The Salvation Army's "Ministry of Bells" will always hold a very special meaning to me. I first volunteered to "help out" many years ago when Chief John Green asked me to. At that time my boys were about 7 and 4 years of age. From that very first time until recently I took two hours and "rang the bell" with my boys which opened the Christmas season for us. My boys are now 24 and 20 and although I still try to get them to volunteer they are often "too busy" these days. However I will always have all those special memories of me and my boys standing in front of ACME or K-MART with hot chocolate and greeting holiday shoppers while we helped out those in need.
