Announcement vs. confirmation

Primary-source documentation
The supplied graphics provide a specific date, time, benefit amount, event number, and location list.

Organizer updates
The graphics direct readers to Wilson's Facebook page for the latest updates and changes.

Independent reporting
CTL should add independent coverage separately when available rather than treating the absence of news coverage as evidence that the announcement does not exist.

Editorial wording: “Announced — primary-source documented” is more precise than “no confirmed event” when a dated organizer announcement is available.
