have always been involved in education and strongly believe in
ssisting in children's educational needs. This is why, when I was
asked to participate in Hillel Day School's "Give/Get" program, I
was happy to agree. Beginning immediately I will be a "Give/Get"
vendor. If this applies to your child or when selecting an orthodon-
tist, please call our office at 248-926-4100 for more information

Professionals in the community have certain civic obligations that
if the professional takes a true interest, it can be a pleasure and
rewarding. Education is our future and to be able to assist in a child's
educational development is an honor. With our states current fiscal
hardship and residents financial difficulties, I want to be able to place
an emphasis where it belongs, education.
