ly old dates — like we're talking
dates from way back in high
school. The reunions, as always,
proved fun and fruitful. Post-
mortem gossip for hours.
Nu?
There was dancing, food and
some booze. Incidentally, who or-
dered that stretch-stretch limo
waiting out front? And did it have
a dry bar? How about a televi-
sion?
Seen on the scene: David

many, many others.
Itzhak Perlman and Angel Records help
make your Holidays more harmonious.
Though many have tried, few have come close to
the musical genius of Itzhak Perlman. His violin
speaks to us in sweeping ranges of emotion that
leave all those listening truly exhilarated. Nov.
from Angel Records, Itzhak Perlman brings you
the untamed and unrestrained sounds of klezmer
music - the music he first loved.

Good luck to all of you em-
barking on final exams in a quest
for that coveted bachelor's, mas-
ter's or doctorate. Jam and cram,
but remember, there's a bright
white light at the end of the tun-
nel (I think it might indicate an
approaching snowstorm).

Robert Mattler is the young
adult chair of Federation's up-
coming "Christmas Day Extrav-
aganza." Dear readers, this event
is simply incredible. EYE knows
because EYE covered it last year.
Before 9 a.m. on X-mas morning,
good-hearted people were
swarming around the Federation
building and waiting for the
doors to open so they could vol-
unteer for the day's event. EYE
had to rub her sleep-encrusted
eyes to execute a quick reality
check. Evidently, it was real, and
it'll happen all over again this
year.
Rob, who's co-chairing the do-
gooders' gig with Barbara
Tukel, Randy Sakwa, Stacey
Hoffer and Amy Lavetter,
says volunteers will have the op-
portunity to prepare food, serve
meals, entertain and shmooze
with elderly at nursing homes,
kids at food kitchens, as well as
mothers and children at domes-
tic-violence shelters. There will
be a total of 20-or-so locations
where Jews can preform random
acts of kindness on this day of
good cheer.
"I think people want to feel
good. They want to help others
and there is a real need," Rob
says.
The Extravaganza begins at
9 a.m., Dec. 25, and lasts until
about 3 p.m. Everyone initially
meets at the Max M. Fisher
Building, where they'll be treat-
ed to a continental breakfast.
The event is sponsored by Fed-
eration's Young Adult Division,
Women's Division, the Business
and Professional Women's Divi-
sion and the Michigan-Israel
Connection. For more informa-
