Each year WIB works hard to collect auction items and this year was particularly successful; this year's auction brought in $1,852! Money raised is used to award local women with scholarships to further their education. Last year, WIB was able to give two $1,000 scholarships at the Seminar in May and this year they are hoping to award three. Looks like they are well on their way! WIB sends a special thank you to the attendees and local businesses for their donations and support.
