The WCW Past President, Linda Henderson, inducted the incoming officers for 2021-2022. It was a very fun installation as Linda used a saddle analogy and bottle
of wine. Continuing in their roles are President - Kady Porterfield, Secretary - Gail Shelton, Treasurer - Bev Cridelbaugh, 1st Vice-President – Brenda Hart, and Parliamentarian - Jeannie Kiehn. Filling new roles for the coming year are President-Elect - Kelby Tostenson and 2nd Vice-President - Katie Quicksall.
After the Annual Meeting adjourned, those in person enjoyed a catered lunch of prime rib dip sandwiches and door prize drawings. A voluntary workshop was offered after lunch on Digital Advocacy Tips. It was formatted as a roundtable discussion, where KayDee presented the basics of the social media platforms and cattlewomen had the chance to ask questions. Input and answers came from all around the table as ladies shared their own experiences and tips with each other.
It’s been a long year of not cooking beef for events for us ladies this year – something we enjoy so much! However, we finally got to bring out the pans and utensils for a fencing crew project to help ranchers
in Lincoln County that were devastated by this
year’s wildfires. Volunteers from the Kittitas County Cattlewomen prepared and fed the fence builders with a great lunch of BBQ beef sandwiches (sponsored
by KCCW) and an amazing dinner of beef chili and cornbread (sponsored by WCW). The crew was so thankful for the support and the tasty comfort food really helped get through the cold weekend.
