Holds Fund
RaisingDrive
The annual fund raising drive
of the Lititz Fire Company got
into full swing on Monday, May
6, when over 30 volunteer fire­men
began soliciting industries,
businesses and homes for cash
contributions.
The personal solicitation will
continue until Saturday, June 1.
This will be climaxed the fol­lowing
Saturday, June 8, with
the annual Chicken Corn Soup
festival at the Fire Hall.
Being a volunteer and non­profit
organization, the fire
company’s financial support is
dependent on the contributions
received In' their annual "drive.
All contributions are allowable
as tax deductions.
Last year, 1059 volunteer fire­men
answered 50 calls; 35 of
these in the borough itself. Al­though
averages don’t necessari­ly
mean much, some quick divi­sion
shows that somewhat more
than 21 men turned out for each
of those Calls, on the average.
Each call costs at least $175
an hour for the first hour of
operation and $150 for each ad
ditional hour.
The total aperating expenses
for last year were, $8803. Thuc
a minimum goal for this year’s
drive is $9,000.
