Lemonade stand raises dollars for White Haven Volunteer Fire Co. #1 by Ruth Isenberg Kali Karnatski couldn’t have picked a better day to open her lemonade stand. Saturday was hot and humid, and cold lemonade and pink lemonade really hit the spot. The 6 year-old was raising money for the White Haven Volunteer Fire Co. #1 at the
stand set up in front of her home on Towanda Street, across from the White Haven Post Office. And raise money she did—over $1,200. The money is much appreciated by the fire company, as COVID-19 has eliminated many of their usual fundraisers, and the new fire station means the money is needed.
The stand was open from 10 to mid-afternoon, and lots of people stopped by, Kali’s mom said. She made gallons of lemonade, and cookies. Donations were generous. WNEP-16 featured the lemonade stand on their evening newscast, highlighting the fire company’s appreciation and the community’s spirit.
