Medical Official Visits

A delegation from the Detroit Medical Center, led by President and Chief Executive Officer David Campbell, visited the Central Galilee in June to discuss prospective joint projects with the Emek Medical Center. A hospice program and a computer program for collecting medical data are among the projects being considered by the Partnership 2000 Steering Committee.

College Students to Work in Region

Two University of Michigan college students are in the Central Galilee this summer working on computer-related projects.

Ros Scaff, from the University of Michigan School of Architecture and Urban Planning, will work with volunteers who visited Michigan last year to help them develop a database of available jobs in the region. Susan Kane, from the U-M School of Information, will work with the educators who visited Michigan in April to do a survey of computer capabilities in the region's schools. She will make recommendations and lay the groundwork for the implementation of the Regional Communications Network - Galilyeda.

East Meets West for Musical Interlude

Seventeen Michigan teens and 21 of their counterparts from the Central Galilee will meet at the Ulpana--Israel Academy of Music in July at the Amakim Institute in the region. The Harriett Teitel Music Scholars, all of whom have played a musical instrument or studied voice for at least four years, will tour, study, perform and have opportunities to socialize.

Cultural Delegation to Arrive

July will see the arrival in Israel of a Michigan-based cultural committee, which will meet with heads of cultural institutions in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the Central Galilee involved in dance, music and theater. They also will participate in the 1997 David Hermelin Zippori Excavation and meet with the Ulpana teens.
