The program began as a one-time call for donations of gently used men's clothing by Shirt Box owners Ron Elkus and Rod Brown. The need was so great, the Shirt Box agreed to con- tinue to serve as a drop-off center. "The Shirts Off Our Back: From Our Closet to Yours" initiative, which began as a partnership in March 2008, encourages the donation of used men's business apparel, including dress shirts, slacks, ties and sports coats to help NSO's clients dress for success when applying for new jobs and making the transition back into the workforce. Similar programs for women already exist, but not one for men. The approximately 1,000-square- foot store in the Michigan Building in downtown Detroit near the NSO offic- es is staffed by NSO volunteers and open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays. Sheilah Clay, NSO's president and CEO, said, "Making a good impression during an interview is critical for any- one applying for a job. Our affiliation with the Shirt Box has been very ben- eficial as we work with those looking to regain the self-confidence needed to find and keep jobs in today's mar- ketplace." Senior Life Leadership The Jewish Senior Life of Metropolitan Detroit will hold its first installation on Wednesday, June 17, at 5 p.m. at the Norma Jean and Edward Meer Jewish Apartments, on the Eugene and Marcia Applebaum Jewish Community Campus in West Bloomfield, Maple and Drake. Nancy Grosfeld, president, Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, will deliver greetings. The installing officers will be Marvin Fleischman and Mark Schlussel. The slate of Jewish Senior Life of Metropolitan Detroit officers and board members includes: Frederick John, homeless for 10 years, found his interview wardrobe among gen- tly used menswear at this Detroit shop that's a partnership between Detroit's Neighborhood Service Organization and the Shirt Box in Farmington Hills. The free clothes helped him look professional and land a job. Explained Elkus, "In today's econo- my, individuals looking for work need all the support possible. It is heart- warming to know that our customers and friends are making a real differ- ence." Donations of gently used goods can still be made at the Shirt Box, 32500 Northwestern Highway, Farmington Hills. ❑ Blechman, president; Jeffrey Fleischman, vice president; Nancy Siegel Heinrich, vice president; Leo Eisenberg, secretary; Mark Davidoff, treasurer; Neil Gorosh, member at large; Cindy Schwartz, member at large; Sandy Muskovitz Danto, Susan Harold, Mark Hauser, Lee Hurwitz, Mark Kowalsky, Lea Luge, Robert Naftaly, Lowell Salesin, Eli A.
