Tuesday, Sept. 26th • 7:30 pm at the Max M. Fisher Music Cent Clients and staff enjoyed some lively baseball and volley ball games. We had some excellent hitters and some amazing fielding. This year's craft proj- ects included decorating clay pots and making personalized canvas tote bags. Clients used their tote bags to bring home some of their shopping treasures from Charlevoix. Our campfires are always an important part of our experience and this year was no exception. In addition to making Some-mores, we also had music at our bonfires. With Michael Trepeck, our Kadima social worker on guitar, David Barg on harmonica, and Joel Kaufman on trombone, we all got pleasure from some great jam sessions. We had an enjoyable time swimming and canoeing on Lake Charlevoix. Staff and clients did a speedy rescue when one of the boats tipped over. All the water-soaked participants had a good laugh, as well as, all of us watching from shore. We are indebted to our angels, Steve and Nancy Grand whose generosity make this trip possible every summer. All in all, it was a terrific experience.
