,most 90 people,

ranging in age from 5
to 75, showed up
Oct. 26 to help 27
Jewish families spruce up their
homes.
Despite the uncooperative
weather on that Sunday morn-
ing, the Jewish Family Service's
Fall Fix-Up was a great success,
said co-chairmen Gadi Kaplan
and Irvin Kappy.
"The clients that we did the
project for were very apprecia-
tive and volunteers thought this
was a very worthwhile project,"
Kaplan said.

a

gram manager at JFS, received a
letter from one of the clients
applauding the children that
were there, saying, "It was a
good lesson in volunteering and
helping others."
Kappy said many of the
assisted seniors appreciated the
company as much as the work
done in their homes.
"It was heartwarming to see
the work being done, but
heartwrenching to see the plight
of some seniors," he said.
The Fall Fix-Up was part of
Michigan Make a Difference Day,
and this particular project was the
only one in Southfield. 0
