Open Sundays
who pay a fee per class — won-
der if they will be able to afford
to continue their workout. The
women now pay $3 per session.
Anna Rothenberg of
Southfield uses the JCCenter
for bridge, painting and exer-
cise classes. She thinks the ren-
ovations of the building are both
beautiful and exciting, but isn't
sure how the changes will affect
her life.
"I'd love to come and use the
pool. I think it's going to be too
expensive though," Mrs.
Rothenberg said.
Currently, Mrs. Rothenberg
pays almost $60 per year to use
the building — senior citizen,
social rate. A social member-
ship, allowing her to continue
to enroll in classes without use
of the workout facilities, would
cost her $55. A general mem-
bership, including use of the
pool, would run Mrs.
Rothenberg $225 during the
specially priced membership
drive.
According to JPM's Ms.
Bash, the new services avail-
able can only benefit members,
especially those like Mrs.
Rothenberg.
"Scholarships are always
available, social or general. So
members, after filling out the
proper paperwork and demon-
strating need, could have the
benefits of athletic facilities for
the cost of a social member-
ship," Ms. Bash said. "The se-
nior citizens will not be
neglected. We're trying to get as
many people affiliated as we
can. And that includes scholar-
ships, social memberships and
complimentary memberships
to new Americans."
Some members, like Reva
Lederman of Oak Park, don't
see the renovations as chang-
ing their use of the building.
Mrs. Lederman will continue to
work on her Chinese and
Japanese paintings each
Wednesday as she has for five
years. She toils on commission
pieces and meets with her
friends. She is not particularly
interested in the exercise facil-
ities.
Still others, like Rose
Solomon of Oak Park, plan to
attend Sunday's dedication cer-
emony, take in a tour and then
determine if the building will
help her.
In celebration of the dedica-
tion, a brunch for major con-
tributors will kick off the day at
11 a.m. The community is in-
vited to hear Neil Alexander of
Aim Arbor play modern Israeli
music at 12:30 p.m. and Shelly
Jackier will lead folk dancing at
1:30 p.m.
At 1:15 p.m. the Wally Straus
Recreational Wing will be ded-
icated. Area rabbis are expect-
ed to officiate.
Tours of the facility, magi-
cians, clowns and pony rides
will be available all day, along
with a taste of what is being
touted as "the world's largest
challah," baked by Zeman's.
While the day's festivities are
open to the community as a
whole, high on the list of po-
tential members are new
Americans and members of the
Orthodox community living in
the immediate area.
To accommodate the
Orthodox, the physical educa-
tion department is scheduling
separate hours for men and
women to use the health club
and pool facilities.
Dividers have also been built
in the health club area so men
and women can exercise in sep-
arate areas at different times.
Pool viewing will not be per-
mitted during certain hours.
New Americans are given a
complimentary, general mem-
bership for three years and may
apply for scholarships at the
end of the time period.
"The Center feels it's impor-
tant to help out the new
Americans. They have a new
country, work, food and rent to
figure out. It makes it nearly
impossible for them to afford
the extras early on. We want
to get them comfortable and af-
filiated," Ms. Bash said.
