publisher's letter I t has now been 18 months since I came to the Jewish News as the pub- lisher of Style magazine, and what a thrill it has been! Currently we publish Style magazine five times a year, reaching the general community, and have added the monthly product Style magazine at the Jewish News inside the newspaper. Our support from you, our readers, has been tremendous since beginning Style at the Jewish News in May of 2000. Last month, we expanded the reach of Style at the Jewish News to an additional 7,000 families right here in our local community. We welcome you and hope you will enjoy all of our products. In this issue we feature many diverse topics. Our trends article showcases a dream playhouse for two precious sisters. For the auto aficionados, we highlight the Concours d' Elegance, Detroit's premier event for vintage automobiles. Meet volunteer Rose Lieberman, the first woman to chair this prestigious happening. In the food department, read the article on Auntie Helen's Mandel Bars. I'd like to thank all of our staff that has worked so hard to make all of these changes a reality and to thank our readers and advertisers for making it possi- ble for Style products to continue to grow. Some stores sell designer jewelry. At M.B. Jewelry, we are the designers. (248) 356-7007 M.B. JEWELRY DESIGN & MFG. LTD. Applegate Square •• 29847 Northwestern Hwy.
