8/23/13 - Howell Main Street DDA President Stephanie Schlittler has worked to make the Howell Melonfest a success, and now the governor of Michigan has recognized those efforts. Rick Snyder has issued a proclamation to pay special tribute to Schlittler, commending her for âher exceptional leadership and commitment to creating a better community.â It states that the growing success of Melonfest is due to the eventâs donors, sponsors, and volunteers, and that Schlittlerâs contributions have been essential in the past few years. Schlittler is leaving the Howell DDA this year to get married to her fiancé, who travels frequently between Michigan and China as part of his work with the Ford Motor Company. She will no longer be in the community often enough to lead up the DDA, but says she still plans to volunteer whenever the opportunity arises. (TD)
