The Second Annual  P.O.W.W.O.W will be held May 18th from 8am-5pm at the Casper Events Center.  As a veteran of Desert Storm, I was pretty excited to hear about this event and hope to see many other women vets join in the festivities.  The event is free to all women who have served in the military.  The day will be filled with guest speakers, workshops, activities and camaraderie!

POWWOW 2013's first keynote speaker will be Liz Cheney!
