Why have a dinner?
Dear Attendees and Not Attendees,
Western Lands Preservation is young, 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. Learn at the dinner about our accomplishments this year and plans for 2026.
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?
Look forward to meeting you, and thanking you.
