Welcome to the Town of Wheatland Fall 2019 electronic newsletter and the Supervisor's Corner. My name is Linda Dobson and I am proud to be the Supervisor for the Town of Wheatland. As a key elected leader in the Town of Wheatland Government, I work with other members of the Town Board to enable the ideas, opinions, and concerns of a wide variety of interests in town affairs and use that input to manage the Town Government in the most effective and efficient manner. In Wheatland, the Town Supervisor is elected to serve a two year term in office operating as one of five voting members of the Town Board. |

What I "Like" About Wheatland |
|
|
A Quote from Roger Estes Although Roger has been a life-long resident in the town of Caledonia, Wheatland has been his "hometown". Roger, his wife Deanie and their five sons were educated in the Wheatland-Chili School District and have been active in Wheatland Recreation programs and SAA baseball and soccer. Roger is currently serving as pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church in Mumford. |

"Wheatland is a wonderful community filled with great people who care about and for each other. Wheatland offers many opportunities for young and old alike. Wheatland Rec and SAA continue to offer our young people activities that can tune their athletic skills and social skills. Many older folks love going to the Senior Center for food, games and good conversation. And let’s not forget our faith communities that offer continuous outreach through special events and dinners as well as worship services. There are many more reasons to “Like” Wheatland, it is truly a little piece of Heaven on Earth."
