Betty Glover (91) is still working at the supermarket checkout at the US chain “WinCo.” Twice a week, she earns extra money.

Because: The greatgreat-grandmother from

Phoenix (US state Oregon) has big money problems. Despite her advanced age, she lives in a mobile home and still has to pay it off. Her eyes are also slowly failing her. By her own account, she has already put a full seven decades of work behind her - the last ten of them at “WinCo.” Now she may have enough money to retire. She owes it all to a touching donation campaign on the Internet. Betty received designers Joel Elliott, Esther Gaor, Susan Lizotte, Ethan Martin, Yubin Min, Cole Moscaret, Thierry Kepgang Nana, and Sasha Swedlund. While their collections were decidedly personal and individualistic, overarching themes of sustainability, self-assuredness, and growth wove them with a sense of harmony that uplifts audience members.

“It’s important that everyone, especially young people, have a chance to make their dreams and hopes soar,” commented Jordan Schnitzer.

Betty initially needed help figuring out how to start a fundraising appeal on the web. Her granddaughter helped her, she recounted. Then, having little hope, she said, “Nobody will do anything. No one cares anymore.”

Like Germany, many retirees in the U.S. struggle with money problems in old age. Inflation is making medicine more expensive in addition to purchases. For millions, getting older is becoming a burden in everyday life.

Betty is fortunate. Betty’s everyday life was sweetened to the end by her regular customers. Because of them, she loved her work despite her advanced age. Yet a year ago, her legs began to fail, she recalls. As a result, she had to cut back and reduce her hours from four days to two.

But that, too, will soon come to an end. Thanks to the fundraising campaign, she can finally hang up her job! May 1 is the day.

Betty is looking forward to spending time with her family. She has two children, four grandchildren, six greatgrandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.

Pardi from the stage later in the night, noting, “I always wondered how this might happen if it was going to. I never imagined anything this great. That was incredible.”

“There is no better representation of Northern California than you, man,” said Fieri backstage after the moment. Rogers added backstage, “For nearly a decade now, Jon Pardi has been adding something great to the worldwide via when playing House. I have good times ahead Jon as a future Coming just receiving his third show every time he plays the Opry.

I’ll never forget the big sounds he brought to the Opry stage during the pandemic and how he connected with audiences our live stream, even to an empty Opry no doubt there are ahead for all of us with future Opry member.” just a week after third consecutive ACM

Album of the Year nomination (for being both artist and producer for Mr. Saturday Night), the invitation to become an Opry member was made even more special because it happened in his native home state of California in front of his home state fans. As a result, Pardi will become the first native Californian to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. An official induction date will be announced soon.

Since first hitting the country landscape, Jon Pardi has separated himself from the pack, carving his lane by producing, writing, and singing songs he created from the melodies and earning praise. “Jon Pardi cut a path through modern country’s embrace of pop, hip-hop and EDM”

(The New York Times) with “an emboldened work… a distilling of his sound into a more potent form that draws both vitality and assurance from his anything-but-sterile relationship to his tradition’s modern era” (NPR). With his “state-of-the-art blend of traditional instrumentation and progressive grooves that point to country’s future”

(Rolling Stone), Pardi is “a leader among a growing number of artists bringing back fiddle, steel and twang”

(People). “Even when he’s singing sad songs, he wants people to have a good time” (Associated Press).

Named a “hero in the making” (Variety), Pardi has earned five No. 1s on country radio and is noted for his “long-lasting mark on the genre” (MusicRow) and his impressive ability to carve out his path creating “the kind of country music multiple generations came to know, and love can still work on a mass scale” (Variety). Filled with fiddle, twang, and steel guitar, Pardi continues to “apply new ideas to country’s old sounds” (Los Angeles Times) and “bring authenticity back into Country music” (People).

Among the artists scheduled to appear on the Opry in the coming weeks include Lauren Alaina, Bill Anderson, Deana Carter, Steven Curtis Chapman, The Isaacs, Chris Janson, Jamey Johnson, Ashley McBryde, Lorrie Morgan, The Oak Ridge Boys, Michael Ray, Ricky Skaggs, Jeannie Seely, Josh Turner, Rhonda Vincent, Carrie Underwood, The War and Treaty, and Lainey Wilson, among many others.
