dinner set for 6 pm Friday, February 3, 2012. The dinner will be held at the
Wilmot Community Center as part of the annual Winter Wonderland Weekend in Wilmot

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.
