On Saturday, March 28, Pat Berg speaks to the crowd at the Sunburg Fire Department's ham and turkey bingo night. She is one of the many volunteers assisting with fundraising efforts.
As briefly mentioned in the April 2 issue of the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper, the Sunburg Fire Department is currently raising funds to purchase a new (used) tanker/pumper truck. The department has a fundraising goal of $150,000. On December 31 last year, they had $34,350 raised. On March 11 this year, a mailer went out to local and faraway contacts which yielded tremendous results. By March 28, the total raised was $101,750.
As of Monday, April 6, the total was $114,554. Nearly half of that amount was raised in the prior three weeks alone ($52,954). The total still needed is roughly $35,000. Donations can be sent directly to: City of Sunburg, PO Box 84, Sunburg, MN 56289.
