The dinner will be held at the Wilmot Community Center as part of the annual Winter Wonderland Weekend in Wilmot activities February 3rd - 5th.

It was a typical day when Yvette was getting ready for work with her auction company, VanDerBrink Auctions, when she discovered a lump in her right breast. That lump started a whirlwind of doctor appointments, and she was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2007. Faith, determination, humor, and a fabulous support system helped her through surgeries, weeks of chemotherapy and radiation.
