What Does The WSWGA Have In Common With The Super Bowl? |
Back on January 15, 1967 the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10 in the first NFL Super Bowl game and
on July 27, 1967 Clare Pyle from Torrington became the overall Champion in the WSWGA's first annual tournament.
Therefore, we will both be celebrating our 56th anniversary this year.

WSWGA's Gift Of Giving |

the scholarships and instead stated all profits from our annual tournaments are to be donated to help support a local
charity in the host tournament city. Below is a list of the charitable donations made by the WSWGA's local tournament
committees since the change: |

WOW is right! All of our members, tournament volunteers and donors as well as the host cities should be very proud of
our organization and what we are doing. Just think, we are a non-profit organization helping other non-profit organizations.
The more revenue we can generate through donations, raffles, and other sources at our annual tournaments, the more profit we
produce to help another worthy cause. Fantastic job ladies!

In Memory |
We would like to be informed of any WSWGA members who have passed away. As you know, we try to recognize these ladies at our annual membership meetings. However,
we sometimes are not made aware of their passing. If we know the names as well as when and where they died, we often can find their obituary on the internet
which we can post here on our website for all to see. In addition, we need to remove them from our contacts list.
Therefore, please send our Webmaster an Email by clicking
webmaster@wswga.org whenever you become aware of a member we have lost.

Paying Your Annual Dues Is Of Great Significance |
We would like to remind all of our members of the importance of paying your annual dues regardless of whether you
plan on playing in our annual tournaments. Among the benefits of belonging to our organization, is that we help
support many charities in the Wyoming communities where we play our annual tournaments. Since 2004, those charities have included
various Animal Humane Societies, cancer foundations, Coalition Against Violence, hospice, and the Wyoming Make-A-Wish foundation.
Your dues, as well as participation in our tournaments, make these charitable donations possible.
As you all know, it is not an easy task to host one of our annual tournaments. It is a lot of work for the local
tournament committees. One of their rewards for all their effort is the ability to make a WSWGA donation to a charity
of their choice in their local community. Even if you are not playing in that years' tournament, payment of your annual
dues help them make this happen.
During the past several years, your Board has discussed the raising of our "dues reinstatement fee" to discourage those
members who choose to pay their annual dues only if they plan on playing in that years' tournament. No doubt, the subject
will be revisited perodically over the next few years. In the meantime, the Board asks for everyones cooperation in
supporting the WSWGA organization, its local tournament committees and the many wonderful Wyoming charitable organizations by
paying your dues each year regardless of your participation in the tournaments.
Finally, a special thanks to all those members who have graciously supported our organization by paying their dues each and
every year - even when they are unable to participate in all of our tournaments.
