Fifteen local women were honored at a luncheon on March 9th hosted by the Greene County Foundation. “Greene County has a wealth of talented and community minded women which we like to honor during National Women’s History month.” Said Cam Trampke, Executive Director of the Foundation. “ This is always a fantastic event, and really puts into perspective how the world has changed and the fortitude of earlier generations. This event is a labor of love for all of us involved.”
