The late Burt and Do- rothy Bryant, who were the par- ents of her daughter-in-law, Shirley Jane Smith, were also members. ; Smith recruited her friend, Charlotte Marchakitus, to join the organization back in the late 1980s and the 85-year-old Dallas woman is still an active member. “We're trying to set an exam- ple to them (younger people) to show them that they can help people,” Marchakitus said. “It gives us something to do and it keeps us moving around which we like because we don't like to just sit around. We like to sho people there’s always som thing to do if they wantto do it.” Anyone interested in joining or learning more about the Pa- triotic Brotherhood of America is welcome to attend one of the group’s meetings. BUDGET Continued from Page 5 as software is ever changing and as teachers and administrators need to be trained on new applications.” Finally, Kyle feels the superin- tendent and his staff should agree to salary freezes. “With the increasing contribu- tions to employee pensions, 100 percent employer-paid healthcare, the current state budget deficit and unsettled professional staff nego- tiations,I would expect that our su- perintendent and his staff would step forward and agree to salary freezes in the 2010-11 school year,” she said. As required by law, the budget will be available for public inspec- tion for at least the next 30 days. It may be viewed at the district ad- ministration office during busi- ness hours. * The board must approve the budget for a second time, follow- ing 30 days of being on display, by June 30. The meeting for the sec- ond budget vote is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 24. Legal bill approved The board approved, by a 6-2 vote, payment ofa bill Hhr$5,187.49 from Elliott Greenleaf& Dean law firm from March. Kyleand Matiska voted against the measure. Board president Bruce Goerin- ger previously said the bill is for at- torney’s fees related to an alleged urination incident. There were al- legations that several Dallas foot- ball players urinated on a tennis court on Sept. 18, 2009 during half time of a game at Tunkhannock Ar- ea. Kyle asked Palfey how much the district has paid in attorney's fees related to the alleged incident to date. Palfey said he did not know but would get her the number.
