Quotes from bell ringers:
"I was ringing the bells for The Salvation Army in a supermarket. I ring with gusto - perhaps too much gusto. The bell broke off. It flew towards a donor. Fortunately, it hit no one, but it left me holding a handle of bell. A handle tends toward the quiet side.
The bell was beyond repair without the use of tools. What could I do? I shook the handle and made the motion as though I was ringing the bell. As I did so, I said: 'Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.' We make do."
"It was so nice when we got to Lund's to find not only the perfect number of bells but a nice note thanking us for ringing. It was a little cold but we were dressed pretty well and just needed to move our feet every now and then to keep them warm. We found most people to be very friendly and generous. The kids counted how many people put money in the kettle and we had 40 people in a little over 2 hours. (When we got to 37 by 5:00 we decided to ring until we had 40 donors.) We had a great time and hope the donations were a blessing to SA."
"For over 25 Years this Holiday Event has been among our Lions Club most favorite. Most feel that their Holiday just isn't complete unless they've done some Bell Ringing at the Red Kettles."
"I've enjoyed being a Bell Ringer and
supporting the Salvation Army! Had nice "Thank Yous" from several
people, some of whom were recipients of the Salvation Army help. God
Bless You - Merry Christmas!"
