VtF is proud to share that our Chairperson, Joanne Kittel was one of the recipients of the “Women who Lead” award given by the Oregon Coast Chapter of the National Organization of Women last weekend at the Newport Performing Arts Center. Joanne is recognized locally as a unique individual who has contributed countless hours volunteering, and leading our community toward improving services, preservation of our cultural history, and the natural environment of the Yachats area. The VtF Board joins NOW in saluting Joanne and thanking her for her many contributions.
