Super Sunday Jan. 21
The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit will hold its annual Super
Sunday phonathon 9:30 a.m. to 1:30
p.m. Sunday, Jan. 21, at the Max M.
Fisher Federation Building, Bloomfield
Township.
Volunteers will raise funds to ben-
efit the Jewish community's health,
educational, social and cultural ser-
vices and programs.
Federation supports 19 local agen-
cies, ranging from Jewish Family
Service, JVS, Jewish Home and
Apartment Services, the Jewish
Community Center, Jewish day
schools, Hillels on college campuses
and Tamarack Camps. Overseas,
Federation funding impacts thou-
sands of Jewish lives in Israel, in the
former Soviet Union and elsewhere.
Nancy Grosfeld, who co-chairs
Federation's fundraising effort with
Lawrence Lax, said, "The bombing
in Israel has stopped, but we are still
challenged to keep the momentum
going on behalf of thousands in need,
particularly among vulnerable popula-
tions in Federation's Partnership 2000
region of the Central Galilee in the
north."
Volunteers on Super Sunday will
ask for pledges to Federation and the
Israel Emergency Fund. Gifts to the
IEF will be matched dollar-for-dollar
through the Marvin and Betty Danto
Family Israel Emergency Challenge
Fund.
Super Sunday is supported by
the DaimlerChyrsler Corporation
Fund. Co-chairs of the event are:
Jordan Glass, Jodi Goodman, Michael
Hauser, Baylee Shulman and Sheldon
Stern.
