Lynne Boomgaarden attended Cheyenne Central High School where she was a proud Central Indian. After high school, she spent two years at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota then she transferred back to the University of Wyoming where she earned a B.S. in Zoology, a B.S. in Secondary Science Education, and later her Jurist Doctorate from the Law School.

Lynne and Rick Boomgaarden have been happily married for thirty years. They have two married daughters, Megan and Allison. They also have two beautiful granddaughters, Zoey and Norah. 

Lynne is one of our new energetic Rotary Club members. She was sponsored into the Rotary Club of Cheyenne just over a year ago by Billie Addleman. She serves on the New Member committee as well as World Community Service Committee.

Her most memorable Rotary Experiences thus far …include being asked to… Give the invocation for her second Rotary meeting… and … the energy and fun everyone enjoyed at the Cranium Cup. 

The best thing about Rotary according to Lynne is …” The Rotary community’s commitment to SERVICE ABOVE SELF and the opportunity Rotary presents to serve in a variety of ways both locally and globally.”

Her proudest achievement other than her family is that she has enjoyed a rewarding career in public service and the law in our great State of Wyoming.

Lynne’s favorite meal is pork loin with horseradish, baked sweet potato, asparagus and pecan pie. In her spare time she enjoys fly fishing, upland bird hunting, golf and cooking.

In recognition of her service to our Club and our Community, The Sargent at Arms will present Lynne with a gift Certificate from the Club.
