some of the suggestions are just now
being circulated." But he believes there
will be some resolution — "for better
or for worse" — soon.

JFMD an opportunity "to see where
other communities are on this issue'

2004 the UJC voted to expel the United
Jewish Federation of Tidewater, Va., for
failing to pay its dues. The expulsion
was rescinded when Tidewater's board
voted to pay.
The Jewish Federation of Palm
Beach County, Fla., this year asked
UJC to lower its dues because of high
operating costs for its communal cam-
pus. Its representatives will also be at
the Dec. 17 meeting.
by the men's locker rooms.
The project, overseen by Honeywell,
is updating JPM's water, electrical, and
heating and cooling systems and will
continue through May. JPM was built
in the 1950s and the project is being
funded by the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit.
Magidson said JPM is getting new
energy-efficient lighting and shut-off
sensors, automatic faucets, a seven-
zone heating and cooling system with
more controls for individual rooms
and new boilers. The east (main)
entrance was widened to reduce the
exchange of air when the doors open.
Honeywell reportedly has guaran-
teed the energy savings generated by
the project.

on Dec. 19.
As a graduate of Oberlin College in
Ohio with majors in vocal and math,
she appreciates great vocal perfor-
mances.
She contacted Russian-born mezzo-
soprano Irina Mishura and asked if
she'd perform on her birthday, with
donations going to Detroit's Coalition
on Temporary Shelter (COTS).
COTS has been operating for 25
years, providing a spectrum of servic-
es designed to re-establish homeless
men, women and children as viable
members of the community.
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19,
Mishura will perform in the school's
Seligman Performing Arts Center in
Beverly Hills and will hold a master
class earlier that afternoon.
Tickets for the concert are $30 for
adults and $15 for students and can be
obtained by calling DCDS, (248) 646-
7717 ext. 1300.
There will be birthday cake for
all and an opportunity to help the
homeless by donating to the COTS.
Starting at $3999.
