An active firefighter may receive gear from the fire company at the discretion of the trustees when the above requirements are met and continue to be maintained for each activity. The firefighter's eligibility to keep gear shall be reviewed quarterly. Contributing member: one who is not an active member of any other fire company, attends a minimum of 4 regular meetings per year and attends other fire company functions and activities as available. Social member: one who maintains membership through payment of annual dues and attends meetings or other fire company functions and activities, but not enough for active or contributing member status. A social member shall have no voting rights at meetings or be eligible to hold any office. Honorary member: one who, upon making a one-time payment is voted into membership according to article iv section 1 of the bylaws. Present members, upon said payment, shall become honorary members for life. An honorary member shall have no voting rights at meetings unless said member meets the requirements of a contributing or active member. An honorary member shall not be eligible to hold any office unless said member meets the requirements of article viii of the bylaws. The amount of the aforementioned payment shall be determined by the membership at the regular july meeting for the following year. Life member: one who has completed 25 years of faithful service to the company and upon recommendation of the life membership committee is approved by the company. A life member shall be exonerated from further payment of fire company dues. Junior member: one who is (1) fourteen through seventeen years of age, and (2) attends fire company functions and activities as available. Junior members will be eligible to attend fire company meetings. Junior members shall hold their own monthly meetings. The junior members shall establish and adopt their own constitution and bylaws, by which they shall abide, as well as the constitution and bylaws and the working rules and regulations of the fire company and state child labor laws.”

“Active, contributing, and life members who have attended at least four (4) of the previous twelve (12) regular meetings shall have the right to vote at the december meeting for the election of officers.”

“There are no committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body. Any actions required by a committee are approved by the board of directors.”

“The president and the treasurers review the 990 before it is filed and then final drafts are given to all the board members before filing.”

“The organization makes its governing documents and financial statements available upon request. They have no conflict of interest policy. The organization includes a copy of its financial statements with the state registration filed with the pennsylvania department of state, bureau of charitable organizations. These documents are a matter of public record and can be viewed at the bureau office.”

“The audited financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis since the statements include property and equipment which have been capitalized at cost with a provision for related depreciation. Consequently, revenues are recognized when received and certain expenses and assets are recognized when cash is disbursed rather than when the obligation is incurred. This basis differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america primarily because the organization has not reported its investments at fair value, and has not accrued investment income, recorded assets for contributions and other receivables, recorded liabilities for accounts payable to vendors, and has not accrued the benefit cost associated with the length of services awards program.”
