Dr. Forman received Karmanos'
Partners honor in 1995, making him
the first person ever to receive this rec-
ognition twice.
Dr. Forman is a recognized expert
in prostate cancer. He has served
as medical director for Karmanos

Century Oncology at Karmanos' eight
sites in southeast Michigan and is on

JNF Honors 3 Couples
Jewish National Fund will honor three
couples that embody JNF's mission,
"As the caretaker of the land of Israel,
on behalf of its owners — Jewish
people everywhere."
Hannan and Lisa Lis, Bruce Israel
and Lisa Pernick and Col. (Res.) Kami
and Vardina Robinson will receive the
Tree of Life Award at JNF's Tribute and
Farewell Dinner Thursday, Sept. 6, at
6:30 p.m., at Congregation Shaarey
Zedek Southfield (black-tie optional).
Former Israel Ambassador to the
United Nations Dore Gold will speak.
An auction will feature art created
by Israeli artist Jacob Agam. Dinner
chairs are Jim and Marge Hiller.
Proceeds from the evening will
help rebuild northern Israel by con-
structing a visitor's center in the Hula
Valley. The Robinson-Hiller Visitor's
Center will provide economic develop-
ment opportunities for northern Israel
by increasing the number of visitors
and attracting international tourists to
the area; as the Hula Valley in Israel's
Galilee has become one of the main
migratory spots for birds enroute
between Europe and Africa.
Ticket cost is $250; $150 is tax-
deductible. Call (248) 324-3080 by
Aug. 24 to RSVP. Also inquire about
the benefits of sponsoring the dinner.
Hannan Lis is outgoing president of
JNF's Michigan Region. He serves on
JNF's national board and is chief oper-
ating officer of the Farmington Hills-
based Weight Watchers Group. Bruce
Israel is immediate past president of
JNF's Michigan Region. He is president
of ASI–Asphalt Specialists Inc.
For the last four years, Col. Robinson
has been JNF's Israel Emissary to the
Midwest. He returns to Israel in the fall.
Ambassador Gold is president of the
Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. He
was the 11th permanent representative
of Israel to the U.N. (1997-1999) and
served as foreign policy adviser to
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
