Oak Harbor Soroptimist Honors Long-Time Member for Emergency Clothing Project

Barbara Veitch, a charter member of Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor since 1981, was named Member of the Month for her outstanding dedication to the club's school emergency clothing project. Club President Stephanie Smith presented the recognition to Veitch, highlighting her tireless efforts to ensure local students have access to necessary clothing, removing barriers to school attendance.

The emergency clothing project, which will be detailed in an upcoming announcement, addresses a critical need in Oak Harbor schools by providing clothing assistance to students who might otherwise miss school due to lack of appropriate attire.
