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.) S WE ARE GRADUATION PARTY SPECIALISTS! 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!", Mike Must wearing a brown suit because "My tux didn't fit", Fred Yaffe talking advertising with client 011ie Fretter, Roz & Sherm Becker talking fashion, Howard irip7 MCF stalwarts Mort Crim, Wayne Newton and Joe Antonini. 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 ...
