MAIL DEPT ... from Faye B.
Weiner in Defray Beach, Fla. ...
"Delray Beach, is launching a
search for early settlers and their
accomplishments. For me, I'm
looking back at February 1979,
when almost 100 Jewish Michi-
gan transplants met at a large
cafeteria to form a club. The rear
room provided us limited space,
with chairs jammed together,
preparing us to plant the seed of
a Michigan Club.
" Amidst the tumult, voices try-
ing to be heard, a spoon for a gav-
el, order was reached long enough
for us to hear that a president,
vice president, treasurer, secre-
tary and a desperately needed
sergeant at arms had been cho-
sen. It wasn't like the birth of the
State of Israel, but highly exhila-
rating ... Through the busy, fun-
filled years, we found loyal
friends, enjoyed picnics, banquets
and interesting programs. Our
membership is now open to
friends from other regions. They
are welcome."
OPENING SOON will be Au-
die's by Julie and Dave Beau-
marchais ... It's named after

PICTURE THIS, writes Lou
Surowitz, from Atlanta ... A pho-
tograph of 44 "twenty-something"
Depression era students taken on
New Year's Eve, 1936, has in-
spired a reunion of many of those
pictured some 60 years after the
flashbulb went off.
The original party was a New
Year's Eve dance held in a room
at the University of Michigan
Union by a small group of other-
wise unaffiliated guys known as
the Joe Athletic Club ... With no
money to hire a band, the group
grabbed a nearby radio to create
the dance music and resulting fes-
tive atmosphere.
It was started by these fellows
several months before at a Uni-
versity of Michigan "bull session"
when they challenged each other
to name as many professional
athletes as possible with the first
name of Joe ... From there they
became a social and athletic group
playing intramural sports in the
1930s at U-M ... Many of the
laughing kids who'll attend the
reunion have not seen each oth-
er since that evening ... But for
Lou, who brought a blind date
(Ethel Bleier) to the party, and
ended up marrying her one year
later, this was the most impor-
tant shindig of his life.
And so, he made copies of the
photo, sent them to as many peo-
ple from the picture that he could
find ... Those 20-something
youngsters, now 80-something
kids, will get together tomorrow
night at Machus Red Fox on Tele-
graph and Maple ... and contin-
ue the celebration at a private
home Sunday afternoon.
They will be coming from all
parts of the country, including
California, Washington state,
Florida, Ohio, Maryland, New
Jersey, Georgia, and, of course,
Michigan ... Community-ites
