Qt I The BEST In

The expanded patio needed addition-
al furniture, Hayes said, but the grant
money covered the cost — an added
benefit to residents and their families.
Eighteen barbecue lunches were held
over the course of last summer, with 20
to 50 residents and guests attending
each one.
The program benefited the staff as
well as residents and their families,
Hayes said. "The resulting team dynam-
ic showed a positive result, bringing the
Menorah House team even closer
together," he said.
For Stephanie Seabrook of
Southfield, being part of the staff that
helped implement the program proved a
good way to get to know her co-work-
ers. "We all work in different depart-
ments," said Seabrook, a Menorah
House receptionist. "We don't usually
have that kind of contact with each
other. It worked out really well."
Even after the successful program
came to a close on Sept. 26, the grant
money kept on giving. Funds were used
in September for taking 15 of the
Menorah House staff, representing seven
different disciplines and departments, to
the annual Health Care Association of
Michigan Convention in Traverse City.
"There they enjoyed motivational
talks and camaraderie that served to
buttress the team-building exercise
they had participated in all summer,"
Hayes said.

JFS Plans
Fall Fix- Up

Volunteers are needed for Jewish
Family Service's fourth annual Fall Fix-
up, an opportunity for individuals,
families and organizations to make a
difference in the lives of the communi-
ty's elderly. Micki Grossman and Dr.
Steven Dunn are chairpersons for the
service program, which is scheduled
9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5.
At the Fall Fix-Up, teams of volun-
teers will help homebound older adults
by providing minor home repairs and
indoor/outdoor cleanup. Among other
tasks, the volunteers will rake leaves,
hang pictures, clean/organize base-
ments, winterize windows and change
light bulbs.
Sponsors for Fall Fix-Up include
William Beaumont Hospital, Comerica
Bank, Farmer Jack Supermarkets and
the Jewish News. The JFS event will be
part of "Michigan Make A Difference
Day." To volunteer, call Michelle
Greenstein, (248) 559-1500.
