EASY DOES IT With his low-key, folksy style, Marty Kraar has managed to take control of the helm of the Federation here seemingly effortlessly. And that's a testament to his hard work and good sense. GARY ROSENBLATT Editor May 22, 1987 At the recent dosing meeting of the record-breaking allied Jewish Campaign, co- chairman Paul D. Borman paid tribute to Marty Kraar, who has been executive vice president of the Federation since September, by noting that "he has fit in just like a glove." An accurate observation that says a good deal about Kraar's deceptively low ,- key style. Deceptive in the sense that despite his laid-back Southern manner, he is probably two steps ahead of you, whether it's planning a strategy or anticipating a question. AT YOUR SERVICE Your Dateline makes meeting people to date a whole lot easier June 19, 1987 Their slogan is, "When you are not looking, we are!" No, it's not another personal shopper or real estate agency; it's an introduction service called Your Dateline. Operated by Lois Fishman and Marilyn Hoskow, both of West Bloomfield, Your Dateline offers clients a chance to meet a minimum of three potential dates in one year, although the aim is to find a client "as many introductions as possible." Open to the general community — although Fishman and Hoskow decline to fix up Jews and non-Jews — Your Dateline has as one of its goals taking the stress out of meeting people to date.

Yad Ezra ("helping hand" in Hebrew) opened its doors in 1990 to provide supplemental kosher food packages to needy Jewish families in southeastern Michigan. Yad Ezra was founded to address this vulnerable population in need of continuous food assistance and to provide basic food staples to any hungry indi- vidual at least one time, regardless of religious affiliation, who comes for help. The food pantry currently has about 1,500 families on its active roles entitled to free food, household cleaning and toiletry items every month. Yad Ezra, an independent organi- zation, distributed almost 900,000 pounds of free groceries in 2011, paid for with a budget of $1.3 mil- lion. Yad Ezra's small staff relies on a corps of 150 regular volunteers, board members, donors and advo- cates to execute its mission.
