Working in high stress situations on a daily basis, these soldiers have enough to worry about. The last thing they should have to think about is how their families will be looked after if something happens. That's why the Michigan Friends of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) was established. We help provide educational and social assistance to the families of soldiers who have been killed or wounded in the line of duty. We also help make it possible for active duty soldiers to take a much-needed respite from the uncertainties they face in the field. Join us Wednesday, October 8, 1997 at 6:OOpm at the The Palace of Auburn Hills for "A Golden Anniversary Celebration." This spe- cial evening will honor Julius Spielberg and The Michigan Veterans of the IDF, with special guest Moshe Arens. Dinner chairs: Shari and Alon Kaufman. For further information, please call (248) 546-2003. Through your attendance, you'll be giving these soldiers the extra lift they deserve. 9/12 1997 • 13
