Rotary Bell Ringers are out Helping the Salvation Army
Every year for the past nine or ten years The Norristown Rotary Club gives the Salvation Army seasonal bell ringers the day off and step in the weekend before Christmas. It is typically aa very large collection day and often the coldest day of the year also.
Normally the club collects at multiple doors at Walmart in Trooper. This year. Walmart was remodeling and had only one entrance.
So, Project Chair Judy Bucko arranged to collect at both Walmart in Trooper and Redner's in Audubon.
Also, retired Salvation Army Major Fred Hagglund and his wife Major Ruth Aston Hagglund brought their instruments and played during an extended shift and treated shoppers to Christmas Carols. Since we are experiencing a pandemic, the club was masked and observed social distancing guidelines. Also a gift containing hand sanitizer, gloves and a mask were distributed to the shoppers this year.
