Local donors give $35,000 to fund Wheaton band’s ABA trip
Summary
Les and Mary Wiberg donated $35,000 to cover the Wheaton Municipal Band’s expenses for participation at the ABA annual meeting; the commission agreed the band and commission would send thank-you notes.
Don Cavalli told the commission that Les and Mary Wiberg, "Friends of the Band," donated $35,000 "which will cover all expenses for the Band’s participation at ABA." He said he will send a thank-you letter on behalf of the band and commissioners agreed the Commission should also send a note.
Commissioners expressed appreciation for the gift and noted it removes the need to fundraise for ABA attendance. No formal motion was recorded in the minutes; the donation and a plan to acknowledge it were recorded as agreed by all present.
