60th Annual Weyburn Young Fellows Auction

Our annual auctions are a major source of our revenue as a club. The revenue from our auction, Christmas tree sales, pit roasts, and cabarets is used to support various athletic, educational, and parks & recreation programs used by people in the Weyburn community. Every dollar raised by the Young Fellows goes back to the community as all members donate their time to keep costs at a minimum.

Going back to the beginning—the year 1922—the world was in a depression and the young men of Weyburn, as elsewhere, were feeling the loss of companionship gained from the First World War. A group of young men decided to do something about it and several coffee cup discussions later, 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: Choosing constitutionally the admirable motto “WE SERVE”.
