Salvation Army Bell Ringing
Fellow Lions, ‘tis the season to spread good cheer and to follow on a long-enjoyed Denver Den tradition – ringing the bells for the Salvation Army.  We have enjoyed this activity which raises funds for the Army for many, many years, in good weather and sometimes not-so-good weather, but always in good cheer!  The Salvation Army continues their good work here in Denver and Colorado, working to assist the homeless and local families in need.
 
Last year, the Army reported that we raised $1,273 over our three day assignment, so this year we should do even better, as we are signed up for four days!  Our location will again be at the East Entrance of Macy’s in Cherry Creek, and the dates are December 15, 16, 22 & 23 from 12:30 PM – 6:30 PM.   We will work in two hour shifts with two people in each shift, so please call a fellow Lion (or friend or family, too!!) to share a shift and get to know them better, too.
Sign-up sheets will be out on the tables at our next two meetings – or – please call Lion Ned Nagle at (303)877-3183 or email him at nnagle4@comcast.net with any questions or to sign-up directly.  Thanks to all for continuing to support this wonderful community activity.
