Happy Dollars

  • Conni Eckstein gave a Happy Dollar to thank Jennifer Beckett for sharing her loaning her bell ringing gear at Sam's last Saturday. 
  • Keith Busking gave a Happy Dollar to thank all of the bell ringers and those who have signed up. Our location at Sam's is outside this year so everyone needs to bring cold weather gear.  Keith and Bill Wallace appreciate volunteers sending them their photos and posting them on Facebook.
  • Michael Ridgeway gave five Happy Dollars for those in his family who are nurses and for all of themedical community who "deserve gratitude for what they’ve gone through this year." He had knee surgery yesterday and in the written instructions from the doctor it said all healing comes from God and that the doctor prayed for Michael before surgery and will continue after surgery.
