DANNY RASKIN LOCAL COLUMNIST
aying `Thank You" comes
quite a bit easier when
you're talking about
$650,000.
Even the food tastes better.
This was the amount raised by
Michigan Cancer Foundation at
its recent 12th annual dinner, as
Wayne Newton sang "Danka
Shoen" (thank you), his hit when
17 years old, for about 1200 peo-
ple in the Westin Hotel's main
ballroom with its huge glittering
chandeliers.
"Danka Shoen" echoed words
of all MCF workers from Dr.
Vainutis Vaitkevicius, Michigan
Cancer Foundation president,
who was recently named Scien-
tist of The Year by Bar-Ilan Uni-
versity in Israel; to Dr. Michael
Brennan, president emeritus; to
Maxine Ashcraft, assistant sec-
retary and vice president, devel-
opment; to Helen Zuckerman,
vice chairman, endowment
board; to Dave Hermelin, chair-
man, special advisory council; to
Gene Applebaum, chairman, en-
dowment board; and so many
others.
Wayne had been asked to ac-
cept the date a year ago by good
friend Joe Antonini, Kmart board
chairman and CEO, who with
wife Kathy were last year's din-
ner chairpersons and this year's
honorary chairpersons.
It was a big move for him be-
cause this would be only the sec-
ond time Wayne had not been in
Las Vegas on a Saturday night
for many moons ... The MCF
guests were thrilled at his invig-
orating, non-stop performance in
a hardly forgetful show ...
singing, joking, playing piano,
guitar, banjo, violin, trumpet, and
getting the audience revved up
with his lively hard-working
showmanship.
Three hundred of the huge
throng had two days earlier vis-
ited Joe and Kathy's magnificent
Bloomfield Hills home with food
stations everywhere for the
evening ... Foyer table with as-
sorted crostini, sofa table in liv-
ing room with brie sandwiches
and Gorganzola cheese, dining
room table with Caesar salad
among four salads and six
gourmet-styled pastas, kitchen
island with smoked Atlantic
salmon, kitchen table with fresh
vegetables and dips, plastic-cov-
ered outside deck (just in case)
with char-grilled lamb rib chops
and Provence-style layered pota-
toes, pool room on the lower lev-
el with elegant desserts and fresh
fruits (cherries, raspberries,
strawberries, kiwi, apricots, etc.)

A $650,000 Thank You
And Wayne Newton, Too
plus music and dance floor in the
cabaret setting.
Mort Crim, dinner chairman
of the fourth MCF affair back in
1986, did his usual excellent job
as master of ceremonies, intro-
ducing Mayor Dennis Archer for
the invocation; Dave Hermelin
telling about Michigan Cancer
Foundation's great strides; Tom
Angott with special presentations
to Joe Antonini and Dr. "Vee".
Most of the almost 1,200 at-
tendees enjoyed Westin's warm
service at dinner ... salad with
white wine vinaigrette, filet with
morel sauce and chicken topped
with jumbo lump crab and bear-
born in his house years ago on
Elmhurst between Linwood and
Lawton ... Matt Michaels on pi-
ano with a Johnny 'Pruden trio in
the foyer ... Johnny with a mu-
sical group for dinner ... Wayne's
accompaniment was band from
the Sands in Las Vegas where he
is appearing.
Mayor Dennis Archer telling.
everyone, "If you like what De-
troit is starting to look like now,
you haven't seen anything yet!",

naise sauce, mini carrots and
fresh asparagus, redskin pota-
toes shaped like mushrooms and
opera torte with mocca vanilla
sauce and fresh raspberry gar-
nish.
At the table with us were Har-
ry and Ann Korman, Geraldine
and Burt Rissman, Marian Ca-
plan, Milton and Eunice Ring,
Nick McKay and Nick McKay Jr.
Harry could win all the bets he
wanted that nobody would guess
his age ... or even come close ...
a surprising 86 ... He is also a big
supporter of the MCF Partners,
whose black tie party will be July
23 at Somerset Collection and
Golf Classic Tournament, July
25, at Players Golf Course in
Dearborn, chaired overall by
granddaughter Vicky Fingeroot
and Ed Wizner.
A lot of new faces in the crowd
... many familiar also ... Iry
Dworkin telling Miriam Colburn
that as Miriam Baker, she was
and
Camden talking about
Stewart's Restaurant, Olga
Dworkin buzzing around with
hellos, Frank and Betty Ellias al-
ways smiling, Doreen Hermelin
so pleasantly down-to-earth.
Mike Ilitch shrugging shoul-
ders and not saying anything
when asked about a new Tiger
stadium and proposed Foxtown
... Ed Jonna talking wine and
wife Juliette, catering ... Marty
Kellman talking home building,
Stan Krandall talking jewelry,
Kim Nye welcoming folks to vis-
it her at Saks in Troy where she
is general manager, Sydell and
Doug Schubot talking jewelry,
Bruce and Rosalie Rosen telling
folks about Variety's Celebrity
Ball the night before, Heidi Stein
talking hair fashions, Bill Wolf
talking furniture; same with Art
VanElslander ... Harry Korman,

ceived a first time ever MCF Os-
