Fountains At Franklin Hosts
Fundraiser For Alzheimer's
On Wednesday, June 20, from lla.m.-3
p.m., the Fountains at Franklin, 28301
Franklin Road, Southfield, will take part
in the Longest Day fundraiser to benefit
the Alzheimer's Association.
The event will feature a farmer's
market and bake sale, outdoor stroll,
dancing, hole-in-one contest, raffle and
more. Donations of goods, services and
funds are welcome.
"Every 69 seconds someone in this
country develops Alzheimer's and one
in eight older adults already have it,
said Dotty Burgess, resident care direc-
tor for the Fountains at Franklin. "We're
joining forces with others throughout
the northern hemisphere to do what-
ever we can on the longest day of the
year to fight this disease'
Unlike other top 10 killers like heart
disease and cancer, Alzheimer's disease
cannot be prevented and it cannot be
cured. Funds raised go to further the
care, support and research efforts of the
Alzheimer's Association. For informa-
tion on the event, call (248) 353-2810.

Gay Orthodox Group
Plans Michigan Retreat
Eshel, a national organization serving
the needs of Jewish lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender (LGBT) traditional
Jews, is sponsoring its first-ever Midwest
retreat on July 5.
The retreat site, Ronora Lodge and
Retreat Center, is north of Watervliet,
Mich., in Berrien County.
Eshel works to create a place within
mainstream Orthodoxy for LGBT Jews
through education and awareness. Eshel
also helps LGBT Jews maintain their
Jewish observance and find meaningful
religious community by creating models
for integrating their seemingly con-
tradictory religious and sexual/gender
identities through community-building
retreats, advocacy, media watch and
response, and parent and family groups.
Eshel is also a home for those who
are formerly Orthodox, "Orthodox-
curious" or anyone interested in being
in a traditional Jewish setting as a
LGBT Jew.
The retreat will provide a variety of
