Needham commission approves $800 for veterans-focused 'Winner Wednesday' event
Summary
The Commission on Disabilities voted to process an $800 payment from its budget to support Winner Wednesday, an event that pairs veterans and disabled veterans with community members and provides meals and social activities.
The Town of Needham Commission on Disabilities on June 16 approved an $800 expenditure from its budget to support Winner Wednesday, a community event aimed at veterans and disabled veterans.
A commission member presented the receipt showing a total charge of $880 and explained the commission would cover $800 while the event organizers absorbed the remainder. After a motion and second, members conducted a roll-call vote and recorded yes votes supporting the payment.
Members described the event as growing in popularity, noting that community pages and word-of-mouth appear to have increased attendance and that organizers also receive donations and member fees to defray costs. No exact attendance counts were provided during the discussion.
The commission asked event volunteers to report back on participation and outcomes after the event so staff can, if appropriate, recommend future support levels.
