LOOKING FOR A CHARITABLE OPPORTUNITY AT HOLIDAY TIME?

On two consecutive Saturdays in December, December 16 and 23, Brothers from our Valley will ring bells to help fill Salvation Army kettles.

If you can donate a couple of hours (or a day) to collect money to support those in need — people who range from infants to the elderly, our Thrice Potent Master, Richard W. Pettengill, 32° can use you.

He’s got a theme. “Men in Tuxes,” so wear a tux, or a dark suit and tie, and get into the fun of it.

Rich says, “Thanks from me for giving the most precious gift of all, YOUR TIME, as your time, unlike money, can never be regained.”

Contact TPM Rich Pettengill at Richard@ccbgroup.org to sign up. Wives, sweethearts, and children are welcome to ring with us.
