Our Rotarian of the Week grew up in Wyoming’s beautiful Campbell County. Her first working experience was on the family ranch. This Rotarian did not earn an hourly wage… rather she raised and cared for livestock and when they were sold she got paid. She attended Campbell County High School home of the mighty “Camels”. She must have received an excellent public school education because after high school she went on to Princeton and earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History. From there she went to Columbia Law School and earned her Jurist Doctorate Degree.

Rotarian of the Week …Mary Throne has been married to Kevin Boyce for seventeen wonderful years. They have three beautiful and talented children; Michael age 15, Tarver age 13, and Patrick age 10. Other than her family, Mary is most proud of the fact that she has had the privilege of serving in the Wyoming Legislature. For the past several years, Mary has been selected by her fellow legislators and her party to serve in a key legislative- leadership role.

Our special Rotarian was sponsored into the Rotary Club of Cheyenne by Scott Meir. Her most memorable Rotary experience involves her participation in the Cranium Cup. It seems her team sang lively Cowboy songs and quoted …”Shane” … and still lost the spirit award to the …Vikings.

Mary is very busy with her family, her legal practice, and her legislative leadership role… never the less she has helped with the Children Christmas Party, Read to Me and Youth Exchange interviews. What Mary likes most about Rotary is… the weekly renewal of friendships and the amazing commitment to service at the local level …at the national level and …at the international level.

Mary’s favorite meal is Thai Curry… In her spare time she enjoys traveling … cooking …Thai food … and playing the Flute.

In recognition of her service to our Club, our Community and most especially to our great State of Wyoming, the Sargent at Arms will present Mary A. Throne with a Gift Certificate from our Club.

Thank You and Congratulations…. Mary
