Salvation Army needs YOU!!!

According to Major Fones from the St. Cloud Salvation Army, Kettle donations this season will be more important than ever. Due to apparent "giving fatigue" brought about by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the local Salvation Army is down $20,000 in their year-to-date donations from last year, so it is imperative that they make it up with their bellringer/kettle collections... (pretty hard to do when bozos like these ban bellringers at their stores).

So again, folks, when you pass a kettle, anywhere, anytime, be so kind as to be extra generous with your donations. I can assure you the Salvation Army is the genuine article with a genuine mission to help others in their most dire times of need.

And btw--a donation to my personal kettle (click on the logo on the top-left column) would go toward defraying the costs (i.e., legal etc.,) of the national and regional Salvation Army offices.
