Reaching Out To Teens
We're looking for help in naming a new page that will debut in
December and will cater to teenagers.
Entries must be the handiwork of 13 to 19 year olds, be appro-
priate for a family newsmagazine and include the word "Teen."
We reserve the right to reject any entry. Relatives and employees of
The Jewish News are not eligible for the contest.
Entrants must include their name, age, telephone number and
address. Send entries by noon Dec. 3 to: Lonny Goldsmith, The
Jewish News, 27676 Franklin Rd., Southfield, MI 48034. Or e-
mail teenpage@thejewishnews.com , or fax (248) 354-6069.
If more than one submission carries the winning name, the ear-
liest received entry will be declared the winner. The winner will
earn a prize from The Jewish News.
