Each year, the Ripley Women’s Club accepts nominations from the Ripley Community, as well as Women’s Club Members, for the GFWC Outstanding Citizen of the Year. It is so important to honor those that serve our community.
This award has been given every year since 1967, and honors a “person/persons who have made a significant positive difference to the Ripley Community”.
Would you like to nominate a fellow citizen?

At their April meeting, the Ripley Women’s Club selected Charlie Truitt as the 2022 Outstanding Citizen for Ripley.
Charlie’s nomination letter explains all he does for the Ripley Community, and we will quote it here:
“Charlie is a selfless person who brings a smile to everyone he greets! Why? Because Charlie’s cheerful smiles come from his heart! No matter what kind of a day you are having, if you have the privilege of running into Charlie, he will make your day better and brighter!”
Congratulations and a thank you to Charlie and all he does for our community. Charlie and a guest will be honored at the Ladies Club annual Spring Banquet. View a list of all our past winners (since 1967!)
