Join your Sisters in Service for a free, full day of experiential learning in a variety of fields. Breakfast & lunch included.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 2024*
RAMKOTA HOTEL, CASPER, WY
BREAKFAST AT 7 A.M. & PROGRAM BEGINS AT 8 A.M.
Join us for connection and fun! At POWW there is something for everyone! POWW 2024 offers multiple breakouts so that you can pick your own journey as you choose between experiential, educational, or mental and physical wellness tracks throughout the day. The day will start with a large group activity, “Complete Your Mission,” a fun and interactive team experience where you will connect with your fellow sisters in arms.
After that, we'll have an engaging presentation by Julie Elledge, whose company created the "Veterans Talking To Veterans" initiative. With Julie's help, we'll explore how timeless stories can help you cope, rejuvenate, imagine, and elevate your life for the better.
In addition to making new friends and reconnecting with old ones, having great food, and door prizes, are you wondering what else to look forward to? Here are the breakouts you can chose from:

Last year we added a pre-event and input from Veterans was that we should have it again. Therefore, on Friday, August 2, there will be a meet & greet with games and appetizers at the Casper Vet Center from 6 to 8 p.m. This casual opportunity is meant to allow even more connectivity before the full-day event. The Casper Vet Center is located just down the road from the event at the Ramkota, at 1030 N Poplar Street, in Suite B.
