Jaclyn Rainwater
Peer Support Manager
Jaclyn was born and raised in Alaska and is blessed to be a part of the recovery community on the Southern Kenai Peninsula. After years of struggling with addiction, the gifts of sobriety have come to fruition in her life; she is a proud wife and mother of two, works as Peer Support for Ninilchik Traditional Council and facilitates a local recovery coalition. She enjoys quality time with her family, fishing, hiking, and all that Alaska has to offer. She is grateful to see the community support behind Kachemak Bay Recovery Connection and looks forward to new ways of spreading hope of freedom from addiction.
Board Members
Willy Dunne
President
After years of exploring the world as an itinerant biologist, in 1987 Willy settled down in Fritz Creek on the shores of Kachemak Bay where he found recovery and community. His support from the recovery community here allowed him to grow into a productive community member, father, grandfather, husband and employee. He is now retired and when not gardening, skiing, hiking, or otherwise enjoying the Great Outdoors, his focus is supporting our budding organization, Kachemak Bay Recovery Connection.
Shannon Honebrink
Vice President
Avid traveler and adventure seeker, Shannon first visited Alaska in 2014 and a short three months later made the move here permanently. When not working in the virtual healthcare space, Shannon enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons. She loves fishing, hunting, cooking and any way she can give back to her community. In 2015 she lost her sister to addiction and has been active in the recovery community here in Homer. Community is such an important aspect of recovery and she is looking forward to helping create hope and opportunity for those still struggling and looking for an alternative way of life.
Barbara McNinch
Treasurer
I am a semi-retired Occupational Therapist. Through the use of activities, the profession provides people the skills they need to be successful, functioning members of our society. As a volunteer, I will share my skills as I work with the KBRC board to foster connection and community for people in recovery and others affected by addiction.
I have lived in Alaska for close to 50 years and understand the difficulties and wonders of living in our unique state. I like to travel, hike, garden, dance, knit, and sew. I also really love drinking a good cup of tea while watching the changing moods of Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Mountains.
