The board presented a check and letter of endorsement in support of the building of the Michigan WWII Legacy Memorial to be located in Royal Oak's Memorial Park. The Michigan WWII Legacy Memorial will be a year-round destination loca- tion that will honor those Michigan veterans who served on the war front and the dedicated citizens of Michigan who worked tirelessly on the home front. The memorial will include land, air and sea scenes highlighted by full-size statues depicting the war front and home front; a Walk of Honor with donated brick pavers; and an interactive map of Michigan that will highlight our state's con- tributions of war time goods and services. Memorial board president Debi Hollis and board member Alan Muskovitz accepted the check and Hadassah Slates Women's Heart Health Symposium Hadassah Greater Detroit will hold a "Heart-Throbbing Woman's Heart Health Symposium" on Thursday, May 28, 10 a.m.-2:15 p.m. at the Birmingham Community House, 380 S. Bates. Heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined. Women's heart attack symptoms differ from men's. Research focuses mostly on the physiology of men, and women are harder to diagnose. These issues will be addressed by keynote speakers Pam Marcovitz, M.D., director of the Ministrelli Women's Heart Center at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, and Shalini Modi, M.D., service chief of cardiology at Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital. endorsement from Lawrence Berry, Commander, Jewish War Veterans Department of Michigan.

In a separate JWV meeting, Berry, with fellow officers and Shirley Marshall from the Women's Auxiliary, presented a check to the Vietnam Veterans of America, Detroit Chapter 9, who are working with the Veterans Memorial Park of Detroit Inc. on an ambitious memo- rial to honor all veterans, not just those who served in the Vietnam era. Its mission is to create as many as 25 individual stations in the heart of Detroit, each representing a specific U.S. military campaign involving Detroit-area military personnel. The Veterans Memorial Park of Detroit Inc committee is in active negotiations to secure a final site for the memorial. Al Opra, VMPoD president and VVA Detroit Chapter 9 President Paul Palazzolo, accepted the check on behalf of the project. For information, contact Mike Sand at 1968vet@gmail.com. The program will be moderated by Rhonda Walker of WDIV-TV. Attendees will learn the warning signs of heart disease for women, new CPR techniques, how to use a defibril- lator and the proven merits of mindful thinking. Julie Feldman, registered dietician and author, will connect healthy food choices to the prevention of heart disease. A heart- healthy lunch will be served. An optional pre-registration walk at 9:15 a.m. and pop-up exercises will illustrate how easy it is to incorpo- rate movement into everyday lives. The cost is $45.
