THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Have you looked at the charts we've been providing for the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign!
The slots are filling up and we're so proud to publish these updates with your company names on them for the next month and a half.
Bell Ringing starts in just TWO DAYS! That's right, this Friday many locations get started and we need your help Folks. In the past 50 years the Salvation Army had to pay Bell Ringers and this took away from the money they could use to help literally thousands of Families right here on the Eastern Shore.
This is worth repeating. I believe the Salvation Army feeds some 8,000 Families over Thanksgiving and Christmas. They also provide gifts for these same individuals and this year the list has grown even more. Times are very tough right now and with your help, your donated time, we can fulfill so many children's dreams of a gift under the tree for Christmas.
Not ONE single gift says Salvation Army on them. These gifts are picked up by the Parents and they children are told it was brought by Santa.
Please consider giving an hour of your time this year to volunteer and ring the bell at a convenient location to you. Believe me when I tell you, you'll enjoy that time more so than any other time throughout the Holidays.
If you'd like to volunteer for a slot at any of the above locations please, send your request to ringabell4tsa@verizon.net or call Kettle Campaign Headquarters 410-749-RING (7464). Thank you, to all that have so generously volunteered their time to this worthwhile campaign.

Think we will see Webster out there this season?
I would like to think that everyone from the city and county government will be ringing the bell this year...elected and employees alike. If we could all put our differences aside for just an hour for something as worthwhile as this think what could be accomplished.
