Thankful Thursday

Alf Grzegorczyk, owner of the Red Wood Lounge, shares a laugh with a patron as he hands out bracelets for Thankful Thursday on Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012, at the Cheyenne lounge. The weekly gathering has raised more than $100,000 for charities since it started on Feb. 11, 2010, through 50/50 drawing and auctions. "It's such a cool program," Grzegorczyk said of the weekly event (held at 4:30 p.m. each Thursday except in the summer and on holidays) that benefits a different charity each week. Thursday's event was in benefit of the Boys and Girls Club of Cheyenne. (James Brosher/Wyoming Tribune Eagle)
