Summary
Visitor LuAnn Hildebrand told the borough that the May 1 Give Local event raised $36,422 for Red Lion nonprofits and that Barshinger Creek raised $3,176 from 93 donors; she thanked volunteers and flagged minor logistical issues that were handled by staff.
LuAnn Hildebrand reported to the borough during public comment that the May 1 Give Local fundraiser "Total amount raised for the entire fest was $36,422.00. Barshinger Creek raised $3176 with 93 donors." She said volunteers and staff handled several small problems, including chalk paint graffiti that should wash away with rain and a clogged toilet that was addressed quickly.
Hilidebrand said a trash can was collected the next day but the replacement bag was too small; public works employee Brian Pomraning addressed the issue. She told council she will formally thank volunteers at the next regular council meeting. The report provided the council with a concrete fundraising total and highlighted both community support and minor logistical items staff may wish to preempt for future events.
