They sang many of our favorites and were a joy to behold.

A Thank You to Bell Ringers from Kiwanis
Please express my sincere gratitude to all the ladies of the Tri-Lakes Women’s Club that supported the 2021 MHKC Salvation Army Bell Ringing Campaign. Your dedicated ringing at Walmart West on Wednesdays garnered $1,677.15 which helped us achieve a Grand Total of $32,109.39 for this year’s support. Captain Hanson, head of the local SA, assures me that the support received from the Tri-Lakes community continues to surpass all other groups supporting their Bell Ringing Campaign.
Thank you again and I look forward to continuing our joint endeavors.
Sincerely, Ron Mangiarelli
Monument Hill Kiwanis Club, Bell Ringing Project Manager
