Lauren Strager, 4, tries her luck at the
fishing pond as Spencer Slayalen, 2,
looks on. Both are from West
Bloomfield.

Randel heard one complaint from
parents: "I couldn't get my kids to
leave!"
This was the second annual
Hadassah Family Funfair, planned to
promote a feeling of community.
The FunFair features craft and
activity booths sponsored by local
institutions that serve families. Kids
could visit the West Bloomfield
Library and Oakland County Health
Department booths inside, but had
to trek outside for the fire truck
demonstrations by Farmington Hills
firefighters.
Children strung pasta jewelry from
Noodles & Co. and colored a meno-
rah picture at the Young Judaea
booth. Shalom Street, Yad Ezra and
Tamarack Camps were among the
booths sponsored by Jewish and
community organizations.
The FunFair raises funds for schol-
arships to Camp Young Judaea and
for summer-in-Israel programs, as
well as Israeli "Children at Risk," a
new Hadassah project.
The names of local donors were
written on colorful fish and dis-
played on the "Coral Mitzvah Reef"
created by artist Jamie Carrick.
For information about these proj-
ects or to help with planning the
next FunFair, call Greater Detroit
Chapter of Hadassah, (248) 683-
5030. ❑

Ten years ago, it was just a dream.
Today, Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor and
Grand Rapids are linked with the Israeli
communities of Nazareth Illit, Migdal
HaEmek and the Jezreel Valley in the
Central Galilee in ways that far surpass
the original vision.

Together, we have enriched lives through
countless people-to-people exchanges,
and engaged in meaningful projects.

Our shared sense of purpose and
commitment to common goals have
sustained our partnership and will
continue for years to come.
