The Fries Rebellion film, which describes the events of the Fries Rebellion which took place in our township and the surrounding area, was produced in anticipation of upcoming America250 celebrations. More than 700 individuals have viewed the film during 12 screenings held in late 2024, and another 825 have viewed the film during 12 more screenings held during the first quarter of 2025. Distribution plans including: fundraising events; a gala (held in September 2024); screenings; meetings with high school curriculum directors; search for film distribution agent; DVD production, promotion through direct mail, social media and news outlets; arrangements for scheduled airings on PCN; newsletter articles; and on-line video rental began in late 2024 and will continue through 2025. The educational film has won 14 national and international film festival awards to date and is an America250PA 'recognized project.' Our goal is to distribute 1,000 DVDs of the 32-minute film to local public and school libraries. A teacher's guide for the film has also been made available. 0 145250 The Bartholomew Center for the Preservation of Lower Macungie Township History is a museum established in 2017. The museum contains artifacts and exhibits pertaining to the history of our township. It is operated and maintained by an all-volunteer staff, primarily composed of our board members. During 2024, our staff organized archives; maintained veterans' biographies; maintained Past Perfect archival database; made genealogical information and research tools available at the museum; handled acquisition, accession, and appropriate care of artifacts; received an average of 4 museum visitors or families on Sundays; hosted occasional private museum tours and other activities; engaged in historical research for our newsletters (3/yr.) and planned book publications; maintained and updated our social media sites; and oversaw administrative and fundraising activities. An estimated 3,360 volunteer hours (1.6 Full-time-equivalent employees) were provided. 0 625 Our historical society was formed in 1989, initially to preserve a log house built in about 1790 from demolition. The log house was moved to a local park and was restored largely by volunteer efforts. The log house and surrounding gardens are maintained by our board members and volunteers. We typically offer three public events at the site each year as well as occasional private tours. Events are advertised through social media, newsletters, and our website. Attendance at our spring, fall and Christmas events varies greatly, but we see an average of 12 visitors per event. 0 68 145943 Linda Bloom Director 5 0 0 0 Richard Gorton Director 1 0 0 0 Lee Lichtenwalner Director 1.8 0 0 0 Chad Markwich Director 3.5 0 0 0 Charles Peters Director 0.5 0 0 0 Deborah Stoner Director 3 0 0 0 Sarajane Williams President 32 0 0 0 Ann Bartholomew Vice President 6.5 0 0 0 Kristina Seedorf Recording Secretary 1 0 0 0 Robert McCall Treasurer 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PA Robert McCall 2531 Ivan St Bethlehem PA 18020 4842252189 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 11552 16482 15714 78740 82340 204828 0 0 0 0 0 0 3600 3600 3600 3600 3600 18000 15152 20082 19314 82340 85940 222828 222828 230 40 27 134 260 691 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 223519 5757 0.99691 0.99946 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Folino Winery Event with Carson Kressley 11830 3616 8214 0 0 0 2813 0 0 Fries Rebellion Gala Event 22216 6095 16121 0 0 0 14449 0 21324 0 34046 9711 24335 0 0 0 17262 0 21324 38586 -14251 Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B We belatedly realized that we had not entered several grants we received into Schedule B.
