• Salvation Army Bell Ringers Needed
  The bell ringing project is progressing but more bell ringers are needed. There are 5 one hour time shifts still available and it would be great to fill them ASAP. There are two people per shift. All one needs to do is show up, be cheerful, and ring a hand bell. We will be at the Nob Hill in Capitola on December 3rd. You can come by yourself, with your special person, friend, neighbor, or whoever. They do not need to be a Rotarian, anyone is welcome. Please contact Randall Leonard via Club Runner if you're available to support this cause.
