Playing for the Salvation Army

Saturday, 15 December 2007

There would be either 1 or more people standing outside the big shopping centers, ringing their bells.

The Salvation Army are collecting donations to help the poor, to buy them food, toys and clothes for the Christmas season. This collection usually starts after the Thanksgiving Day and ends the day before Christmas.

After the "Wreaths Across America" ceremony at the Yuma Armed Forces Park, we drove to the Sam's Club. There were 3 young girls ringing their bells. Most of the people who inserted their money into the donation box were seniors.

Mike wanted to help with the donation by playing his bagpipes. I thought that was sweet of him. In a way, the music did draw people to the spot!

He did the same outside the Wal-Mart after that!
