Volunteer Opportunity Saturday December 15th!  Please set aside an hour or two to ring the bell and collect money in the kettle for the Salvation Army.  We will be asked to ring the bell outside Three Bears on Pittman Rd from 10:00am to 7:00pm.  Jeff, with the Salvation Army, will drop off the kettle and bell at 10:20am and pick up the kettle and bell at 6:20pm.  We are responsible for the kettle at all times, so there must be a volunteer at every shift. :)

So far we have filled all shifts for the bell ringing opportunity except for times between 1-2pm, 2-3pm, 3-4pm. 

Thank you to Rich and Liz (10-11am), Kelly and Cathy (11-1pm), Cheryl and Marty (4-5pm) and (6-7pm), and Phil and Claire (5-6pm)!! 

If you can volunteer, please let me know at the next meeting.  We would really appreciate your help!
