Council approves $500 donation to Wheatland Moose Lodge youth fishing tournament
Summary
The council voted to donate $500 to the Wheatland Moose Lodge to support its youth fishing tournament, after a presentation describing youth-focused prizes and sponsorship tiers.
The Wheatland City Council approved a $500 donation to the Wheatland Moose Lodge to support its youth fishing tournament.
Lorraine Albright, representing the Wheatland Moose Lodge, described the tournament as a family-focused event emphasizing participation by children and teens, awards for youth participants and local charitable support. She said the lodge provides prizes such as tackle boxes and fishing poles and that part of the proceeds support Moose Heart programs for needy children.
A council member moved and another seconded a motion to donate $500 to the Moose Lodge youth fishing tournament “to support our youth and our community.” The motion carried on a voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
Albright outlined sponsorship tiers discussed with the council — $100, $200 and $500 — and asked for donations and sponsorships to cover entry fees and prize purchases for children. Council members expressed support for the youth focus and approved the donation.
Next steps: the town will provide the $500 donation as approved and the lodge will apply funds toward youth prizes, entry support and related event expenses as described in the presentation.
