PUMPKLN LOGS ARE HERE! tI ur kitchen was so old, it was becoming trendy 0 again," quipped Steve Permut about the room he and wife Linda had considered redoing for years. Concerned about changing the character of their nearly 70-year-old home and perplexed that the only additional space they could add would require a size reduction of the unusually large dining room they loved, they put off what they knew needed to be done. Finally, when the colors of their old kitchen started coming back, they decided it was time for action and that's when they called Gittleman. • Gift Baskets • Soups • • Muffins • Sweet Trays • • Cookies • $ 1 00 "When we saw what they came up with, we said This is it!" recalled Steve. "Their creativity spurred us on." Down came the walls that enclosed a butler's pantry, divided the kitchen and separated it from the house. Gone are the pale blue tiles of a different era, replaced by a state of the art galley kitchen glistening with new cabinetry and a show-stopping angled peninsula ideal for gathering around by guests or grown children home for a visit.

We like having a large dining room," said Steve. "And we still have one." So next time you're reluctant to start a job that needs doing, you can see what happily ever after looks like before you begin, when you begin with a call to Gittleman.

Following the movie, the students wanted to do some- thing to recognize the hard work of area firefighters. The suggestion was to provide Thanksgiving dinner for four local fire- houses. Youth Director Denise Goodman lined up willing parents to offer the use of their kitchen. Rabbi David Castiglione wrote a letter to Kroger stating the nature of the project, and the supermarket agreed to sell them the turkeys and trimmings at cost. The Junior Youth Group, joined by members of the Young People's Society, met at separate homes on the eve of Thanksgiving and cooked, wrapped and delivered 40 dinners to fire houses in West Bloomfield, Franklin and Bloomfield Hills. A trip to see Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat in October led to a collection of 147 coats for children involved with Orchards Children's Services in Southfield. The students' next project is cooking and serving a holiday dinner Dec. 25 at the Baldwin Soup Kitchen in Pontiac.
