PA Salvation Army Kettle Gets Anonymous 3 Thousand Dollars 
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

As a sidenote, I'm glad I was not alive when things were this sexist...! Thanks for the images to sacollectables.com.

What a happy story!  An 18-year-old boy was volunteering as a bell ringer at a Pottsville, Pennsylvania mall on Monday got an anonymous $3,000 donation from an "older man with glasses, a flannel shirt and jeans," the AP reports. It wasn't the first time the man had made a donation, said Andrew J. Hunt, the Salvation Army volunteer, but it was the first time he gave three thousand dollars!

Andrew said he wanted to thank the man in person, but doesn't know his name.  The Salvation Army of Pottsville, PA has $6,000 for it's "Red Kettle Goal" this year, so they are already at least halfway there.

To see all of the many ways you can help The Salvation Army of the US make a difference this holiday season, visit SalvationArmyUSA.org .  On their homepage, you can watch Kelly Clarkson's new video message (with background Christmas music!) about how the sound of a ringing Salvation Army bell is a "sound of hope" for thousands of people in need.

Or, you can stop by ConnieTalk's own online red kettle, and drop in a penny or two!

You can even host your own online Red Kettle...here's the link if you'd like to join our team kettle and post it on your website of MySpace page, all proceeds to go to the US Salvation Army!
