Callaway is home for Micki Newton - and she will tell you it really always has been. Born and raised in the Heart of the Seven Valleys community, Micki is the oldest daughter of Donna and the late Wayne Hogg.

Like many who grow up in small rural towns, Micki moved away, got married and raised a family. Then in 2010 her hometown called her back to her roots, and she moved back to Callaway after being away for 30 years. After getting divorced and working for the same company, Becton-Dickinson, Micki decided it was time for a change.

“In 2015 I quit my job of 23 years and took a leap of faith to start my own business. It wasn’t hard to decide what to call it - it just came naturally,” Micki explained. “I wanted to help people and, in the process, get paid for it too.”

That is how her business, Anything For You, was born. She said she began working to drum up clients by putting up fliers around town promoting the fact that she would do cleaning in homes and businesses. And just like the name of her business indicates, that is far from the limit of the services she offers.

Anything For You also does interior and exterior painting, and small repairs around the home such as adjusting toilets, fixing broken chairs, putting up curtain rods, and so on. Micki will also take on yard work and gardening, spring cleaning and will even offer transportation to appointments.

“It didn’t take long to grow my customer list,” said Micki. “As of now I have 17 people I work for and I clean two businesses - the Callaway Community Center and a church in Broken Bow."

Micki said her clientele includes a wide array of individuals - teacher, doctors and hospital employees, engineers, ranch and farm families, retired people, and even some family members.

“I love my people, as I call them. They are very special to me. They are like extended family,” Micki shared. “I have learned so much from my people in the past seven and a half years. And I love providing this service to the community.”
