ith the closing of the Jewish
Community Center in Oak
Park coming Aug. 31, the JCC
held its last — and largest — flea market
Aug. 9-11. As always, the proceeds were
donated to JARC, the social services agen-
cy in Farmington Hills that helps develop-
mentally delayed individuals.
Organizer Harriet Gelfond, an art
teacher at the Oak Park JCC for more
than 46 years, said the larger-than-usual
display of merchandise was due to putting
out "everything we had stored up in the
art room" from previous sales. Her flea
markets were always held periodically and
usually advertised by word of mouth, giv-
ing her regular donors a chance to bring
unwanted items to find a new home.
"The first year we raised $5" Gelfond
said. "The most before this sale was
$2,800, two months ago"
Some of the longtime helpers at the
flea market were Margaret Perinjian of
Birmingham, Barbara Rosen of West
Bloomfield, and Florence and Bernie
Schreier of Beverly Hills.
