December 17, 2011 - Salvation Army Bell Ringing
Once again our Gainesville-Haymarket Rotary club came out to ring the Salvation Army bells in support of the Red Kettle Christmas Campaign that enables the Army to provide food, toys, and clothing to over 6 million people during the Christmas season and to help more than 34 million Americans recovering from all kinds of personal disasters nationwide. In the past few years our Rotary club got help from the Battlefield High School Interact club. This year we are blessed with help from the Battlefield High School Interact club and from the new Patriot High School Interact club. Members of the Rotary club and of the two sponsored Interact clubs worked in two-hour shifts in front of the Giant in Gainesville from 10 AM to 6 PM on Saturday, December the 17th.
