PENTWATER — The Pentwater Service Club has selected Sally Ouweneel as its Citizen of the Year for 2016.

“Mike Flynn and his review committee have made a terrific choice,” said Pentwater Service Club President Ron Christians. “Sally is well known in our community. She’s served in many capacities for over 16 years. It’s great to be recognizing her many accomplishments.”

Ouweneel will be recognized during the August 13 Homecoming Parade, and feted at the Service Club’s Citizen of the Year Dinner on September 22 at the Pentwater Yacht Club.

“When I broke the news to Sally, she was quite reluctant to accept it because she’s such a humble person,” added Christians with a smile. “But I gave her very little choice. ‘You’re the one,’ I told her!”
