(WESTPORT, Ind.) – The Kiwanis Club of Westport is recognizing a woman for her volunteerism.
JoAnn Smith was given the 2024 Community Service Award from the organization.
The award recognizes those who go above and beyond in the Westport community.
Smith is a Vietnam-era veteran and retired from civil service.
She is a member of the Westport Area Business Association, treasurer at Westport Methodist Church, lead volunteer at Stuff N’ Things, and previously served on Mainstreet Westport.
Stuff N’ Things is a 3200-square foot thrift store operated by Westport Methodist Church.
“Volunteers give a part of themselves. The paycheck for volunteer work performed is much less tangible, but often more valuable — friendships among members, a sense of self-worth, and the feeling of being appreciated, to name a few,” the Westport Kiwanis said.
