Councilman Soos thanked the students and they deserve a round of applause.� Special thanks to the acting Borough Clerk who had a lot of reading to do tonight.

Mayor David advised that the Borough was lucky to receive a $50,000.00 donation from Schering-Plough Corporation for the purchase of a new ambulance. Additionally, they have agreed to provide up to another $50,000.00 if the Borough could match that funding.� The Rescue Squad has kicked off a campaign to raise the additional $50,000.00.� When the letters come to your home for a donation for the Rescue Squad, please give for this worthy cause.

Mayor David also commended the students for an excellent job this evening.� He hopes that this has been a positive experience and down the road, after they have gone through the next level of education, they would consider volunteering for a committee or group and give some time back to whatever community they reside in or even consider running for public office.
