The name Jeani Ferarri is well-known around Turlock, and the long-time champion of goodwill is being recognized for her contributions to the community as the Turlock/Modesto Branch of the American Association of University Women’s Outstanding Woman of the Year. “She is somebody who is really outspoken about what she thinks is right, and is willing to do something about it,” said Hanna Renning, co-program vice president of AAUW. “She has worked very hard and devoted a great deal of her energy and time to many great causes.” To be honored by the AAUW is incredibly meaningful, said Ferrari.
