suitcases, pots and pans, figurines
and even a pineapple corer, for
the woman who has everything.
"There was nothing here yes-
terday — nothing," said Audrey
Sobel, president of the Greater .
Detroit Chapter of Hadassah, as
the sorting process was under
way. "The transformation is un-
believable."
In fact, it's looking more like a
boutique than a rummage sale.
Everything is organized — cloth-
ing is even arranged by size —
neat, and clean.
Hanging on several racks are
men's clothing, including a tuxe-
do or two, and wool suits from
Christian Dior and Saks Fifth
Avenue. They look like new. A
number of pants have never even
been worn; they still carry a tag
from the store where they were
purchased.
Of course, there is a sky-blue
polyester leisure suit amid all
those finds. "O000hh," one
Hadassah member groans as she
eyes it.
Some 20 Hadassah volunteers,
like life member Anna Klein, are
on hand for each of those four
days of sorting through the bags.
Others stop by with donations or
to lend support.
"The great thing is that this is
going to a wonderful cause," said
Nancy Handelman, a fourth-gen-
eration Hadassah member. "Not
only can you get some great stuff,

but you know you're contributing
to something really important."
The organization contributes to
Hadassah Hospital and other
programs in Israel.
It's going to take the input of
everyone, from Bobbie Malin
(who sits at the front desk) to the
maintenance director, Eugene
Spence ("indispensable" is the
way Hadassah workers describe
him), to get everything together.
The next challenge will belong
to shoppers. On rummage sale
days, getting a parking space at
Hadassah House itself is about
as easy as finding a song without
the word "love" on a Michael
Bolton album. Fortunately, a
nearby school and church help
out on Monday, the $5 a bag day
—.the big, big bargain day.
It's a good thing. Some of those
shoppers deserve a break.
"One time we had a woman
who came, by chance, with a
friend," Ms. Sobel recalled. "She
just happened to be in from
Cincinnati.
"She was so delighted that she
returned the next year, all the
way from Cincinnati, specifical-
ly to come to the sale. And this
time she brought her relatives
along to shop, too."
