He got 95. “I think people just rallied,” Doroshewitz said. “Our phone was ringing off the hook.” Volunteers do a variety of jobs: Parking, cooking and wrapping hot dogs, manning the chips and pop stations, dishing out the ice cream. This year, Party Max donated a couple of inflat able “bouncy” toys for the kids to bounce on, and volunteers manned those. Volunteers painted faces and helped with a fingerprint identification pro gram, sponsored by New York Life. Ed Snage has volunteered to hand out the ice cream for the last five years. Snage, who also works as a precinct worker in election years and serves on the township’s Board of Review, has been joined the last two years by his daughter, Stephanie Fletcher. “We’re a father-daughter team, and we’ve devel oped a unique way of handling the ice cream,” Snage said with a smile. “We’re friendly, and we give them a lot.” Fletcher was all smiles as she dished out ice cream bars to willing youngsters. “It’s great to see everybody,” Fletcher said. “I think it’s nice to give back to the community.”

The types of books needed are preschool to fifth-grade books, accelerated reader books, chapter books, diction aries, thesauruses and encyclo pedias.

BYBRADKADRICH OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

It was a huge Fourth of July cel ebration, Plymouth style. A variety of events over the weekend helped locals and visitors mark a nation’s birthday, with tra ditional events helping Plymouth cement its reputation as abustling destination with a small-town feel. The weekend kicked off with a performance by the Plymouth Community Band Thursday in Kellogg Park. Mother Nature inter fered a little bit Saturday, when the first patriotic performance of the Michigan Philharmonic was inter rupted first by thunder, then by rain and finally by lightning. Police cut the 90-minute concert short after just 30 minutes. Then came Sunday’s fireworks celebration, which drew hundreds of people to Plymouth Township Park (and countless more who watched from surrounding neigh borhoods) for the spectacular 30- minute show. And, of course, the holiday wrapped up with the Good Morning U.S A parade, which got a later start and drew a large, enthusiastic crowd, and the Good Of Fashioned Picnic back at • Plymouth Township Park to round out the weekend. Kathy Scott of Plymouth watched the festivities with her 9-year-old daughter, Emily. While Emily has actually participated in the Memorial Day parade, it was the first trip to the Fourth of July parade for mother and daughter. Emily, a member of Girl Scout Troop 40222 from Smith Elementary School, “wanted to see the horses.” “It brings out different folks,” Kathy Scott said. ‘You get to see the people, and to see what the community offers.”

A pair of A-10 Thunderbolts, a tank-killing Air Force plane nicknamed the "Warthog,” passed over the parade route a couple of times Monday. Jill Dilley of the Plymouth Garden Club greets the large, enthusiastic crowd.

The Michigan Philharmonic had their Saturday concert cut short by inclement weather. The expression on 7-month-old Jack Hartke, held by mom Jennifer Hartke, can only mean one thing. He's listening to Steve King and the Dittlies for the very first time, at the Plymouth Township picnic. (P) »9

Exp. 8/1/11 The Best Money I ve Ever SpentT^f I Had Laser Hair Removal On My Lip & Chin Over Three Tears Ago With Beth. It Changed My Life. I Had Such Severe Facial Hair I Shaved My Face Every Morning (Like 5 O ’clock Shadow Hairy) After Waxing Me One Day Beth Gently Asked Me "Why Don 7 You Have The Laser Hair Removal Done? " 1 Told Her That I Had Tried That. I Went To Henry Ford Fairlane Paid $1000 For My Chin Area And Had 8 Treatments. I Then Sarcastically Said "Clearly It Doesn 7 Work. " She Promised Me That After One Treatment I ’d See A Difference. I Really Wanted To Believe That It Could Work. I Had My First Treatment And Noticed A Difference. After 3 Treatments My Friends And Co-workers Noticed It Too. By The Time I Was Done I Finally Felt Like A Girl. My Self Esteem Was Restored. It’s Been Three Years And I Have Thanked Beth, Renee, & Fatima Every Time I See Them For Taking Such Wonderful Care Of Me. I Referred Every Woman I Know To See Them. Laser Hair Removal Is The Way To Go! 1 ’m Having My Underarms Done Now. For Less Than The Price Of A Coach Purse, I ’m Never Going To Have To Shave My Underarms Again. I ’m Investing In Me! I ’ve Lived In Canton, Northville And Now Dearborn. I Don 7 Care How Far I Am From Them New Face New Body Is My Laser Hair Removal Spot. The Brazilian Wax Is Awesome Too. I Think I ’ll Laser That Next. . Kimmy K„ Dearborn Heights, MI
