Community Hall of Fame
The Wheatland Community Hall of Fame is a GWA Chamber of Commerce Community Benefit Program governed by the "Salute to Excellence Committee". The main purpose of the program is to facilitate a community wide tradition of identifying, recognizing and celebrating citizens who contribute to the general benefit of the Wheatland Community. There are two levels of citizen recognition defined within the context of the Wheatland Community Hall of Fame:
-
Induction as a member of the Hall of Fame
-
Selection as a “Volunteer of Distinction”
"One Person can make a difference, and everyone should try."
