About - Lantz Welch Citizens Brigade

When we nurture togetherness, it nurtures us.

From “You’ve been elf-ed” surprises to Meal Train deliveries, our Weatherby friends know how to show love. The Brigade exists to help spread that care and compassion to everyone at Weatherby Lake and beyond.

Our mission

The mission of The Brigade is to provide financial support to Weatherby Lake individuals and groups of all ages who will create, coordinate, and manage projects or programs that:

- foster community engagement
- encourage civil discourse
- promote selflessness
- strengthen leadership skills
- and/or bring residents together

Our vision

We envision an even more vibrant, deeply connected, welcoming, and inclusive Weatherby Lake community that is a model beyond our city.

Our inspiration

We launched The Brigade in 2022 to honor Lantz Welch. From the one-of-a-kind castle to funding the first Junior Sailing boats.
