Speaker At Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Luncheon on May 30, 2019
Shamar Herron
Deputy Director of Michigan Works!
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Shamar Herron learned very quickly that he had options. He could let his unfavorable surroundings dictate his future, or he could forge his own path. Shamar chose the latter and began working hard towards his success.
After growing six inches in one summer, Shamar knew his passion for basketball could help him achieve his goals. After a long process, Shamar chose to attend The Ohio State University, where he helped lead his basketball team to the NCAA Final Four in 1999. While Shamar saw minimal time on the court, he was a consummate and dependable teammate. That skill is one of his best traits in the business world.
As the Deputy Director of Michigan Works! Southeast, Shamar leads teams that focus on helping people craft and achieve their goals toward a career and connecting talent to business needs. Mr. Herron also serves as a liaison between executive thought and day to day outputs. His background in economic development, mentoring, and data analysis allows him to play in a variety of arenas. Shamar sits on multiple boards from Youth development to Prisoner reentry. Working with the Director, Shamar will continue to learn and grow as a member of this team!
On December 20, 2018, Arthur Holst passed away. Arthur was a great help with Rotary's Veterans Projects and a VERY IMPORTANT and BIG HELP in bringing the Fisher House to Ann Arbor.
The Appalachian Mountains, often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in Eastern North America. The Appalachians first formed roughly 480 million years ago.
The mountain range is mostly in the United States (U.S.) but it extends into southeastern Canada, forming a zone from 100 to 300 mi (160 to 480 km) wide.
The Appalachian Trail is a 3,500 kilometer (approx. 2,170 miles) hiking trail that runs all the way north from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia, passing over or past a large part of the Appalachian system.
The trail is protected along more than 99 percent of its course by federal or state ownership of the land or by right-of-way.
Annually, more than 4,000 volunteers contribute over 175,000 hours of effort on the trail, an effort coordinated largely by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy organization.
The trail follows the ridge line of the Appalachian Mountains, crossing many of its highest peaks, and running, almost continuously through wilderness.
Ben showed us some of his amazing photos that he has taken during his hiking the trails of the Appalachian Mountains.
Ben offered that he is going to hike the mountain this summer and said anyone in the club can come with him and he will be the guide.
On Saturday, November 3, 2018 Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North had a fun and entertaining fundraiser called the Mad Hatter Masquerade Dinner Party.
We had terrific and funny performances by Tea and Whimsy from Metro Detroit improv, a local improvisers who participate in the community improv meetup group on a weekly basis.
Mad Hatter Mad Men performed dinner music. They are part of the Cabaret Cast of 25 which will be appearing at the Village Theater in Canton on February 6th 2018, proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.
We selected the raffle winners and the best costume of the night. The performers of Tea and Whimsy judged the best costume contest, which the lady in the Cleopatra costume won.
Lastly, the band called Jeff and The Deck Chairs, performed so the audience could dance.
Thank you, to all that performed and attended the Mad Hatter Masquerade Dinner Party. Stay tuned for next years RCAAN Dinner Party. It will be just as great!
