ENSURE EVENT In 1995, Troy attorney and West Bloomfield resident Barry Lipson and his wife, Debbie, painfully learned how fragile the life of a child can be. Their son, Brian, was born with a rare, life-threatening, non-genetic condition that allowed fluids from feeding to enter his lungs. Thanks to the staff at Children's Hospital of Michigan, prompt surgery corrected the defect. The Lipsons and friends Matt Prentice, Bruce Stoller and Don Tanner created the organization ENSURE (Endowment for Surgical Research) to benefit the pediatric research at Children's Hospital. On Monday, Aug. 30, ENSURE will present its third annual Golf Classic and Auction at Tam O'Shanter Country Club in West Bloomfield. Foursome reservations are available as well as tickets for non-golfers. For information, call Judy Chupack, (248) 649-7200.

But we did it. Today, a lot of other creatures face similar extinction. And unless we step up our efforts to protect their habitats, they may not be so lucky. At the Sierra Club, we've mounted a major campaign to defend the Endangered Species Act and preserve threatened habitats before their inhabitants are gone forever. Please, contact us to find out how you can help protect threatened and endangered animals. Because no amount of popular demand can bring an extinct species back to life.
