In September of 2003 William and Joyce Wartmann's contribution established an endowment that will be held in perpetuity by the School District of Edgerton.  Since 2002, the Wartmann's and the school district have been working together to establish the endowment, which will provide the community with affordable performances. 

Dr. Norman L. Fjelstad appointed a committee whose responsibility is to determine the appropriate use of the annual distributions from the endowment.  The committee,  known as the WEpac Board (Wartmann Endowment for the performing arts Board).  Current board members of WEpac are: Kirsten Almo (Secretary), Cathe Engler, Diane Everson, Ron Hagemann (President), Elizabeth Hudson, Dr. Amy Horn-Delzer (Vice President), Ellen Knutson (Treasurer), Alan Lemke, Tom Livick, Dr. Dennis Pauli (Chairperson), Jim Raymond, Gary Smith (Education & Fundraising Coordinator), Connie Tronnes, Paul M. Tropp (EPAC Director), Deb Wolniak.
