WHEATLAND – The excitement has been building for the last two months among P.E.O. Chapter AW members and people in the community who’ve purchased raffle tickets for their latest fundraiser: a deluxe portable wagon filled with four feet of Wyoming-themed goodies galore.
In the wagon included several hundred dollars of donated items, including the wagon which includes a top that can serve as a portable table and folds down into the size of a briefcase. Members of the P.E.O have sold tickets at several public events since September, and tickets were also sold at Interstate Gas Conoco Food Mart, The Wanderer on Gilchrist, The Wandering Hermit Books and Gifts.
“Everything we raised goes 100 percent to scholarships for local graduates,” Carol Cook said. She is president Chapter AW of the Philanthropic Educational Organization (P.E.O.), based in Wheatland.
Cook explained the organization celebrates the advancements of women and focuses on assisting women receive an education through providing scholarships, grants, awards, loans, and as stewards of a women’s college (Cottey Collega in Missouri). The group also seeks to motivate women to achieve their highest aspirations.
