Salvation Army

Walmart Retail Entrance

Sams Club


Gander Mountain


Ace Hardware

Our day has finally come Folks. I have received many e-mail messages asking what slots were open and where could they fit in. Well, we've taken your messages, filled in the slots that were available, created the charts and now we're ready to fill in the gaps.

This is a very exciting start as individuals and businesses have been chomping at the bit to get up there. Remember Folks, the sooner you put your name on the list, the longer your name remains on the list. In other words, FREE ADVERTISING.

Now don't go abusing it either because if someone simply puts their name up there and then regularly cancels, we're going to mark canceled in red. People will quickly get the idea. I'm confident that won't happen.

OK, we have a lot of work to do and little time to get it done. Can you help us. These charts will go up at least twice a day until they are full. Mind you, even when they are full I plan on posting them daily to advertise those people volunteering their time to support the Salvation Army.

It's a wonderful experience Folks. Even if you only have an hour you can spare to ring the bell, give it a try and you'll instantly become addicted and want more.

Salisbury News was responsible last year for two, (three) locations. I say two, they say three. Sam's Club and WalMart. Since WalMart has two entrances, they consider it two locations. Nevertheless, this year they have asked us to take on Gander Mountain, (which was a fantastic location last year and the shoppers were VERY giving). We have also been asked to work with our friends at Ace Hardware. This is a weekend only location, so if you live closer to Ace Hardware and would like to be under cover, (which is REALLY nice) Ace Hardware is the place to ring.

We have enjoyed doing quite a few promotions over the years with Ace and they have been extremely grateful for what we have delivered. That being said, we need to fill these charts just as fast as possible because this year the Sam's Club and WalMart locations will start 5 days later than last year. It has something to do with their national agreement but we're out 5 whole days and we simply cannot afford to have any open slots. I know you can understand the math there.

So please take a look at the charts and see what works for you. Now keep in mind that we will update these charts just as fast as we can and prime spots will go pretty fast, like weekends. If you don't fill the spot, I'll be doing it. The more I have to get out there and ring bells, the less news and information that goes up on Salisbury News. Sorry Folks but this is the very time I personally give back, if I must.

So please join us. Send me a request for a time and a place at alberobutzo@wmconnect.com and we'll get it up just as fast as we can. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!
