Male chapter committee members assumed various roles during the event, from pouring wine and overseeing games to managing raffles. Additionally, they took charge of serving the meal and ensuring that every detail was taken care of.
The evening featured an array of silent auction items, with 98 percent donated by local businesses. The event catered to the diverse interests of all attendees, with 53 silent auction items providing a wide array of choices and opportunities for all.
During the event, the Wyoming NWTF State Chapter also announced the scholarship recipient, Tandee Masco, awarding her a $1,000 scholarship in recognition of her outstanding achievements and dedication.
