a Thursday. I cannot believe it is almost Christmas. We are sneaking right
up on it. And I have Marcy joining me on the phone right now,
going to talk about the Salvation Army. We see them this time of
year, ringing the bells and have a little red kettles. We're going to
chat a little more about that. Marcy. How are you doing? John
great? How are you h I am fantastic. Now. You guys do
amazing things throughout the year, but this time of year people see you on
like in front of stores with the little red kettles, ringing the bells and
collecting money. It's been a long long time. Do you know when the
bell ringing started? When did they start doing this? You know, I
believe it was back like in the beginning of the nineteen hundreds. That actually
started in San Francisco. There was an officer and they had wanted to do
a Christmas Day meal and he went out with actually a black pot and a
kettle, and that's how it all started. He, you know, went
out and rang that bell and asked for donations so that they could provide a
Christmas meal in that community. And it's just grown since then, and it's
for every Salvation Army. It's one of our biggest fundraising events every year.
We try to raise about a third of our operating budget through this time.
So the donations not only go to help provide holiday assistants to those that are
in need and Christmas gifts to children, but it also supports our emergency food
pantry and our rent and utility assistance that we provide throughout the year. Well,
thank you for doing what you do. I think it's really really cool.
We're going to make sure we help spread the word and let folks know
how they can donate. Thank you again for taking the time to chat as
well, thank you for having me. Merry Christmas. Yeah, Merry Christmas
to you as well. And once again, if you're out and about doing
shopping locally, which we love that local shopping is very very good. So
if you're shopping at local stores and you're coming in and out and you see
one of the red kettles from our friends at the Salvation Army, if you
can throw some change in there, or better yet, fold up a bill
or two and stuff those in it, it's even better. And again,
if you're shopping online that doesn't get you out of this, you can still
help online as well. Sasouefalls dot org is the website you can go right
there. You can donate right online. I'm going to make it really easy.

Com. Good credit Cards Come time out for this day in Sue Fall's history,
brought to you by the Suit Falls Fun Page, West Sue Studios and
Sunny ninety three point three. It was on this day, December twenty first,
eighteen ninety, over one hundred and thirty years ago. Now Sue Falls
saw the beginning of a singing tradition that is still alive today, the Mini
Haha Man Score that is a Norwegian men's choir. The name of the group
is actually quite simple. It's from the Norwegian language, where the word mond
m and means men's and score sko r means choir. Obviously Minni Haha in
the name of the county that's where all of the original twenty one one members
of the group lived. Mini Haaha Man Score has been performing ballads, folk
songs, Christmas carols, and even some popular contemporary songs they've picked up in
the last one hundred and thirty plus years. Oftentimes, in the past they
would sing both Norwegian and English versions, although they have slowed a bit since
COVID Man score. Today rehearses at the Center for Active Generations and the perform
at venues all around the area. This day in seux Fall's history has been
brought to you by the seux Falls Fun Page, West Sux Studios, and
