YWCA Honors Sally Fiehrer
Sally Fiehrer was named one of the YWCA's Outstanding Women of Achievement at an awards ceremony Nov. 5. The following is an excerpt from the Hamilton Journal-News.YWCA will salute five women
The organization recognizes those who make a difference in the community through service.

HAMILTON — Sally Fiehrer didn't set out to become an advocate for people with mental illness.
But when a family member was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder 20 years ago, she was compelled to learn more and help others.
"Years ago these things were not at all understood. People blamed the person and some accused them of demon possession," said Fiehrer of Hamilton.
"I wanted to help people better understand and hopefully have people with mental illness get the same compassion as anyone with a serious illness."
Since then, Fiehrer has helped pass a mental health levy and founded the Butler County chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, where she now serves as volunteer director.
Fiehrer's dedicated service to others is why she will be one of the five women honored by the YWCA Wednesday, Nov. 5, during the 23rd annual salute to Outstanding Women of Achievement.
The award recognizes women who have made a difference in the community through service.
