SPECIAL REPORT - Sandra (Sandy) Huuki

(Sandy Receives congratulations from Tom on assuming the presidency of the CLK Rotary Club)

Sandra Michelle Clouthier Huuki

Though Sandy was born and raised in Lake Linden, she made her entrance to the world in 1957 at Calumet Public Hospital in Laurium. After finishing both elementary and secondary schools in the Lake Linden-Hubbell Schools System, she started her banking career…the very next day! That was 1975.

Through hard work and dedication to her profession, she was rewarded for excellence in service by being named Community Branch Manager for Citizens Bank in Calumet.

In February, 1977, she married John W. Huuki Jr and this year they celebrated 30 years of a wonderfully blessed marriage. According to Sandy, “John is the love of my life and we continue to grow together.” From this marriage two sons were born: John III, who is married to Sara, have one child (Sandy refers to him as a beautiful grandson), John IV; their other son is Steven.

Sandy and John both love the Keweenaw “because of the four seasons and slower pace,” she says, adding “I live vacation every day in this beautiful part of the world,” to which we all respond, Ditto!

Never one to be idle, Sandy is a Past Treasurer of Main Street Calumet and served in that capacity for three years. She is also a member of the Calumet Lions Club.

Sandy became a CLK Rotarian on March 1, 1994 and served as its president from July, 2002, through June, 2004, a rare 2-year stint. In August, 2003, she was honored with a Paul Harris Fellowship which was purchased for her by Joan Punt from the Albuquerque, New Mexico, Rotary Club.

Sandy never shirks from club activities and actively participates in almost all events.
