A meeting regarding a logging contract in Kirwin this summer will be held on April 14, 2015 @ 5:30 pm at the Meeteetse

community. Communication on this issue will be key.
Happy Birthday George Provancha! George will be 89 years old on Monday Mar 23. He’ll be at the Senior Center for lunch if
you’d like to see him. He says he never thought he’d live this long. He is very hard of hearing and his eyesight isn’t so good, but
considering the life he’s led, he’s in great shape! Come on by and say ‘hi’.
Meeteetse Community, beginning the first of April, I have decided to give up the Meeteetse Cowboy Corner section,
features and photos of Meeteetse people and events, for the Cody Enterprise. Thank you so much for sharing your
stories and letting me take your photos over the last 5 years. I have truly enjoyed it and been humbled and honored to
share a part of this great community we live in with the readers of the Cody Enterprise. If you think reporting and
photographing Meeteetse is something you would like to take on, contact John Malmberg at the Cody Enterprise.
Thanks so much Meeteetse! Tracie Fernandez

"The Wyoming Game and Fish Department will be hosting an open house public season setting meeting on March 23rd
from 6-8pm at the Meeteetse Senior Center. This open house meeting will give the public an opportunity to stop by and visit
with local game wardens and biologists about the 2015 proposed hunting seasons for big game, small game and game
birds. This is a good time to provide your input to these hunting season proposals. The Game and Fish will also be presenting
herd unit objective reviews for the Carter Mtn. antelope herd (Area 82) and the Greybull River mule deer herd (Area 165). This is
a good time to also voice your thoughts and desires regarding the number of antelope and mule deer in these herd units.
We hope to see you there!"

Meeteetse Youth Work Program
Summer is right around the corner and we are sure you are gearing up for a busy summer season. We would like
you to consider joining our Meeteetse Youth Work Program for the 2014-2015 year.
Our goal for the program is to provide youth work experience and provide businesses the extra help they may need
and cannot afford. The program pays for the youth wages and the businesses agree to help provide our youth with a
learning work experience.
The Meeteetse Youth Work Program Board is now requiring a $250.00 Business registration
fee. The fee is due to the Town of Meeteetse on March 1, 2015. The fee will help with the initial program costs
and help leverage private donations and grant dollars. The funding for the program is changing and it is important
to show business buy-in. Businesses are also required to sign a contract with the Town of Meeteetse and sign
the Meeteetse Youth Program Guidelines. Please contact Angie at 868-2278 or meeteetse@tctwest.net to
receive a copy of these documents.
If you are interested in the program please complete a job description for the positions you may have
available. The job descriptions can be emailed to meeteetse@tctwest.net or dropped off at the Town Hall. Please
provide your job description by April 6, 2015. These job descriptions will be handed out to the youth on April
11, 2014.
Listed below are the tentative dates for all Meeteetse Youth Work Program Meetings:
