I retired after 35 years in business. In that position I was designer, buyer, computer operator, sales - person, event - coordinator, filing clerk and chief cook and bottle- washer. I did everything except the financials which were handled by my husband. Eventually we ran the shop with 4 employees. It is now being operated by my husband. After so many years I needed to move on. Special skills: Computer savvy. I can navigate the internet, use Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Quickbooks. I have skills in Photoshop and can do some graphic design. My hobby for 35 years has been photography and my work can be seen at www.susanschermer.com. I can set up travel itineraries, organize events, shop finding the best deals, and am especially skilled at visual design. In the 1980's I organized and developed along with the 41st Street Merchant's Association, "Art in the Heart of Miami Beach" which closed off Arthur Godfrey Road for 3 years running. After that I was instrumental in creating "Trick or Treat Street" for family fun on Halloween, which has since morphed into Lincoln Road's event. Currently I live at 4530 N Michigan Avenue with my husband, Mickey Schermer. We are both in excellent health and totally committed to the city we intend to spend the rest of our life in.
