Grateful Congregation

Bais Chabad picnic gives special salute to West Bloomfield Police Department.

O

n July 31, on a beautiful, sunny Sunday
morning, hundreds of people enjoyed
themselves at the 24th annual picnic
and boating event of the Tugman Bais Chabad
Torah Center, which took place at the lakeshore
residence of Marty and Dale Goodman.
This year’s celebration was unique as there
was a special ceremony honoring the West
Bloomfield Police Force for their selfless ser-
vice to the West Bloomfield community and its
houses of worship.
Rabbis Elimelech and Shneur Silberberg and
Marty Goodman addressed the crowd, each
expressing their feelings of gratitude to these
civil servants who put themselves in harm’s way.
Police Officers Rick Trabulsy and David
McNealy III, and Recruit Police Officer Phil
Pacheco represented the police force and
accepted a special plaque from the congrega-
tion.
The officers expressed their heartfelt
thanks for the recognition and mentioned
how this event was especially appreciated
considering recent events taking place
around the country.
