'TIS THE SEASON

The red Salvation Army kettles are all around our town once again this season. I spent a few hours last week manning one of the kettles. I was a bit curious to see how the turbulent economy would effect the contributions. I was pleasantly surprised that once again, about 75 to 80% of the people passing by my kettle stopped to drop something in. Most folks folded their contribution to fit in the slot, while others dropped their pocket change into the kettle.
All in all, it was once again a joyous time in my life. It's one of the small things I can do this time of year to help make a difference. To all the folks who have contributed to the red kettle drive - a BIG THANK YOU! You are appreciated!
