Casper – “The Try” is that special characteristic which contributes to success in life—along with perseverance, hard work, and loyalty. It’s that quality within oneself that allows a person to overcome obstacles with courage and tenacity. While The Try book by James Owen is now out-of-print, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming Foundation is blazing the trail with the upcoming release of a new book, Wyoming Try. In the spirit of The Try, the Wyoming Try captures the remarkable true stories of a dozen ordinary Wyoming individuals who have done extraordinary things despite the odds–overcoming their own personal obstacles and inspiring others in the process. The introduction to the book includes a special dedication to Mick and Susie McMurry, who were instrumental in the development of the Cowboy Ethics’ program, which began over a decade ago. The Try book is a foundational component to Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming’s Be Somebody: Cowboy Ethics’ program. Over the past 11 years, the Club has trained over 1,000 professionals to be Cowboy Ethics’ teachers in over 240 organizations, changing the lives of 105,000 individuals in 15 states across the country through the Cowboy Ethics program.
Copies of the book will be made available to each guest at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming’s upcoming 24th Annual Awards & Recognition breakfast, honoring Brad & Jan Cundy. There is no cost to attend, but guests are asked to make a meaningful contribution to support the work of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming. The breakfast will be held at the Ford Wyoming Center on Wednesday, Sept. 14. Doors open at 6:15 a.m., breakfast is served at 6:30, and the program begins at 7 a.m. For tickets or more information, please visit bgccw.org, or call 307-235-4079.
