Dear Friends,
This year, The Green Dragon Foundation celebrates its 15th anniversary. Even though our
mission statement was crafted in 2008, Ben Franklin penned the first draft nearly 300 years
earlier when he wrote, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” We could not
agree more and hope you feel the same way!

All costs associated with special events and receptions are underwritten by generous
individuals and businesses specifically for that purpose. The 2022-23 Annual Report
and Honor Roll of Donors are made possible through gifts provided by members of
The Green Dragon Foundation’s Board of Directors.
Since 2008, we have distributed outright support to the Lewisburg Area School District of
more than $2.5 million; and we have secured an additional $900,000 for 25 permanent
and four quasi-endowments, the income from which distributes more than $30,000 annually
for district priorities.
In 2022-23, the foundation gave $158,774 (including in-kind contributions) to LASD for a
variety of programs and projects across grades K-12. A partial list includes completion of
the high school greenhouse; support for elementary literacy through Kelly Kindergarten
Kick-Off; partial funding for the new band truck; funding for a bluegrass workshop for
middle and high school choral students; STEM program support at Kelly and Linntown
schools; funding for the K-8 Food Insecurity program; and continued support for our most
vulnerable students through the “Lifting Up Lewisburg” Quasi-Endowment.
None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous support of
parents, grandparents, district employees, alumni, businesses, and other friends. You have
our deepest gratitude for your “investment in knowledge” and we hope you share our pride
in what we have accomplished together.
Thank you. And here’s to the next 15 years!
Sincerely,
Robert J. Kallin

THE GREEN DRAGON FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2022-23 1

Our 2023-24 school year began with our annual fullstaff
Convocation in August. This rite of entry into our
academic year is a wonderful tradition at LASD. We
enjoyed hosting 240 staff in a gathering to recognize
our successes and milestones, refocus our work for
the coming year, and celebrate a genuine esprit de
corps. I framed the year with a theme calling to mind the
“3Rs.” While I date myself by sharing that it was not the
familiar Reading and Writing and Arithmetic idiomatic
expression from yesteryear, it was an intentional
reference to three “Rs” that now occupy center stage
in our contemporary world of public education—namely
routines, rituals, and relationships.
Our schools have returned to routines, the steady and
reliable structures providing the framework, stability, and
security known by all to define us and our daily work.
Everything from daily schedules and in-person classes,
to bus and food services and a traditional school
calendar assure us all we are indeed going forward as a
healthy and viable public education system in service to
our local Lewisburg community.
Our return to rituals at every level involves intentional
efforts to again enjoy all those pieces that collectively
create memories and sustain the enjoyment and pride in
our schools. We have been able to provide assemblies
and special programs. Our student clubs are active
again at both middle school and high school. We hold
sporting contests with our families and fans present.
We return to hosting music concerts, fall plays, and our
spring musical and art show, and sharing these with
appreciative audiences. With support from The Green
Dragon Foundation, our teachers receive resources for
programs and introduce new learning opportunities that
will likely become rituals. Our supporting organizations,
including PSA, LAMA, All Sports Booster Club, Alumni
Association, and of course the GDF, are our active
partners in all our efforts.
These wonderful organizations help form a marvelous
aspect of that third “R” – relationships. We focus on
strengthening relationships within our schools and
A MESSAGE FROM
THE SUPERINTENDENT
ask teachers to cultivate caring relationships with our
students and their families. We focus staff development
toward building cultures of empathy and caring for our
students and for one another. We also work closely
with our community partners in not only creating but
sustaining and strengthening viable relationships
through effective communication and positive
cooperation toward shared goals and dedicated efforts.
These same dedicated efforts are readily recognized
in the purpose and passion of The Green Dragon
Foundation. Foundation members’ genuine interest
and generous support of our students and our schools
has never been more evident. Their work illustrates
their stated mission, and the organization has indeed
enhanced our students’ experiences and assisted our
staff in myriad ways. We have been the beneficiaries
of their tireless work on our behalf. Whether it is public
campaigns to provide programs, concerted fundraising
to provide or enhance facilities, endowments to enrich
our programs, or provisional support for student needs
through Lifting Up Lewisburg, our relationship with
the GDF remains valued and steadfast. We continue
to thrive with the support of our community and the
foundation, and we remain grateful for this wonderful
relationship. With our partnership we truly aspire to
realize the GDF’s visionary words, “Unique Community-
Unlimited Opportunity.”
Sincerely,
Mrs. Cathy S. Moser
Superintendent of Schools
ABOUT US
The mission of The Green Dragon Foundation is to enhance our student experience, assist our teachers and staff,
and enrich our community by raising funds to support the priorities of the Lewisburg Area School District.
2022-23
IN REVIEW
Thanks to loyal and dedicated donors and
volunteers, the hard work of The Green Dragon
Foundation’s Board of Directors, Lewisburg Area
School District leadership, faculty and staff, the GDF
raised $402,242 during the last school year.
The additional revenue your gifts provide creates
exceptional opportunities for all Lewisburg students
and helps meet the needs of the most vulnerable
students. Endowments provide even greater
long-term support for our students; major gifts can
underwrite larger projects; and as annual support
increases, so do opportunities for our students.
The GDF is governed by a 25-member board of
directors (including advisors), led by executive
director Ann Glock. GDF benefited from the work of
56 volunteers who provided 358 hours of service.
Volunteers and the essential work that they provide
are a key factor that enables GDF to fulfill its mission.
We invite you to join our team! Contact the GDF
office at (570) 522-8433 or by email at: annglock@
greendragonfoundation.org to learn about volunteer
opportunities.
GIFTS TO LASD
Through the generosity of parents, alumni, businesses, and friends,
The Green Dragon Foundation supports Lewisburg Area School District
students, faculty, and programs in a variety of ways. In 2022-23, the
GDF provided or invested a total of $227,516 to benefit current or
future LASD students. GDF distributed $158,774 ($137,123 financial
and $21,651 in-kind) to the LASD and endowed an additional $68,742
for future programmatic support. These gifts will enhance and enrich
educational opportunities for all current students in the Lewisburg area
and for future generations.
LOOKING AHEAD
TO 2024
The GDF will continue to raise much-needed funds to
support the Lewisburg Area School District’s priorities.
Additionally, we will focus on helping meet the needs of
the most vulnerable students in our school community
who are supported through the Lifting Up Lewisburg
Quasi-Endowment.
The GDF Board of Directors, advisors, and volunteers
continue soliciting gift commitments for capital
improvement projects, multi-year support of LASD
programs, long-term investment through endowments,
and planned giving opportunities for future support.
In 2024 we will see the culmination of some of our efforts,
including the Dragons’ Den and the LAHS Greenhouse,
and we look forward to working with LASD administrators
to identify new fundraising priorities.

new LAHS Greenhouse.
ADDY RUMMEL:
Why I Serve
The Green Dragon Foundation is fortunate to have
many talented board members who have served the
organization over the past 15 years. Board members
and advisors faithfully attend quarterly or monthly
committee meetings in addition to board meetings
six times a year. Some board members take on
additional responsibilities that enable the foundation
to increase its support for education in Lewisburg.
One of the board members who goes the extra mile
is Addy Rummel.
Addy started as a volunteer with GDF in 2021.
Executive director Ann Glock knew that Addy’s
professional background in fundraising would make
her an asset to the organization. Addy began as a
board advisor serving on the Fund Development
Committee. She has been an integral part of
the SMART goal subcommittee which monitors
fundraising progress. Addy became a voting board
member in August 2022. Additionally, she chairs the
Special Events Committee, leading our volunteers
in planning events such as the Dragons’ Den 5K,
Kindergarten Grill-Out, and the Donor and Volunteer
Recognition Reception.
In addition to her GDF responsibilities, Addy is also
a devoted mother of four children in the Lewisburg
Area School District: Nora (9), Lulu (7), Cece (5), and
Austin (5). She and her husband Justin are originally
from Central PA and returned to the area in 2019
after living in the Washington D.C. area for 13 years.
Addy also serves as a committee chair for the
Lewisburg Elementary PSA and is on the board of the
Lewisburg Children’s Museum.
When asked about serving on the GDF board,
Addy stated, “I love being part of a community that
works to enhance the student experience in our
district. In our short time in Lewisburg, we’ve had the
opportunity to meet many of the individuals that help
make this community so great.”
Addy’s willingness to take on new tasks has made
her an essential member of the GDF team in a short
amount of time. The foundation is grateful to Addy
for her enthusiasm and dedication to education in
Lewisburg.
The LAHS Marching Dragons are on the move. From
their busy fall season to parades in the spring, their
mobility is essential. When it became apparent that the
22-year-old band truck could not safely and reliably
serve the needs of the band, LASD asked The Green
Dragon Foundation to raise funds for its replacement.
During marching band season, the truck is used each
weekend to transport band equipment to away football
games or home games at Bucknell University. The
equipment includes large percussion instruments,
rolling panels for the field show, and color guard flags.
The truck also pulls the band trailer, which is used to
transport additional band equipment. The truck is used
for local trips such as performances at Knoebel’s or
out-of-state multi-day trips the music department takes
every three years.
The LASD asked GDF to raise $30,000, about half
of the funds needed to purchase the new truck. The
foundation’s Fund Development Committee partnered
with the Lewisburg Area Music Association to identify
potential donors and raise funds at the district-wide
ExtravaBANDza concert in March 2023. Through
small and large donations from parents, former band
students, and local businesses, within a short amount
of time, the fundraising goal was met. The truck was
ordered to arrive for the beginning of the school year,
in August 2023. The vehicle was delivered early and
made its debut at the Union County Veterans’ 4th of July
Parade.
LAHS Band Director Dan Schwanger expressed his
gratitude saying, “The new truck is already in use for the
Marching Dragons and we have been very happy with
it. Students are utilizing the new vehicle’s features and
have been able to load/unload successfully for events.
The new truck is a huge improvement over the old one
in terms of hauling power, drivability, and fuel efficiency,
plus added safety features like a backup camera and
better mirrors help driver visibility. We are grateful and
excited to use the new truck to drive our equipment
to Washington DC in November, and its dependability
gives us peace of mind.”

Planning Your Gift
Financial gifts to The Green Dragon Foundation, a
501(c)(3) organization, make a difference for current
and future Lewisburg Area School District students
and facilitate opportunities for learning and growth
that would not otherwise be possible. It is through
the generosity of gifts like yours that our students are
served by GDF. Below is a list of the many ways a gift
can be made or planned.
• Outright Gift of Cash
• Matching Gift
• In-Kind Gift
• Outright Gift of Appreciated Securities
• Outright Gift of Real Estate
• IRA Assets
• Bequest
• Gift of Retirement Assets
• Gifts of Insurance Policy Proceeds
• Charitable Gift Annuity
• Charitable Remainder Trust
• Charitable Lead Trust
OUTRIGHT GIFTS OF CASH
The most common method of providing a gift, a cash
gift to GDF, is tax-deductible. You may donate online at
www.greendragonfoundation.org or you may send your
donation to: The Green Dragon Foundation, 115 Farley
Circle, Suite 306, Lewisburg, PA 17837.
A VARIETY OF
WAYS TO DONATE
MATCHING GIFTS
Does your company have a matching gift program? Many
employers will match charitable contributions made by
their employees. If your company has a matching gift
program, you could double or possibly triple your gift
quickly and easily.
IN-KIND GIFTS
Contributions of goods or services to either GDF or LASD
can provide an ideal giving opportunity for both donor
and recipient.
BEQUESTS AND OTHER PLANNED GIFTS
Bequests are provisions in wills to leave a gift to GDF.
Charitable bequests are fully deductible from the estate
and can significantly reduce estate taxes on the balance
of the estate. Bequests may be specified as a gift of cash
or securities, real estate, or other property. Alternatively,
they may take the form of a percentage of the total estate.
A donor may consider a residuary bequest, which is a gift
of all or a portion of one’s estate after other conditions
are met.
For more detailed information about charitable planned gifts
and the most advantageous ways to make them, please
contact The Green Dragon Foundation at (570) 522-8433 or
annglock@greendragonfoundation.org.
Reduce your Taxes
DONATE IRA ASSETS TO
THE GREEN DRAGON FOUNDATION
TURN YOUR REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS INTO CHARITABLE DONATIONS
The Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), also known
as the Charitable IRA Rollover, continues to be a tax-savvy
way to give for those who qualify. If you’d like to give to
help provide educational opportunities for Lewisburg area
students, the QCD can help you leverage your support—
and minimize your taxation.
This provision allows those who qualify to exclude
transfers of IRA assets made directly to The Green
Dragon Foundation from their taxable income and count it
toward their required minimum distribution.
To support Lewisburg students by making a QCD,
you must:
• Be 70 ½ years or older at the time of the gift
• Have a traditional or Roth IRA
• Transfer funds, not exceeding $100,000 per
year, directly from your IRA to GDF
Benefits include:
• Gifts make an immediate impact by advancing
GDF’s mission
• Gifts count toward your required minimum
distribution, now beginning at age 72
• Gifts are not included in, and therefore not taxed as,
income for federal tax purposes
• Gifts simulate an itemized income tax charitable
deduction for non-itemizers
• Gifts can be directed to support educational, cultural,
or athletic programs
HOW CAN I MAKE A QUALIFIED CHARITABLE
DISTRIBUTION TO SUPPORT GDF?
QCDs are easy; a simple letter of instruction to your
IRA administrator begins the process. We will provide
one for you, or you can visit the GDF website at
www.greendragonfoundation.org to download and
print the IRA form and instructions to share with your
IRA account administrator.
It’s important to consider your tax situation before
deciding whether to make a charitable contribution
from your IRA. Be sure to work closely with your
financial representative or tax advisor to determine
whether this tax provision is right for you.
This information is not meant as tax or legal advice. Tax laws are complex and
subject to change. Please consult a professional tax advisor to determine how
this law affects your situation.

FUNDING FOR FUTURE
GENERATIONS
OF STUDENTS:
The P. Joseph Keller Endowment
A named endowment is a unique way to remember
a loved one or honor an individual who has made a
significant impact in your life or in the community. Funds
can be directed to support programs that are important to
or reflect the interests of the person for which it is named.
The P. Joseph Keller Endowment was created in
February 2023 by Wayne and Sharon Stump (Class
of 1968) in honor of their great friend, Joe Keller, a
retired LASD high school teacher. The Stumps want to
ensure there are funds available to provide exceptional
educational opportunities for Lewisburg students, in
honor of Joe, who taught high school biology for 30 years
and helped with the school’s performing arts productions.
The fund supports STEM programs and the Performing
Arts for K-12 students in the LASD.
Joe began his teaching career at LAHS in 1960
and retired in 1990. He was a great teacher and is
remembered fondly by students for the positive impact
he had on their educational experience. He provided all
students, whether in his class or not, with understanding
and guidance. Joe continues to live in Lewisburg and is
active in the community.
Wayne described their reason for creating the
endowment saying, “Sharon and I established the Joe
Keller Endowment because Joe’s 30 years of teaching
demonstrated his dedication to professionalism, students
and Lewisburg Area High School. His interests in the
performing arts allowed Joe and Linda Dodd to co-direct
and establish the school musicals. Joe has continued
to be a very kind and caring member of the Lewisburg
community who was very involved through many
volunteer activities. We have been close friends and truly
appreciate his kindness and friendship all these years.”
The Green Dragon Foundation is proud to assist the
Stumps in creating this endowment to honor their friend
and assist future generations of students.

ENDOWMENTS: SUPPORTING STUDENTS
NOW AND IN THE FUTURE
An endowment is a gift that will provide funding in
perpetuity for the Lewisburg Area School District. The
principal funds are preserved, while a small percentage
(usually 4 percent) of funds is available each year for
distribution to the LASD. It is a perfect way to establish
an enduring legacy in honor or memory of a loved one. It
also creates a stream of permanent funding and can be
structured to benefit the donor’s particular interest.
The Green Dragon Foundation is focused on matching
donor interests to the academic, arts, athletic, and
support program opportunities that exist throughout
the district. To accomplish this goal, the GDF seeks
support for program-specific endowments, both general
and named, the income from which will support LASD
programming for the life of the fund. Endowment funds
allow our educators to be creative and innovative and can
therefore more fully engage students.
The GDF continues to work with donors to create
named endowments. To date, GDF has collaborated with
donors to establish 18 named permanent endowments.
Additionally, GDF has created seven endowments which
cover specific areas that LASD has identified. Four
quasi-endowments are invested but both their income
and principal may be spent as needed. The stories on the
following pages demonstrate how funds distributed from
these endowments were used to benefit students during
the 2022-23 school year. The impact on our students and
teachers cannot be underestimated.
If creating an endowment for the benefit of current and future
Lewisburg area students meets your philanthropic goals,
please contact the GDF for more information.

THE GREEN DRAGON FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2022-23
THE GREEN DRAGON FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2022-23 9

During the 2022-23 school year, The Green Dragon Foundation allocated funding to benefit Lewisburg area
students from 24 endowed funds. These funds have reached the minimum criteria to begin disbursing monies
to support their intended purpose—enhancing LASD programs, projects, and capital improvement projects. The
following stories highlight many of the programs that received funding from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
THE MILES MCKENNAN FOREMAN MEMORIAL ENDOWMENT
Lewisburg Studio
This flexible, district-wide endowment supported a variety
of programs. The Kelly Swim Program received $330.
This important program enables all 2nd grade students
to receive swimming instruction. $508 was provided for
the publication of Tarasque, LAHS’ literary magazine, for
which over 30 students submitted original literary and art
works for publication.
Tarasque is produced each spring. English teacher and
Tarasque advisor Tyler Russell thanked GDF saying,
“It made all the difference for us to be able to focus
on including even more art and writing in this year’s
This fund provides support to strengthen and maintain
programs primarily for poetry and the visual arts, including
photography, video, film, painting, drawing, ceramics,
and sculpture and, secondarily, to meet needs of the band
and performing arts. These are the types of activities that
enriched Miles’ education while he was a student at LASD
schools.
$1,382 was distributed from this fund to provide new
photography equipment for the Photojournalism class
at LAHS. Students in the class are responsible for creating
the LAHS yearbook and taking photos at numerous school
events throughout the year. Students benefited from new
cameras, zoom lenses, and storage equipment.
PROGRAMMING IN THE GARDEN: FARMBOT GENESIS XL
GDF approved funding for a farming robot to be used
in the new greenhouse to integrate technology and
agriculture. Students will program the FarmBot to
perform tasks that include watering, weeding, and
harvesting. Classes began using the greenhouse in fall
2023; we look forward to seeing what the students will
produce – literally!
The following endowments supported the FarmBot:
$1,600 from The Quasi-Endowment for Science; $1,091
from The GDF Endowment for STEM Programs, and
$384 from The Nathaniel Hafer ’96 and Christopher
Hafer ’99 Endowment for LAHS Science Curriculum.
THE GDF ENDOWMENT FOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Tarasque. With lots of beautiful full-color layouts and more
printed pages than ever, we couldn’t be prouder of the
finished book. Thanks to the generous support of The
Green Dragon Foundation, we were able to curate,
edit, and publish a beautiful showcase of the incredible
creative work happening at Lewisburg Area High
School.”
DIROCCO FUND FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
This fund was created by friends of former Lewisburg Superintendent
Dr. Mark DiRocco to provide funds for training and educational
opportunities to enhance professional skills for administrators,
teachers, and staff.
$1,444 was distributed to purchase mindfulness books for each
teacher at Kelly Elementary. The books, Breathe Like a Bear, Peaceful
Like a Panda, and Listen Like an Elephant, will be classroom resources
to help teachers incorporate mindfulness into daily class routines as
well as their work with students individually. The resources will also help
students deliver morning mindfulness messages each week.
THE MARYELLEN (CARTER)
AND RICHARD L. KEYSER
ENDOWMENT
The Keysers created this endowment to give Lewisburg
area students exceptional educational opportunities like
the ones the couple enjoyed as students in Lewisburg
schools.
This fund supports programs and initiatives for preschool and
elementary students to master literacy skills. These skills are crucial
building blocks for student success. The fund was created in 2016 by
Lily and Dave Openshaw in memory of Lily’s parents.
$1,032 was provided from this endowment to support elementary
reading during the summer Kelly Kick-Off program. Students who
are entering kindergarten are invited to spend several weeks over
the summer working on their pre-reading skills. Kelly teacher Lisa
Erdley expressed her gratitude, saying, “It truly makes a difference for
those timid students who often are ‘overpowered’ by their stronger
classmates. It also helps calm the new school/new school year jitters
and get students back into the school frame of mind!”
$2,000 was distributed to provide a bluegrass
workshop for middle and high school choral students.
Colebrook Road, a contemporary bluegrass quintet from
Harrisburg, worked with students during the morning and
afternoon, exposing them to bluegrass, Appalachian folk,
and country music. In the evening a concert was held for
parents and the public. Middle school music teacher Sarah
Tiede, who organized the event, felt that it was a great
experience for the middle school choral students to work
with a professional group, learn about different music
genres and collaborate with high school chamber choir.
The Keyser Endowment also provided $1,784 to support
the LAHS spring musical students’ trip to NYC. The
students were grateful to resume the trip to Broadway this
year after it was cancelled for several years due to Covid.
Approximately 50 students spent several hours exploring
the city and then enjoyed Little Shop of Horrors. The
experience of enjoying live theater in the city is something

THE LAHS GROWTH OPPORTUNITY AND
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT (GOLD) PROGRAM
After becoming aware of national statistics on teen
suicide, depression, and anxiety, several LAHS teachers
led by Claire Gault and Hillary Cree developed the GOLD
program for female and non-binary freshmen to help them
manage the unique challenges facing teens today. GOLD’s
focus was to foster empowerment, coping strategies and
community building through a fun and judgement free
“night in”. Over 40 students participated in the event
which included empowering speakers from the Lewisburg
community, small and large group sessions, and handson
creative activities. Feedback from students was very
positive, such as “I felt so connected”, “I am so glad I
came”, and “I felt like I was making a difference”. The
next GOLD program is being planned for the 2023-24
school year.
The GOLD Program received $4,402 from a variety
of sources, including Uniquely the Same - The Jusko
Endowment ($478). This endowment, created by
the Jusko family, provides funding for programs that
support the social, emotional, and physical wellbeing
of each student. Funding also came from the Lifting
Up Lewisburg Quasi-Endowment ($1,723) which
provides funding for the district’s most vulnerable
students. Remaining funding came from The Josephine
K. Machamer Steele Endowment ($210) and gifts
specifically designated for this purpose.
THE PAT COLLINS ENDOWMENT
This fund supports technology education, providing the types of hands-on
activities that Pat Collins ’49 enjoyed when he was a student in LASD schools.
He created this endowment to share his love of building and woodworking
with as many students as possible.
$2,311 was distributed to give eighth graders from Donald H. Eichhorn
Middle School the opportunity to visit SUN Area Technical School. Students
experienced hands-on activities in the various technical areas to learn what it
is like to attend SUN; most worked on a project to take home.
Principal George Drozin thanked the GDF saying, “Without the hands-on
portion of the trip to SUN, 99% of our students would have gone and zoned
out throughout. The engagement of the students, because of the hands-on
opportunities, made the trip a worthwhile learning experience for the kids.”
An additional $1,283 was distributed for the purchase of a laser printer for the
business and technology department at LAHS. See page 13.
THE LOIS J. HUNTER ENDOWMENT
This endowment provides annual funding to support district-wide science, music, performing
arts, and social/emotional health programs. It was created in 2019 by David M. Hunter Jr. in
memory of his wife, Lois.
$391 was provided to support LAHS choir students (left to right) Katie Kelley, Jonah Carney
and Summer Evans, who were accepted to the National Association for Music Education’s
All-Eastern Mixed Chorus Ensemble. The funding assisted with travel expenses to the
conference in Rochester, NY, in April 2023. This is a very prestigious honor and LAHS is proud
to have three students participate.

THE RIYA K. AND AAMAR S. JOHAL ENDOWMENT FOR
THE ENRICHMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
This fund supports district-wide environmental science
education in a variety of forms, including outdoor science
labs, research/teaching equipment, field trips, nature
trails, guest speakers, and other educational activities
related to this field.
$482 was distributed to purchase water testing kits,
alternative energy packs, and decoding materials
for second through fifth grade STEM programs. The
THE GDF ENDOWMENT FOR PERFORMING
AND VISUAL ARTS PROGRAMS
This fund provides district-wide support for performing
arts (choral, instrumental, musical, and dramatic theater)
and visual arts (photography, video, film, painting,
drawing, ceramics, and sculpture) programs.
$735 was distributed to purchase a keyboard for
orchestra instruction at Donald H. Eichhorn Middle
School. Students benefit from being able to hear their
parts played together and along with them during
microbit kits enable students to take coding to the next
level by working offscreen to code something that
functions. Fourth grade students will create data logs
to calculate energy consumption during their study of
alternate energy, and fifth graders will create prototypes
of wireless sensors to monitor ocean environments and
then design and create vehicles to clean up oil spills.
orchestra rehearsals. The additional $327 needed to
purchase the equipment came from The Shabahang
Family Endowment.
Mr. Anthony Fortuna, director of middle school and
high school orchestras, expressed his gratitude to GDF
saying, “I am so appreciative that The Green Dragon
Foundation was able to purchase a keyboard for my
instructional use with the DHEMS orchestra program.
I am now able to play piano accompaniments to solo
pieces and orchestral music, musically illustrate how
different parts fit together, and help the orchestras
keep a steady tempo throughout challenging sections.
Additionally, the keyboard helps to improve intonation by
always setting a steady established pitch, and the amp
ensures that the musicians will always be able to hear the
keyboard when the entire orchestra is playing.”
Additionally $258 was provided for choir students to
attend the All-Eastern Mixed Chorus Ensemble.
BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY LASER PRINTER
Funds from several endowments were combined to facilitate the
purchase of a laser printer for use in the business and technology
classes at LAHS. Students use the printer to create designs, and to print
and market their creations. They utilize business skills to plan marketing
and communication strategies and determine profitability. Students have
designed and made t-shirts for LAHS student-group events, including
the annual physics student trip to Hershey Park.
The following funds were used for the laser printer: $1,283 from
The Pat Collins Endowment; $1,186 from The GDF Endowment
for 21st Century Classrooms, which provides support for studentfocused
technology needs; and $928 from The GDF Endowment for
STEM Programs. An additional $928 was provided from donor gifts
designated for educational programs.

Donor & Volunteer
RECOGNITION RECEPTION
The Green Dragon Foundation held its annual Donor
& Volunteer Recognition Reception on September 18,
2022 to celebrate the GDF’s 14th year of support for
students and teachers, and the continuing excellence
of Lewisburg schools.
The event, held at Fero Vineyards in Lewisburg,
included special recognition of our dedicated
volunteers. Volunteers honored for five and 10 years
of service included: Elaine Dietrich; Marsha Knoster;
Cindi Martin; Jessica Olenginski; Jeff Ranck; and Don
Steele (10 years); and Brianna Apfelbaum Kula; Polly
Patterson; and Jennifer Reish (five years).
The highlight of the awards portion of the reception
was the presentation of the Volunteer of the Year
Award. This award was created in 2011 to recognize
a volunteer who went above and beyond in the
scope of volunteer efforts. This year, the award was
bestowed upon Abby Gulden-Luthi, Class of 2000.
Abby has been a key member of the Dragons’ Den
Fundraising Steering Committee and spearheaded
the inaugural Dragons’ Den 5K and Kids’ Run in May
2022. With the help of Abby’s effort and enthusiasm,
GDF has raised $378,695 (72 percent) toward
its fundraising goal of $525,000. Expressing her
gratitude for the recognition Abby stated, “GDF has
supplemented each of my children’s education
inside and outside the classroom. It is an honor
to be part of that.”
Also addressing the guests were Board Chair Bob
Kallin, Superintendent Cathy Moser, and School Board
President Virginia Zimmerman. An additional highlight
was a presentation by LAHS teacher Mike Creeger
and LAHS senior Olivia Hockenbrock on support of
the Future Business Leaders of America program.
They gave a firsthand account of how students
have been positively impacted by the opportunities
afforded to them through funding from GDF. The
Green Dragon Foundation thanks the sponsors who
make this event possible year after year.
THE BRANDON
KRAMM MEMORIAL
GOLF TOURNAMENT
On June 9, 2023, 140 golfers participated in The
Brandon Kramm Memorial Golf Tournament. Over
$18,000 was added to the Brandon Kramm Memorial
Quasi-Endowment for athletic programs or facilities at
LAHS. Kramm family and friends volunteer every year
to make this event a success.
KINDERGARTEN
GRILL OUT
The 8th annual Kindergarten Grill Out, where families
of incoming kindergarten children enjoy a light
dinner together, was co-hosted by The Green Dragon
Foundation and the Lewisburg Elementary PSA on
Aug. 17, 2022, at St. Mary’s Park. The yearly event,
held just before school starts, is an opportunity for
fellowship among incoming kindergarten children and
their families. Kelly Elementary Principal, Eric Wetzel,
and LASD Superintendent, Cathy Moser, greeted and
welcomed families.
DRAGONS' DEN 5K
On May 29, 2023, over 50 runners participated in
the 2nd annual Dragons’ Den 5K and Kids’ Run,
held at Lewisburg Area High School. Over $3,000
was raised to support the Dragons’ Den project,
which will provide much-needed restrooms and
concessions between the turf field and Brandon
Kramm Memorial Baseball Field. The GDF Special
Events Committee and many volunteers planned
and managed the fun event.

Student Perspective:
SUMMER
EVANS
Class of 2024
Like many LAHS students, senior Summer Evans is
constantly on the go. From academics and music to
part-time work, Summer stays busy but seems to do it all
with a smile. She values and makes the most of the many
opportunities at LAHS.
Summer is an accomplished music student participating
in band, choir, and the spring musicals. She was named
to the 2023 NAFME All East Honors Choir. The GDF was
proud to help provide funding for Summer and two other
students to travel to the conference, which was held in
Rochester, NY, in April 2023. Summer is also a member of
the Marching Dragons and is a flute section co-leader.
Summer’s real passion is theater. She participated in
several plays in middle school and continues to be
involved in plays and musicals in high school. Last March
she played the lead role of Sarah Brown in Guys & Dolls
and is looking forward to participating in Mary Poppins
in March 2024. Additionally, last spring, Summer helped
lead the Student Theater Collective, an all-student group.
She and another student organized and directed the
group in staging the play, Twelve Incompetent Jurors.
She hopes to direct another performance in spring 2024.
Since ninth grade, Summer has been involved in LAHS
Key Club. In 2022-23 she held the position of lieutenant
governor on the Key Club PA state board. Summer
and several other LAHS Key Club volunteers assisted
GDF by helping at the Kindergarten Grill-Out in August
2023. Summer and three of her peers have formed an a
cappella group called “The Sweet Adelines.” They shared
their talents at the GDF Donor and Volunteer Reception
in September 2023.
Summer is a member of the cross country and track &
field teams. She has been inducted into The National
Honor Society, The French Honor Society, and The Tri-M
Music Honor Society. Summer will graduate in June 2024.
She plans to attend college to earn a Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree, studying either musical theater or acting.
She eventually wants to earn a master’s degree and go
into directing.
Summer looked back on her experiences saying, “I
am very grateful for the incredible education and
opportunities I’ve received from my years here at
Lewisburg, and all the help I’ve gotten from The Green
Dragon Foundation. I will never forget the wonderful
memories I’ve made at our school!”
The Green Dragon Foundation established giving level societies to recognize the dedication and commitment of its

Why I Give:
LAUREN
GEMBERLING ’96
Lauren Gemberling ’96 hails from a long line of Lewisburg graduates, including
her father, Gerald Gemberling ’66, and his parents. Lauren began supporting
The Green Dragon Foundation in 2021. When Lauren’s father passed away in
January 2021, GDF was named as one of the philanthropic organizations to
which family and friends could make memorial donations. Gerald, a lifetime
resident of Lewisburg, planned many of his class reunions and served as a
Class Agent for the Class of 1966.
In 2022, Gerald was posthumously named a Distinguished Alumni by the LAHS
Alumni Association. From that point on, Lauren became a recurring monthly
donor through electronic fund transfer (EFT). Lauren said that GDF Executive
Director Ann Glock was very helpful in assisting her family with the donations
made after her dad passed away. The gifts made in his memory supported the
Dragons’ Den on the LAHS athletic campus.
After graduating from LAHS in 1996, Lauren attended Lafayette College and
was a member of the track team. She lived in the Washington D.C. area and
then in Philadelphia, and now makes her home in Conshohocken, PA. Lauren
currently works for CVS Health. Although Lauren has left the Lewisburg area,
she still travels back to visit family and is grateful for her upbringing and
education in Lewisburg. Lauren stated, “I have always been proud to be from
Lewisburg. My education and teachers in Lewisburg prepared me for the
next part of life. This still resonates with me.”
Lauren also noted that the monthly EFT is a great way for busy people to
manage their charitable contributions. She stated, “The EFT makes giving very
simple. The contributions go automatically and at the end of the year I receive
a statement with my total annual donation amount. This makes it easy to pay
it forward to new generations of Green Dragons.”
The foundation is proud to count Lauren among our many alumni donors who
want to give back to the Lewisburg community. If you have any questions
about EFT or memorial donations, please contact Ann Glock at
annglock@greendragonfoundation.org.

*deceased
kindergarten teacher Courtney Jamieson ʼ02. Courtney
and her husband, Kevin ʼ92, have been donors through
LASD’s payroll deduction program since 2011.
In 2021, Courtney presented to the GDF perhaps the most
original proposal for funding. She requested and received
funding for a Russian Tortoise for her classroom. Kazie,
as the tortoise was named, helps teach compassion and
responsibility. During the unit on plants, the class grew
lettuce and carrots to feed Kazie. Kazie has also been
known to help with art projects and loves to visit students
during morning meeting and seat work time.
Over the past few years, Courtney has experienced the
loss of several loved ones, including her grandparents
and father. She requested donations to be given to GDF
in their memory. Through the generosity of relatives and
friends, these contributions helped provide an adjustable
basketball hoop at the Kelly Elementary playground,
a tackling sled for middle school football, planned
improvements to the softball batting cage and of course,
Kazie and her habitat.
Courtney is grateful for the ways GDF contributes not only
to her Kindergarten class but to all students throughout the
district. You can follow Kazie’s classroom adventures on
her Instagram page @kazie_thekindergarten_tortoise.

Why We Support GDF
EPHRATA

Over the last 14 years Lewisburg students have benefited
greatly from the generosity of businesses that have made
donations through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement
Tax Credit program. During the 2022-23 school year, GDF
received $60,000 through the EITC program, supporting
innovative programs throughout the Lewisburg Area School
District. Ephrata National Bank has been an EITC partner for
Lewisburg students through its involvement in this program
since 2021.
When asked why Ephrata National Bank chose GDF as a
recipient of its EITC contributions, Danielle Beck, Vice President,
Director of Fiduciary Services, stated, “Ephrata National Bank
is thrilled to partner with GDF through the EITC Program to
assist in their mission of providing cutting-edge facilities,
equitable opportunities, and an advanced curriculum to
provide an environment where students grow, learn, and
thrive. ENB is committed to making a lasting impact on the
communities in which we live and work.” The GDF is very
grateful to ENB for their commitment to high-quality educational
opportunities for all students.

awards tax credits to eligible businesses that make contributions to educational improvement
organizations like The Green Dragon Foundation. A gift to GDF can provide your company with a
substantial tax credit—75 percent credit (against taxes owed) or, with a written two-year commitment
of equal funding, a 90 percent credit. For more information about the EITC program, please visit:
www.greendragonfoundation.org or call the GDF office at (570) 522-8433.
