"With generous support from the Jewish Women's Foundation, Paramount
Bank, the Kahn JCC and Between the Lines, along with many community spon-
sors including Conservative and Reform congregations, we had the opportunity
to put together an educational series that will benefit our entire community,
including Jewish people who happen to be gay, along with their family members
and friends:' said Slotkin.
"The Twice Blessed Speakers Series is intended for all who are interested in
opening their hearts and minds to those seeking a Jewish connection:' explained
Lee who, along with Slotkin and JGN President Judy Lewis of Southfield, spear-
headed the effort to bring the series from dream to reality.
Spotted in the crowd were Patti Aaron of Ann Arbor; Lisa Lis of
Farmington Hills; Maureen Bernard of Royal Oak; Susan Horowitz and
Jan Stevenson of Farmington; Beth Josephson and Elizabeth Janovic
of East Lansing; Steve and Michelle Passon of Commerce Township;
Helen Katz of Bloomfield Hills; Fern Ettinger, Nancy Josephson, Elaine
Schonberger, Henry Lee, Dennis and Peggy Frank and Gina Horwitz,
all of West Bloomfield. L

Mhen water seeped its way into the home of Sean and

V V Dianne Cook, the damage was so severe that the
kitchen and second floor bath needed to be completely
refurbished.

Sean, a lawyer, and Dianne, a teacher, are the parents of
two children and lead very active lives. They knew that
whom they chose to repair the damage to their home was
going to be an important decision.

"My wife and I are both very busy, and Gittleman said
they would take care of everything — from dealing with the
insurance company to dealing with the contractors — and
inconvenience us as little as possible in the process,"
noted Sean, adding that Gittleman did a great job of
notifying them in advance of any new developments.

Sean said he felt confident from the beginning that Gittleman could handle the size of the project.
"This was a big job that needed to be managed by someone. The rooms needed to be completely
gutted down to the studs. Gittleman did a great job of making sure it was done right."

Furthermore, Sean said he was impressed with Gittleman's service approach — so impressed that he
recommended them to others even before the project was complete. "When you call them, they call
you back. They were proactive with both communication and setting expectations."

So the next time Mother Nature decides to turn on you, turn to the people who will accommodate
your lifestyle. Turn to Gittleman.

JUST ASK THE COOKS.
