Harrison January 16 Wedding Anniversaries I don t know what it is about ringing a Salvation Army bell that brings out the Spirit of Christmas in me. I get the whole Jimmy Stewart movie It s a Wonderful Life where every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings. In which case, on Saturday, December 12, 2017, the Rotary Club of Jasper certainly helped award a lot of wings. Jeff D.

Snell 2018 Club On-To Conference Chair Personally, I receive so much more than I give from doing from this service that I should pay them for the privilege. Seeing parents and grandparents teaching young children our American tradition of generous giving renews my faith in our people and gives me hope for our future. One Grandmother wanted a picture of her two lovely young granddaughters standing next to the Salvation Army Red Kettle. I took that picture and let the girls ring the bell. Kodak Moment!
