Math Competitors ... Students from Berkeley
Preparatory School competed in the 17th annual National
Math Convention in Seattle, Washington recently. There
were 116 students from 13 Florida high school at the con-
vention, and Florida placed third! Some of the math whiz
kids from Berkeley include: David Fleischer, son of Bar-
bara and Frank Fleischer; Josh Kreitzer, son of Dr.
Stephen and Laura Kreitzer; and Mike Stein, son of
Leonore and Frank Stein. You have excelled for your
school and your community and the state of Florida!
Lights, Action, Camera For all of you couch
potatoes and game show enthusiasts, hopefully you tuned
in today to "Sale of the Century" because Bev Yeshion
was a contestant! In case you missed it, she's on again Mon-
day morning and is the big winner again! Without giving
anything else away, Bev does go up to the winner's board
and comes home with some great prizes. And the word
from Bev is that it certainly isn't as easy as it is when you
watch from home. Besides, a week's worth of shows are
taped in part of one day, with short breaks in between.
Still, Bev is very pleased with the results and husband Ted,
and children Sarah and Mikey are very proud! Congratula-
tions! Hooray for Hollywood!
Graduating with Honors Allison Hilf, daughter of
Elaine Simms of Tampa, and Dr. Paul Hilf of Miami
Beach, recently graduated from Oberlin College with a dou-
ble major in economics and government. She received the
Comfort Starr prizes in economics and government, the
Hanson prize in economics for 1986-87 and was the Oberlin
representative at the student conferences at West Point.
Allison is the granddaughter of Lee and Lou Simovitz of
Tampa. Doubly impressive!
How many candles did you say? Can you believe this
one? Shirley Davis has turned the big 5. .0. .! A surprise
party was given in Shirley's honor at the Rusty Pelican's
grand ballroom. Hosting the special event were husband,
Larry Davis, and the couple's children: Debbie and Ron
Hite, from Springfield, 111. and their children, Erica and
Joshua; Rene and Gary LeStrange, from Tampa; and
Rodney Davis, also from Tampa. Adding to the celebration
were out-of-town guests: Shirley's mother, Frances
Gelbsman, from Boca Raton; Shirley's sister, Joan Slavit,
from Middletown, New Jersey; and Shirley's brother and
sister-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Howard, from Oneonta, New
York. Many more happy birthdays and special occasions to
you!
All about Jennifer ... Over the summer, Jennifer
Kalish was chosen by high school coaches to the first all-
state senior softball team. Out of 30 girls on the squad, Jen-
nifer was the only girl chosen first string from Tampa, St.
Petersburg, and Clearwater! The tournament was held in
Brooksville. Jennifer, daughter of Patty and Bill Kalish,
is a freshman at the University of Florida and has become a
pledge of Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority. Goooooo Gators!
The Stork certainly has been busy in Tampa ... One
very special delivery the stork made recently was to elated
and ecstatic Francine and Dennis LeVine. Ari Joseph
LeVine was greeted enthusiastically by grandparents
Francine and Brace LeVine, of Tampa, and Clarence and
Christiane Straka, of Parma, Ohio. Great-grandparents of
this precious baby are Dr. Howard and Edith LeVine, of
Chicago; and Great grandmother Germaine Monseu, of
Parma. There are lots of Aunts, Uncles, and cousins in
Tampa, and many were on hand at the bris, which was
hosted by proud parents Francine and Dennis, and grand-
parents Francine and Bruce LeVine. Rabbi Berger and
Cantor Hauben officiated.
Mazel Tov ... Holly and Ira Marx are thrilled to an-
nounce the birth of Judith Dyan, born August 28, weighing
6 lbs. 13 oz. and 19V* inches long. Big sister, Alaine is 2Vz

Marx, and Pearl and Louis Falkenstein, and great-
grandmother Rose Anker of New York.
Congratulations and a big welcome to Margo

L. Mark Carron, President Of
Young Adult Division
Imagine a young, articulate
young man, who not only ex-
cells in his profession, but who
also has a strong drive to
enhance the quality of Jewish
life in Tampa. Imagine a man
who, in addition to being an ar-
dent athlete is involved in
numerous volunteer activities
including the Performing
Arts, works many long hours,
and is still making a commit-
ment to the Young Adult Divi-
sion. If you thought about it
for a second, you could think of
no one else but L. Mark Car-
ron, president of the Young
Adult Division.
Mark has been involved with
the Young Adult Division since
its inception and has been a
driving force in building YAD
into a strong division over the
past few years. He was cam-
paign vice president 1985-86,
and he was program vice presi-
dent 1986-87. Under Mark's

Mark Carron
leadership YAD raised
$10,000 and the organization
made great strides towards
becoming a strong campaign
division. Mark is dedicated
towards making YAD an in-
tegrated program and cam-
paign division.
"The Young Adult Division
is one of the major driving
forces in Tampa," commented
Carron. "Without YAD, young
Jewish people would have
limited avenues for exhibiting
their commitment to Jewish
values and traditions. As this
year's President, I encourage
anyone who is interested in
learning more about YAD to
call me or the Federation or at-
tend any of our informative
programs. Eighty percent of
our events are non-solicitation
activities and I personally in-
vite you to get involved."

the Young Adult Division, call
