Lawn Art

A

bout a month ago, Susie 
Fenster, a member of Temple 
Israel, began a lawn sign 
fundraiser to raise money for local 
food banks and bring art to the 
streets of her West Bloomfield neigh-
borhood. 
Fenster, furloughed from her job 
as a social worker Tender Heart 
Therapeutic Arts and Crafts, pur-
chased lawn signs from a company 
she orders through for her job. 
She went into her neighborhood 
Facebook page and asked if anyone 
would be interested in purchasing a 
sign and received a great response. 
Her neighbors simply message 
her on Facebook, pay the $10 and 
arrange to receive the sign. They 
decorate them however they please. 
“Some people are having their kids 
write and decorate them, and they 
turn out so adorable,” Fenster said. 
“Some are taking it to the next level 
and are doing a real artsy picture. 
My family is doing jokes and riddles 
on our signs.” 
So far, she has dropped off 70 
signs and donated $545 to local 
food banks. “This initiative is giving 
people something to do during this 
time. It has been very rewarding for 
me but even more significant for the 
people who need the help.” 

To purchase a sign, email Susie Fesnter at 
rexweiss@gmail.com.
