GET READY FOR FALL raise money for the com- • munity service. Participants will walk west on Civic Center Drive to Telegraph Road and then return. They can walk as little as one mile or the complete six-mile- course. .0.. Individuals can register for $5 and families for $10. In addition to raising money for programming, SPACE hopes the walk-a- thon will raise consciousness within the community. "The two-parent family in the United. States has become a minority," Irma Starr, director of SPACE, said. "Synagogues and communities still tend to think in terms of two-parent families. Changing families are a strain on everyone, in- cluding the schools. We need to address those changes!' For more information on the walk-a-thon or SPACE programs, contact the NCJW, 258-6606.

Mr. Tsyplyakov began attending the Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe (F.R.E.E.) synagogue at the Jewish Community Center in Oak Park.
