For Whom The Bells Toll

Posted by Sr. Thomas Sawyer

Another shift and another dedicated team. In spite of having spend two hours in the cold, sharing stories with shoppers and keeping the giving going Steve Ellis and Vera Cassinelli still had enough energy to raise the bells high one more time for our roving photographer. Great job team. I think we all had a great day on the kettle.

Interview With The Stars- As featured in the page one Bell Ringing story in Sunday's Milford Daily News. "Across town at Kmart, Milford Rotary Club members Vera Cassinelli and Steve Ellis took their turns manning another Salvation Army bucket. Armed with a larger bell that drowned out his stationmate's, Ellis attempted to ring out the song "Jingle Bells." "It really is fun," he said. "That's why we come back every year," added Cassinelli. She then suggested they mix things up and play "Angels We Have Heard on High." "It's the same rhythm," Ellis explained." What great ammunition for our fine master -if it wasn't all just for charity. I think they earned a pass. Maybe we can charge them a Happy Fine.
