Greetings everyone.
Sometimes I'm too creative for my own good. As you may know, we are going to be competing with KSOK radio tomorrow - Friday, Dec. 7, - from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m., at Country Mart in Arkansas City, at bell ringing.
We will be ringing bells for the Salvation Army. The winner gets bragging rights, and of course we want to beat that radio station.
We will be at one door and the radio station will be at the other door. So come by and drop off some money, but be sure to do it in our buckets.
KSOK has said it will give away prizes, so we thought we had better up the ante as well.
Our very own Action editor, Sydney Bland, will be giving out kisses while she is there.
Also, everyone who donates $10 or more will get a chance to be in a drawing to put a pie in the face of a Traveler employee.
There will be two winners chosen and the winners get to choose from among certain Traveler employees, myself included.
The Salvation Army has had trouble getting enough bell ringers this year, and as a result, they are a bit behind in their fund raising. The "Red Kettle" campaign is their major fund raiser for the year.
They do a lot of good for people in need in our area. They also help with disasters such as tornadoes and floods.
Also, Country Mart will be donating some of its profits from the 4-hour period of bell ringing.

James this is a demonstration in leadership and using your voice and profile to help folks neeeding help. It makes the impression to see folks braving the elements for the good of the community. Also, what a great way to stimulate foot traffic to a local merchant.
It fits the challenge "show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works." Or, one might prefer the modern version, "when all is said and done there is usually more said than done." Thank you guys.
