scar Beckerman of Laguna
Woods, Calif., formerly of
Southfield, recently celebrated
his 95th birthday with a beautiful evening
of dinner and dancing hosted by his lovely
wife, Alma, and his children, Karen and Wil
Weiner of Laguna Woods, Roslyn and Bruce
Moore of Menocino, Calif., Arnold and Lynn
Beckerman of West Bloomfield. Oscar's
seven grandchildren and their spouses as
well as eight great-grandchildren attended
with other family members and friends.
On Sunday, March 18, the Detroit Red Wings Alumni will take the ice at
Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth against the Oakland County Public Safety
All-Stars, a team of police and fire officers.
The game will benefit Mentor Connection, a mentoring program of Jewish
Family Service (JFS). •
-
The game begins at 4:30 p.m. and tickets are $10 per person in advance or $12
at the door. The evening also includes a clinic for children at 3:30 p.m. and a din-
ner reception with the Red Wings Alumni afterwards at Ginopolis Restaurant in
Farmington Hills. Tickets for the clinic are $10 and $15 for the dinner.
The hockey game is a "friend-raiser" for Mentor Connection, with a goal of
increased awareness of the program while recruiting new mentors.
Mentor Connection brings together young people from across Oakland County
who can benefit from encouragement and attention from caring adults who can
provide that support through structured mentoring relationships.
The program is funded by a 2004 three-year federal grant from the
Department of Education — the only one given to a Jewish agency in the U.S.
However, funding will end this October.
"There is a large need and desire for mentoring services, with a large gap in
service explained Michelle Malamis of JFS. "For the past two years, we have cre-
ated more than two dozen community partners, served 98 children in 2006 and
created after-school programs in four schools. We really need the community's
support now"
