It's almost kettle season!
Have you ever volunteered as a bellringer? Whether or not you've done it before, I encourage you to step-in and give it a try this year. This'll be my 13th season to ring, and it's a joy/blessing each time.
Why?
What's so great about being a volunteer bellringer?
--get to say Merry Christmas a lot..... even to the grouches!
--lots of smiling -- both giving & receiving
--greet people who may not have been recognized all day
--witnessing the excitement of little kids put a few pennies in the kettle
--have someone tell you their story of how The Salvation Army helped them
--knowing each hour you serve saves The Salvation Army $14 -- and often will generate more donations than an hour covered by a paid ringer
Please consider it. Lemme know if you have any questions about the opportunity.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
