Gem Theatre in Detroit
Join us on May 24 for "The Gems of Detroit" at the historic
Gem Theatre in downtown Detroit to observe Operation ABLE of Michigan's
twentieth anniversary, present ABLE Exemplar Awards to four outstanding
Detroiters for their accomplishments, and raise funds for scholarships to
the ABLE program.
Operation ABLE of Michigan is truly one of this
community's "Gems." This year we are marking two decades as the area's top
resource for jobs and training for mid-career and older workers. The funds
raised this evening will be used to assist the many people who need help finding a
