Robert Aronson,
Federation CEO,
said, "The Berman
Theatre will be
a great addition
both to the cultural
scene of our Jewish
community as well
Robert Aronson
as the social scene.
We'll have a beautiful new facility
where the community can meet,
and we'll have a legitimate theater
that will significantly add to our
cultural offerings.
"I can't think of a more fitting
name that represents the best of our
community than Bill and Madge
Berman;' Aronson added. "They
have really dedicated their lives
to this Jewish community and the
cultural scene in our community.
Madge, especially, has served on
many boards both locally and
nationally. It's won-
derful to see them
make this kind of
gift to make this
happen in Detroit
and also to make
Detroit more of a
destination com-
munity because we
Nancy Grosfeld
have this theater"
Nancy Grosfeld,
Federation president, said, "After
decades of leadership and support,
Bill and Madge Berman continue to
give. The Berman Theatre will be
a jewel in the crown of our Jewish
community's rich cultural heritage."
Norman Pappas, United Jewish
Foundation of Metropolitan Detroit
president, added, "Bill himself
has been one of the staunchest
Federation and community support-
ers, with due credit
to Madge. We've
been lucky that he's
had all these years to
give his leadership
as well as financial
commitment. He's
a role model that
all future commu-

nity leaders should
ascribe to:' 1
