that Griffin is going to reevaluate
the arrangement in late summer.

scratch."
Rottgers, a greater Cincinnati

episcopal seminary in Lexington.
Ky. He started Christ the King
Church in Tabb, Va., in 1985.
The Observer!THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1996
By the time he left in 1993, it
had grown to 400 members and
it had built its first church.
All Saints has 70 baptized
members with an average of 40
people attending services.
Rottgers said he hopes to one
day built a church on seven
acres of property on Warren
Road between Beck and Ridge
roads. When the ground-breaking
happens, he said he plans to
mix some of the dirt from the
catacombs that he brought back
with the new building.

Observance is for motherless
Motherless women will unite
in the Detroit metropolitan area,
New York and 14 other cities
nationwide for the first Motherless
Daughters Day Saturday,
May 11, the day before Mother's
Day.
On that day, motherless
daughters throughout the United
States will come together to
honor their mothers and commemorate
their lives as part of
Mother's Day weekend. .
At 3 p.m. EDT nationwide,
motherless women will be linked
by a "Circle of Remembrance" as
participants in each individual
city join hands.and acknowledge
their mothers by name.
"Mother's Day is often a difficult
time for women who have
lost their mothers," said Hope
Edelman. author of» Motherless
Daughters" and "Letters from
Motherless Daughters." "We
hope to give them an opportunity
to celebrate their mothers' lives
rather than mourn their losses."
In the metropolitan Detroit
area, motherless women will
gather at 1 p.m. for a luncheon
at Meadowbrook Hall at Oakland
University near Rochester.
The event will feature guest
speaker Dr. Ellen GPfcimeretz. a
Birmingham psychologist who
specializes in issues of loss and
has been a motherless daughter
since age six. Dr. Grumeretz also
facilitates motherless daughter
support groups.
Women need not be members
of the ntional Motherless Daughters
organization to attend the
luncheon. There is a minimal
cost for the luncheon, and a voluntary
donation for the Motherless
Daughters organization will
be accepted.
Mary Ann Court, 34, a motherless
daughter and coordinator for
the local Motherless DAughters
Day, found plenty of comfort in
the "Motherless Daughter"
FAMILY ROOM from page 13A
been able to predict all that has
transpired since then.
Time and life have unfolded
themselves and they've twisted
and turned and there never
seems to be map to give me an
idea of what lies ahead. But
ahead I go, we all go, faster and
faster ali the time.
Yikes! It's like; a wild Cedar
Point ride, isn't it? Shrieking
and hanging on for dear life
sems like a smart thing to do,
but that would cause a ruckus
and be really embarrassing. So'
we do what we do, and for me
that's pretending to be calm and
in control. It usually works. But
I'm only pretending. Inside, I'm
shrieking and hanging on for
dear life.
Anyway, this anniversary of
sorts, this 100th episode of the
"Family Room" coming in two
weeks is worth a celebration.
Heck, why not? I've celebrated a
lot less momentous things. Why
just the other day all the socks
matched in my folding pile and I
ran downstairs and had a cup of
coffee. It was one of those fancy
brands, that celebrates the
moments of your life. So see, celebrations
are good most any
time for most anything, Even
celebrating 100 weeks.
For 100 consecutive weeks,
I've been here, talking.with you.
And you've been wonderful,
faithful listeners and readers.
You've cried with me and
laughed with me. You've agreed
and disagreed with me. You've
offered some advice along the
way. You've let me pass a few
minutes of the week with you
during many of those weeks .
So let's celebrate 100. The column
in two weeks will be a
"Family Room Salutes 100." And
I'm inviting you all to tell "Family
Room" readers something
about your family, your life in
your family, in about 25 words.
Or, if you're not in a saluting
kind of mood, you may complain
about'them. Or just plain tell
about them and let everyone else
figure out if it's good or bad.
You must mention the number
100 somewhere along the way;
that's a requirement, since the
whole thing is a salute to, 100.
Here's just an example: Jack had
100 crayons until today. He
shoved a handful down the furnace
vent. He said we'd have
rainbows blowing out soon.
- Family was mentioned in the
example. The number 100 was
books.
"The first Motherless Daughters
Day will briog women and
girls together who share the
common bond of lpsing their
mother," she jsaid. "We are sisters
of a kind." -< .
The Motherless-Daughters
organization, based.in New
York, is a not-for-profit organization
designed to offer support,
services and information to
women and girls who have experienced
early mother loss.
