Attracting Leaders

ADL educates young adults about its leadership opportunities.

M

ore than 25 young adults gath-
ered for an evening of network-
ing and learning about the
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) June 25
at the home of Robin and Gary Wine in
Orchard Lake.
Chaired by the current Sills Family/
Glass Leadership Institute (SGLI) co-
chairs Todd Kroll and Charles Russman
and incoming chairs Matt Bertman
and Kevin Eaton, the evening attracted
graduating members of the leadership
institute as well as potential members for
next year's class.
SGLI is a 10-month immersion pro-
gram that meets monthly to educate
young leaders about the civil rights, edu-
cation, legislative advocacy and interfaith
work of the ADL.
Attendees were thrilled to visit with
local and national community leader
Robert Naftaly, who shared his journey
from attending a similar meeting as a
young leader to serving as national trea-
surer for ADL for more than 25 years.
ADL is accepting applications for
the next Sills Family/Glass Leadership
Institute through July 31. Interested lead-
ers aged 25-40 can contact Jaimee Wine
at jwine@adl.org . ❑

Art And Insight

A

rt is often used to interpret
works of literature and his-
torical events, as it provides
an added dimension that helps people
connect to the subject matter. The
Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman
Family Campus offered "The Anne Frank
Door Project" with seventh-grade camp-
ers at Tamarack Camps' Camp Maas in
Ortonville on June 28.
This event will be hosted for teens of
all ages from 2:30-4 p.m. Thursday, July
25, at the Oak Park Library. For details,
call the HMC at (248) 553-2400.

Tamarack campers participate in HMC's "Anne Frank Door Project."

ported by the Michigan Humanities
Foundation, Community Foundation
for Southeast Michigan and DeRoy
Testamentary Foundation, uses the door
as a metaphor for expression of one's
fears, hopes and dreams.
HMC staff led discussions about
Anne Frank's life and how she saw the
world through the eyes of a teenager.
Participants decorated a miniature door
that opens to a photo of themselves and
their written words. Copies of Anne
Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl and
guiding questions for family discussion
were made available to all.
