All proceeds from the raffle will be used to fund programs for children and adults with developmental dis- abilities at the Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit, JARC, JVS and Friendship Circle. The raffle offers great possibilities for those who do buy a ticket. This year's prizes include the Suite of Suites (use of private suites at the University of Michigan, the Palace of Auburn Hills, Ford Field, Comerica Park and the Joe Louis Arena); a one-week vacation in a two-bedroom condo at a Four Seasons Resort in La Costa, Calif., including roundtrip airfare for two; and a $500 shopping spree at Great Lakes Crossing. Last year marked the first time the agencies worked together on the fund- raising project. "We were facing a downward spiral- ing economy that all not-for-profits had to reckon with, and we needed to think creatively," said Rick Loewenstein, chief executive officer of JARC. "We sat at the table with the execs and development staffs of the four agencies, which share our passion for providing services for people with developmental disabilities. Everyone got along extreme- ly well. And each agency netted more than $6,000 in raffle proceeds. Beth Ahm Visiting Scholar Focuses On Role Of Women Dr. Rebecca Schorsch, chair of the Bible Department at the Chicagoland Jewish High School in Deerfield, Ill., will be teaching at Congregation Beth Ahm as Scholar in Residence over Shabbat March 11-12. Her subject will be the role of women and gender in Jewish life and imagina- tion. All are wel- come. On Friday night, Rebecca following 6 p.m. Schorsch services and a 7 p.m. congregational dinner (see cost and RSVP information below), "It was a no-brainer to go for Super Raffle IL" "The raffle is a fun way for people to help raise critical funds to support services for children and adults with developmental disabilities," added JVS CEO Barbara Nurenberg. "Our com- mon goal is enhancing their quality of life and their community inclusion. We all focus on different aspects, but whether it is camping, employment, housing, social activities or support services, we share this common pas- sion and goal:' Each ticket-selling team includes representatives of all four agencies. So far, Team Budaj, headed by JVS board member Jeff Budaj, is in the lead. "It is nice to have competition among the teams rather than among the agen- cies," he said. "All of us are striving together to make a difference in our community." Other team captains are Jason Ellis of the JCC, Suzan Curhan of the Friendship Circle and Lisa Pernick of JARC. Tickets for the Super Raffle cost $50 each or three for $100. They may be purchased at all of the participating agencies or at www.SuperRaffle.org . The drawing will be at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 6, at the JCC in West Bloomfield during the Kids All Together (KAT) event, a day of family fun to support children with special needs. Tickets may be purchased until the raffle. Li Schorsch will analyze the familiar text "Eishet Hayil" (Proverbs: 31) in a talk titled "Who is the Woman of Valor? A Study of a Friday Night Tradition." There is no charge for the after-dinner talk, where walk-ins are welcome. On Saturday afternoon following 9:30 a.m. services and a free congre- gational lunch, Schorsch will speak on "God as Midwife and Women as Saviors: The Feminization of the Exodus." There is no charge for the Shabbat afternoon learning session, and walk-ins are welcome. To make reservations for the Friday Shabbat dinner, call (248) 851-6880 by 4 p.m. March 9.
