far.
Weinglass has also offered
to "make a few phone calls"
seeking out other companies
who might be willing to help
defray the cost of the
Baltimore Games.
Perhaps the most difficult
job for Ewing will be secur-
ing accommodations for the
guest athletes. As in Detroit,
competitors will be housed
with host families. Accor-
ding to one Detroit
organizer, housing is a key
ingredient in these games.
"To just have the games —
to just have the kids play

their sports and go home —
is not enough," said Detroit
Games chairman Jay Robin-
son. "We have to have chem-
istry between the kids and
the community. That's
what's important."
Detroit needed 1,000
families to volunteer as
hosts. Ewing will need a
similar number of hosts, and
he is hoping the Jewish
community in Baltimore
will be as willing as
Detroit's to open their doors
to the young athletes.
"The big push in planning
will start in September,"
Ewing said, "after we see
what goes on in Detroit."
