Mayor: community radio auction raised roughly $75,000–$77,000 for local nonprofits
Summary
The Reedsburg mayor reported the recent community radio auction raised $77,000 per the bookkeeper's ledger, with a final tally expected near $75,000; funds benefit about 30 local agencies, and the next auction is scheduled for Jan. 25, 2027.
The mayor reported that the city’s recent community radio auction exceeded the previous record and yielded approximately $77,000 according to the official bookkeeper, with the expectation that the final, reconciled total will be "right around $75,000." The mayor described the event as "very, successful" and thanked community volunteers who support the effort.
"Our previous record was 71,000 and some change raised," the mayor said, and added that the bookkeeper's numbers show $77,000 though the mayor expects a final figure closer to $75,000 once all items are finalized. The mayor emphasized the event’s local benefit: about 30 local agencies received funds and some organizations rely on those checks as their only annual support.
Council members and staff offered brief congratulations and thanks. The mayor noted the next radio auction date on the calendar is Jan. 25, 2027, and publicly thanked volunteers and workers who helped run the auction.
No budget breakdowns or specific recipient organizations were named during the report; the mayor said checks are distributed to participating groups but did not provide a list of beneficiaries at the meeting.
