For the first time, a Walk, Run & Roll kicked off the action. Also new was Joey and Tammy Jonna’s Challenge Zone that offered basketball, football and radar pitch baseball. Other members of cochairs Rhonda Adams and Tom MacLean’s leadership crew included Amy and Mark Carroll, Marta Hoerger and Julia Furtaw and Gabe and Rene Zawaideh.

Cruisin’ to Drive Out Hunger The 14th annual Dream Cruise preview party hosted by Westborn Market’s Anusbigian family at their Berkley market attracted nearly 700 supporters ($150 ticket) of Forgotten Harvest’s emergency food programs. Music by Charles and Gwen Scales accompanied the unexcelled view of the cars cruising Woodward, a silent auction and the endless supply of comestibles. It featured Westborn’s own bountiful appetizer display. Valet parking and comfortable seating at lounges in the tent and at tables on the market terrace added considerable appeal to this event. Thanks also to generous sponsors, the happening event raised nearly $200,000.

Trends for Teens Recognition Cranbrook Kingswood’s Emily Prokop and Marian High School’s Eliana Margherio received another award to go with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award they got last year. On Aug. 30 they were recognized as Youth Volunteers of the Year by Governor Rick Snyder and the Michigan Community Service Foundation at a special ceremony which attracted hundreds to the historic Temple Theatre in Saginaw. They were recognized for starting and growing Trends for Teens. The teen-led and teen-run organization created and stocks “stores” at which students can shop with “Bonus Bucks” they earn when they achieve goals they have set with the help of counselors. By setting goals and working hard to achieve them, teens build selfesteem and learn skills that will last them a lifetime. Since its inception, Trends for Teens has helped more than 500 teenagers achieve more than 1,000 goals. During the past year alone, Eliana and Emily have redistributed more than $20,000 worth of clothing. In all, 30, statewide awards were presented at the ceremony.
