Janet Winters

Event Coordinator

Janet brings years of experience in organizing events and activities.  Raising two children that were active in school and civic activities that needed a mom to help was the beginning. Being a part of starting a school for the developmentally challenged was a career of its own even though Janet worked full time in the Personnel business. That school is now a nationally recognized community of learning and care from cradle to death in Arkansas. To help with funding for this project she was instrumental in producing a show that used local talent and a Broadway Director for three nights of fun filled entertainment for many years.


A native of Arkansas, Janet is an avid Razorback Sports fan.  She loves being outside in her yard, sewing, and reading. Other activities include Wedding Director, Hospitality, Spring Fling, and serving wherever she’s needed in the church. 


She and her husband Sam love to travel and always have their sidekick with them. Marley is a Shi-chon (mixed breed) that is spoiled rotten but very much loved.
