Sherrie Adolphson
I have lived in the Bitterroot Valley since 2001 and have two children in the Corvallis School System. I was employed by The American Red Cross Blood Services and transferred to the Missoula Office upon our move to Montana. My husband, Brett, is the owner of Bitterroot Cabins, a vacation rental and property management business, here in the Valley. After I tired of the daily commute, I changed careers and have been a Radio Marketing Professional since 2005. I am an active Soroptimist, Chamber of Commerce Ambassador, member of Hamilton United Businesses, participant in the Chamber Leads Group, and a board member of the Corvallis Schools Foundation.

Vannesa Bargfrede
I have lived in the Corvallis area since 1991. Our two children attended the Corvallis School District. Justin entered the school in the 1st grade and Jason entered in the 4th grade. They have both graduated from Corvallis High School. My husband, Doug, and I were Cub Scout & Boy Scout leaders for eight years. We also coached baseball for nine years. I started working for the Corvallis School District in 1992 and am currently the School District Clerk. I serve as the secretary/treasurer for the Corvallis Schools Foundation.

Tonia Bloom
My husband and I first came to the Bitterroot Valley in 1972 and have lived in Corvallis since 1977. I have served on the Corvallis School Board for 15 years and currently chair the board. I have served as a classroom volunteer, as a member of the School District's Curriculum, Gifted/Talented, Negotiating, and Facilities Committees and have been the volunteer coordinator for the Corvallis Reading Is Fundamental Program since 1988. I am currently secretary of the Corvallis Civic Club, a board member of the Teller Wildlife Refuge, and a board member and president (2002) of the Montana School Boards Association. My husband, Marshall, is a scientist at the Rocky Mountain Labs. Our two sons both attended Corvallis Schools for 13 years. Jesse graduated in 1997 and Seth in 2000.

Leah Capko
I moved to Corvallis in 1976 where I attended school and graduated.  I have two children who attend school here; Jake is currently a Freshman and Hannah is in the 5th grade.  My husband Bill, also a Corvallis graduate, and I both currently work for First Security Bank.
We are both involved in the Corvallis Baseball Association, Bill as a coach and Vice President and I as Secretary/Treasurer.  I have also been involved in certain CCEC events such as the Memorial Day Festival.  I look forward to serving on the board of  the Corvallis Schools Foundation in an effort to raise money for very worthy academic programs.


Raymond Dunbar
I was raised in the Corvallis area and have lived here all my life except for a 3 ½ year adventure in the US Air Force. I attended Corvallis schools for twelve years, and graduated in 1963. My wife, Laurie, and I have raised three children - all are Corvallis graduates. I work at Don's Home Center; Laurie is a teacher in the Hamilton School District. After serving fourteen years on the Corvallis School Board, serving on the Corvallis Schools Foundation Board seems like a logical step forward.


Whitney Litvin Curtis
I have lived in the beautiful Bitterroot valley all my life.  I graduated from Corvallis High School and have one daughter, Sydonia attending CHS.  My father, Marty Litvin was a teacher and coach at Corvallis for over 20 years and our family has strong ties to the Community.  My passion for the Foundation is in honor of my father and in helping  the students of Corvallis obtain an exceptional educational  experience.

After a 23 year career in Biotech, last working for GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, I retired  from the corporate world to shift my focus to family and our businesses.   

My husband Kyp and I are owners of Corvallis Drug, TimberRidge Pharmacy, Ridgeway Mail Order Pharmacy and a few other pharmacies.   I  love family, sports,  animals, aviation and travel but I always appreciate coming home to the Bitterroot Valley! .
