by Kieron Kramer
Berliners received some news of great generosity at the Berlin Town Board meeting on June 9. Margaret Kinn, who lived next to the Town Hall, has left Berlin a total of $30,000 in her will, $25,000 for general use by the Town and $5,000 earmarked for the Youth Commission. Town Supervisor Rob Jaeger said that the money given to the Youth Commission would be booked in a separate budget line to keep the funds segregated for Youth Commission use only. It has not yet been determined how or when the $25,000 will be used. There will be some delay in obtaining the funds since the will must be probated. Margaret Kinn died on May 16, three weeks shy of her 101st birthday.
