n Aug. 19, more than 600 guests flocked to Franklin Hills Country
Club for ORT's Annual Rub-a-Dub fundraiser, this year themed
"ORTourage." Doreen Hermelin of Bingham Farms was honored
for her 40-plus years of inspiring leadership and ongoing service to ORT.
This year also marked the 40th anniversary of Rub-a-Dub, which started
in the Hermelin home in 1975. In the spirit of the first Rub-a-Dub, guests
were given Instant Lottery Tickets, which they "rubbed off" after Doreen
was presented with the Rub-a-Dub Legacy Award. Any earnings from the
lottery tickets were donated back to ORT.
This year's event generated nearly $560,000, making it the most successful
Rub-a-Dub to date. ORT supporters enjoyed silent and live auctions, dinner,
music and socializing, all to support ORT's global network of schools, col-
leges, training centers and programs.
Event co-chairs were Matt Ran and Erica Kleiman, both of Bloomfield
Hills, and Bubba Urdan of West Bloomfield. *
