BELL RINGER(S)
Posted by Bill Proctor on Aug 22, 2016
Last Thursday, Cheryl Ewing was selling tickets at the Market.  Her daughter was going to help her take down the canopy at the end of the day but got called into work.  Cheryl sent out an email asking for help and many responded.  Today's Bell Ringers are Alasdair Douglas who went to help and all of those who volunteered.
