Our last meeting started with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by an Invocation by Victoria Haltom. Victoria shared an insightful list of ways "one can acknowledge blessings." See her text HERE. It was followed by the usual Happy Bucks, quite a few, for the wonderful club picnic on Tuesday evening. Some members had happy bucks for vacations they just came back from or vacations coming up.
Upcoming events: Next week, there is a Club Assembly, and the Tigers game is on August 16th. Claude has two tickets available.
Touch a Truck, on August 24th, has 67 trucks already.
The Cooler project is doing well. Last week, the cooler was assembled, and electrical work was done. We will build shelves on Friday at 10:00 AM at the school. It will most likely take an hour. This is a $30,000 project that the club found sponsors for. Well done, members!
Bravo to the Interact Club for getting sponsors to send $6,000 to ShelterBox.
Today's Member Spotlight featured Sharon Pommerville, a founding member of our club and the first female member admitted to District 6400. Clarenceville Rotary holds our club's charter.
Sharon was born in Detroit. Her Mother was a homemaker, and her father was in the Air Force. She has two brothers and studied vocal music in school. At a young age, she sang as a soloist at Redford Methodist Church and the Redford Presbyterian Church. She spent one year in College and then came home and worked at a local beauty shop at 5 Mile and Beech Daly.
Sharon got married and moved to Farmington, where she led a Girl Scout troop. They moved to Livonia when her husband started a business building homes. Sharon worked in the office of their business. One of their homes, a ranch style home, is near Clarenceville H.S.
Sharon is very proud that her second daughter has a nontraditional job for women: she is a conductor on a train in Missouri, a position that she has held since she was 16 years old. (She is currently 45.) The train goes out for 12 hours, then rests for 8 hours and then turns around and goes back 12 hours.
Sharon has held various jobs along the way. A bonus of working these jobs is meeting different people. Sharon started working at the Masonic Theater as a head usher in 2010 and also at the Fox from 2019 to 2024. She has been working at Ford Field since 2011.
