Wrightsville Fire Company fined
Wrightsville Fire Dept. must pay $3K fine
Updated: 12/10/2012 11:13:28 AM EST
The Wrightsville Volunteer Fire Department has agreed to pay a $3,000 fine to the state for failing to keep fundraising records.
An agreement between the nonprofit borough fire department and the state's Bureau of Charitable Organizations, part of the Department of State, was reached earlier in November and approved Nov. 28 by Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele, according to state records.
As part of the agreement, the fire department admitted it did not keep records on two former fundraising programs, a lunch wagon and a penny auction.
The lunch wagon ran Tuesdays through Fridays from January 2009 to August 2011, but the fire department was unable to determine if it made or lost money because no bookkeeping records were maintained, including receipts, ledgers or sales records, the agreement states.
Money lost: The department incurred more than $45,000 in expenses operating its penny auction, which ran for less than a year, according to the agreement. Again, no bookkeeping records were kept, the agreement states.
State law requires nonprofit agencies, including volunteer fire companies, to keep accurate financial records.
The Bureau of Charitable Organizations investigated the department after receiving a complaint, according to Matthew Keeler, deputy press secretary for the Department of State.
In addition to paying a $3,000 fine, the fire department agreed that if it fails to keep "true and accurate" financial records in the future, it will pay $1,100 a day in fines and penalties until the violations are fixed, the agreement states.
No misappropriation: Red Lion attorney D. Michael Craley represented the
fire department in the matter and said no one intended to violate state law, and there was no misappropriation of money.
"Everything was legitimate -- there were just not appropriate records kept," he said. "The fire company cooperated completely with (the state)."
Craley noted that in volunteer organizations, sometimes there are problems with record-keeping and turnover.
In this case, sometimes records weren't kept, but other records were destroyed, he said.
"A lot of the records were damaged ... or destroyed when (the department) had a flooded basement due to a leaky furnace," Craley said.
Discontinued: The fire department has now stopped doing both the lunch wagon and penny auction fundraisers, according to the attorney.
"(Nonprofits) try new things to raise money so they don't have to get it from the taxpayers," Craley said. "Sometimes when you try something new, it doesn't work."
Craley said the agreement was a reasonable resolution.

Columbia police investigate burglaries
The Columbia Borough Police Department has responded to
numerous residential home burglaries throughout the Borough. The burglaries appear
to be crimes of opportunity, with the perpetrators entering the homes through unlocked
doors and windows. In the majority of these instances, the the burglaries occurred
in the early evening hours when the occupants were home. Typical items taken to
date are women's purses, cash, firearms, loose change, and other small items such
as digital cameras and GPS devices. These are not isolated incidents, nor are they
occurring in any one specific geographical area. Presently there have been burglaries
in the 600 block of Plane St., South 9th St., 900 Block of Plane St., 100 block. of Chestnut
St., the 1st block of North 4th St., and the 100 block of South 6th St.
The suspects are
very brazen in their actions, and are to be considered armed and dangerous. Under
no circumstances should a resident confront these individuals, please retreat to
safety and call the police immediately As previously mentioned, these are crimes of
opportunity. Keep your doors and windows locked when you are home, and when
you are away. Also do not leave valuables laying around in plain view. Put purses
and valuables away that can be observed through windows and doors.
We urge any
members of the public having information regarding these burglaries to contact Det.
Matthew Leddy or Sergeant Adam Miller with the Columbia Borough Police Department
at 717-684-7735.
