V. P. Candice Amens

I joined Soroptimist Yreka, CA in 2005. My husband and I owned a Pharmacy there, and I was fortunate to have time to give back. After moving to Merlin I joined Soroptimist of River Valley. My mother passed down to me a strong sense of helping others and volunteer work. I have two daughters who I would like to continue that commitment. I enjoy helping and encouraging girls, women and children to dream big and find avenues to help them achieve those goals.

Tres. Gwen Luhring

I joined Soroptimist River Valley in March 2000 as a Charter member. My previous work history as a Finance Manager for a major telecommunications company didn’t leave much time for community involvement. I moved to Grants Pass in 1998 and immediately started looking for opportunities to serve.  Helping women and girls live their best lives is a passion of mine.

Director Kellie Barton

I have been a Soroptimist member for 13 years.  I joined originally to be a good role model for my girls. As a member I have gained leadership skills while learning about the needs within our community. I value the ability to make a direct impact and support my personal commitment to the community. I work full time, am mother to two amazing daughters and a grandma.
