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" For information or to purchase tickets, call Lindsay Leder, 248-592-2309, or e- mail lleder@jfsdetroit.org .
