WEYBURN - The Young Fellows Club of Weyburn will be launching their 67th annual auction with the online portion opening on Friday, March 22 at 9 a.m., and closing on April 6 with a gala event and live auction.
This year’s major fundraiser for the club will culminate with the evening event at the Weyburn Exhibition Hall, which will include a prime rib supper, an open bar from 5-8 p.m., entertainment by the “Duelling Pianos”, and a live auction.
Tickets for the gala evening are $100 each, and can be bought by going online to weyburnyoungfellows.com, or contacting any Young Fellows member.
The funds raised from this auction and all of the club’s other projects go towards supporting a wide range of groups, programs, and facilities that serve families and individuals in the Weyburn community and beyond.
From athletics to education, parks and recreation, and special needs programs, every dollar raised by the Young Fellows goes back into making the community a better place for all.
The club was founded after a call was sent out by Don Mitchell to the young men of the city to meet in the city hall on May 18,1922.
From this meeting was born “The Young Fellows’ Club of Weyburn”, with the aims: To promote the spirit of fraternalism among its members; To develop its members for better citizenship and to contribute in any way which it deemed advisable to public welfare.
The club chose the motto, “We Serve”, and marked its 100th year in 2022 with a major outdoor concert in Jubilee Park.
