Grosse Pointe Moms Club

Reinforcements
Club member Sandra Wiiki, seen above at her home in Harper Woods with her son Sam, worked from home as a designer for a company that supplies interior plastics to Ford until losing her job in March 2009. She's been busy taking courses in digital-arts animation at a nearby community college, with assistance from the state-run worker-retraining program No Worker Left Behind.
