Wild Woman of the Year Nominees and Why They Were Nominated:
Jenelle Sujat
“She did a lot of work on the Coco Beach trip. She has stepped in to run the meetings when Wendy and I are not available. She helps with slides and membership list and other IT issues.” – Jennifer Cripe
Jennifer Cripe
I would like to nominate Jennifer Cripe. Since joining us a few years ago, she has become increasingly active – always willing to do the extra, and did a great job as VP this year! – Patrice Messina
Jenelle Sujat
She has done a great job as treasurer and stepped up in many other ways: meetings, website, PowerPoint, and great fun weekend organizer! – Karen Copen.
Anne Baxter
I feel she deserves to become woman of the year. She is a very interesting woman. The knowledge about birds goes beyond any of the ladies in WWOW. I learned so much from her when she would take us in walking bird fields. 10 years ago, she used to own a house boat, we would be invited for a potluck. She would pick us up at the bass pro shop in her dinghy to take us in her boat. She did that for years and many other things. -Angelica Littleken
Anne Baxter
She has done so much for this community. She has been a naturalist that had so many outings with the WWOW where she explained everything to us. She lived on a houseboat and invited the women to enjoy the unique situation of living on the water. She truly exemplifies the spirit of the Wild Women on the Water. – Susana May
Jenelle Sujat
I believe she has been extremely dedicated to her role and is the one who advertises WWOW the most whenever she gets a chance. – Nathaly Milla
