Annual Report Presenter — Steven Whitney
Our 2022 dinner in Sundance, Utah was a success, and raised about $900 for Western Lands Preservation's land acquisition coffer.
We have not set where our 2023 Annual Christmas Dinner will be held
yet. We'll post 2023 details here in the fall. Subscribe to our Founder's News / Blog as we'll send out an announcement. It will be fun to meet you there. Below are details for the previous 2022 dinner.
Meet new people and make new friends who also love the West. Partake in Western Lands Preservation's Annual Christmas Dinner, this year held in Sundance, Utah, the evening of Tuesday, December 27th, 2022, at the Sundance Resort Hotel (The Foundry Grill).
Event will be attended by the conversation starter, board member, and always up for camping, Joy Whitney of Florida, who will inspire a time well spent among all.
After hot mulled wine and dinner, Steven Whitney, the 17-year-old founder of Western Lands Preservation, will present his annual report, followed by an auction of a few Badger Badge Sponsor products, and then a bit more conversation.
Approximately $145 of the dinner price will go to land acquisition.
| NOTE: | Price is to attend event, and does not include transportation to or from the event. |
Why have a dinner?
Dear Attendees and Not Attendees,
Western Lands Preservation is just starting out, with only 30 acres of land to preserve. So you might ask, "Why even have an Annual Dinner?"
We made our first land purchase in August 2022, and we couldn't have done it without our members; they were the most influential part of funding the endeavor. Each member is an indispensible part of our dream.
I want to share my delight in the people and companies who understand our vision, our goals, and are helping us get there. With over 1.5 million charitable organizations vying for their attention, we are unique in that we are a for profit enterprise. As direct owners of the land we preserve, we value that land more than a charity board member who owns nothing. When you reflect on whether to attend our event, ask yourself who takes care of their home more, one who owns it or one that rents it?
I look forward to meeting you, and thanking you.
