Trudi Holthouse, Board Member
Term expires Dec, 2023 Born and raised in Casper, Trudi has spent the majority of her adult life raising her four girls and volunteering her time through the work of The McMurry Foundation. The foundation places special emphasis on the areas of education, religion, children and advocacy for children, health and human services, the arts and humanities, and a favorable business environment. In carrying out its work, the foundation is guided by the values of excellence and compassion. The foundation invests in innovative ventures as well as established community programs that have the potential to make a lasting difference. Summers spent at the lake have created priceless family memories. Long days chasing kids on the beach, pulling big kids on tubes around various coves, have proven to be the best days of our lives. I look forward to serving the Boat Club as a volunteer and club advocate. Thanks for having me. |
