Gifts For Children
Thanks to the generosity of the Etkin
Family Holiday Endowment Fund
and Yad Ezra volunteers, Helen Etkin,
Addie Levine and Harvey Goldstein,
600 age-and-gender appropriate gifts
are being distributed to children of cli-
ent families.
According to Etkin, the fund was
"created as a way of remembering Ben
(her father) and the joy he had in giv-
ing gifts." Children's novels, drawing
pads, markers, coloring pencils, cray-
ons and craft projects are being orga-
nized and bagged by a crew of volun-
teers. A gift certificate from Meijer's,
a donation of Crayola products and
some individual donors' contributions
helped fund the project, which will be
distributed to the children in time for
Chanukah.
Other families have stepped forward
as well to donate other gifts that Yad
Ezra will hand out.
In addition, Yad Ezra client fami-
lies will receive a special Chanukah
package this year thanks to the
annual appeal that raises funds so
that everyone in our community can
celebrate the holiday. This year, client
families are receiving the traditional
fare (lathes and applesauce, candles
and chocolate gelt) along with salamis,
mustard, pickles and bread.
Yad Ezra, a Berkley-based indepen-
dent organization, receives no fed-
eral or state funding. The 501 (c) (3)
agency relies on the generosity of indi-
viduals, businesses and groups in the
community to provide the funds nec-
essary to distribute more than 800,000
pounds of free groceries every year.
Addie Levine of Farmington Hills dis-
plays gift contributions.

and Ladies Auxiliary will board a

Link Wachler present award to
"Marley and Me" author John
Grogan.
Jeweled Honors
Michigan jewelry designer Link
Wachler recently honored Marley and
Me author John Grogan at the Fifth
Annual Wags to Whiskers fundraiser.
The event benefits Home for Life, a
Minneapolis-based animal sanctuary.
Wachler, co-owner of Wachler
Ultimate Expression, presented
Grogan with a commemorative plaque
and bracelet. Grogan was selected for
the honor for bringing attention to
Home for Life
(www.homeforlife.org).
Last year, Wachler made a presen-
tation to Cesar Milian of National
Geographic's "The Dog Whisperer:'
"It's important to honor individu-
als who bring awareness to such a
moving organization. Our LifeLinks
line of jewelry fits in with the values
associated with Home for Life," said
Wachler, who designed both Millan's
and Grogan's plaques and bracelets.
LifeLinks (www.ultexp.com ), a
motivational line of interchangeable
jewelry that links the wearer to his/her
significant life values, was created
by Wachler and his brother, Glenn
Wachler. The product is available in
stores and from LifeLink representa-
tives. Distributors include Stuller.
