oyce Siegel was the only girl
in her Waverly, Iowa, school
to take algebra. She has man-
aged to subtract many of the world's
woes, multiply its blessings and add a
great deal to the world ever since.
Late last month, Siegel was one of
nine community members honored
with the United Way's Heart of Gold
Award, which recognizes outstand-
ing volunteers in Metro Detroit. The
honorees are "shining examples of the
caring spirit this region demonstrates
in creating a lasting impact on indi-
viduals and organizations in southeast
Michigan',' said Michael J. Brennan,
president and CEO of United Way for
Southeastern Michigan.
Siegel moved from Iowa to Detroit
in 1953, where she joined her sister.
She taught school for 37 years,"mar-
ried late" at 35 and is the mother to
three sons who live in London, France
and Boston.
Siegel began volunteering as a way
"to expand my horizons." When she
settled here she knew hardly anyone
and saw volunteering as a way to
make friends. Her first stop was the

(when not teaching), often bringing
along her youngest child.
Siegel has since taken on numerous
other volunteer projects, especially
with the National Council of Jewish
Women where, she says, she found
others who genuinely were committed
to, and loved, helping others. She has
been active in NCJW's Fashion Spree,
Bingo and programs for seniors.
"But really:' she says, "volunteering
has always done a lot more for me
than I ever did for it. I've met the fin-
est people through volunteering:'

When did your
volunteering begin?
"In Waverly, Iowa, I used to help feed
the elderly at the hospital and I was a
Girl Scout."

Do you volunteer for
Jewish or secular causes?

"I like volunteering for both the Jewish
and general community."
Among her favorite secular projects
is an NCJW program to provide back-
packs, filled with school supplies, for
children in need at schools throughout
Metro Detroit. Recently, this included
sending backpacks to Durfee Middle
School in Detroit, an especially memo-
