Salvation Army Bell Ringing 2012

The Rotary Club of Excelsior carried on the tradition of Bell Ringing for the Salvation Army on Tuesday, December 4th at the Cub Store in Shorewood from 2:00 to 6:00pm.  The weather was mild and the spirits of our 16 member volunteers were high as they collected donations to help in the good works of the Salvation Army.

Our Excelsior Rotary Volunteers were Darel Liepold, Dick Glover, Molly Swenson, Terry Roeser, Don Draayer, Christie Lodge, Tom Anderson, Jerry Brecke, Jim Hillis, Glen Froberg, Jean Gray. Woody Love, Bob Humphrey and Karen and Steve Frazier.  Steve provided music for the event by playing 35 traditional Christmas Carols and songs during the first and last one-hour shifts of the event.

The Rotary Club of Excelsior would like to thank our member volunteers for their committment of "Service Above Self" and to event coordinator Karen Frazier.  Karen commented that "People were very generous this year.  In fact they gave so much that we had to get a stick to push down the donations in the kettle so that we could more donations in it.  What a great cause to be involved in and to do it with our great club members!"
