"We are honoring Glenn and Kim Liebowitz for their exemplary commit- ment and extraordinary generosity to our congregation:' said Judy Greenwald, co- chair of the Gala. The Liebowitzes joined the temple in 1984 and subsequently raised four daughters, Miranda, Lauren, Danielle and Karen, in religious school from kinder- garten through graduation. The couple participated in and served temple orga- nizations from the PTO to the board of trustees. "Kim was Sisterhood president at the same time that Glenn was temple president;' Greenwald said. Glenn was recruited to the board in 1993 and became treasurer in 1994, vice president in 1995-1997 and president from 1997-1999. He participated in Temple's Fund for Life in 1995-98 and co-chaired the Lech Lecha Endowment Campaign in 2000-2004 with Elaine C. Driker and Donald Cohen. "When Kim and I were a young mar- ried couple, we were looking for a temple where we could raise our family, provide them with a good Jewish education and get to know other families in our corn- munity',' Glenn said. "We were invited to Temple Emanu-FI by Barb and Doug Kellerman. From the very first interac- tion, we felt Emanu-El was a 'people insti- tution:We found temple members and the clergy to be warm, welcoming and down-to-earth:' When it comes to giving money for the Gary Burnstein Health Clinic Event Features Golf, Games The ninth annual Gary Burnstein Golf Classic and Games Day will begin at 11:30 a.m. Monday, June 11, at Tam-0- Shanter Country Club, 5051 Orchard Lake Road, West Bloomfield.

Kim and Glenn Liebowitz temple's future, Glenn said it this way: "While participating in Temple fundrais- ing, I asked people for money, a lot of money. Ifs hard when people say no, but very rewarding when they say yes. While we were involved in temple fundraising, my business was taking off. We were able to contribute in a meaningful way. "I hope that by example when I say yes, other people are thinking, 'Well, this guy is doing it, so maybe I can, too. They say you don't teach your kids by telling them — you teach by showing them'.' Glenn said when he contributes he remembers his father and his grandfa- ther. "Temple Emanu-El has had a signifi- cant impact on our Oak Park community during our 60 years on 10 Mile Road': Klein said. "The only Reform synagogue in this 'first-ring suburb' of Detroit, we are a vibrant and active liberal Jewish pres- ence that serves not only our immediate neighborhood, but also Jews throughout Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties. "We are most fortunate to have had dedicated and devoted leaders like Glenn and Kim Liebowitz who have carried us throughout our first 60 years: ❑ Garden Party Benefit To Fight Leukemia "The Garden Party" is a benefit for the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan and the Oakland Community College Culinary Studies Institute and will be held 1-4 p.m. Sunday, June 10, at Meadow Brook Hall, on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester.
