going to talk about the Salvation Army. We see them this time of

28
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.719
year, ringing the bells and have
a little red kettles. We're going to

29
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.159
chat a little more about that.
Marcy. How are you doing? John

30
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.280
great? How are you h I
am fantastic. Now. You guys do

31
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.719
amazing things throughout the year, but
this time of year people see you on

32
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.360
like in front of stores with the
little red kettles, ringing the bells and

33
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.479
collecting money. It's been a long
long time. Do you know when the

34
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.479
bell ringing started? When did they
start doing this? You know, I

35
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.560
believe it was back like in the
beginning of the nineteen hundreds. That actually

36
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:27.479
started in San Francisco. There was
an officer and they had wanted to do

37
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.840
a Christmas Day meal and he went
out with actually a black pot and a

38
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.400
kettle, and that's how it all
started. He, you know, went

39
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.800
out and rang that bell and asked
for donations so that they could provide a

40
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.759
Christmas meal in that community. And
it's just grown since then, and it's

41
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:47.199
for every Salvation Army. It's one
of our biggest fundraising events every year.

42
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.439
We try to raise about a third
of our operating budget through this time.

43
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:57.439
So the donations not only go to
help provide holiday assistants to those that are

44
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.560
in need and Christmas gifts to children, but it also supports our emergency food

45
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:06.719
pantry and our rent and utility assistance
that we provide throughout the year. Well,

46
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.240
thank you for doing what you do. I think it's really really cool.

47
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.719
We're going to make sure we help
spread the word and let folks know

48
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.439
how they can donate. Thank you
again for taking the time to chat as

49
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.639
well, thank you for having me. Merry Christmas. Yeah, Merry Christmas

50
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.719
to you as well. And once
again, if you're out and about doing

51
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.319
shopping locally, which we love that
local shopping is very very good. So

52
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:28.000
if you're shopping at local stores and
you're coming in and out and you see

53
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.240
one of the red kettles from our
friends at the Salvation Army, if you

54
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.960
can throw some change in there,
or better yet, fold up a bill

55
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.520
or two and stuff those in it, it's even better. And again,

56
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.879
if you're shopping online that doesn't get
you out of this, you can still

57
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.960
help online as well. Sasouefalls dot
org is the website you can go right

58
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.240
there. You can donate right online. I'm going to make it really easy.

59
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.599

brought to you by the Suit Falls

68

Sunny ninety three point three. It
was on this day, December twenty first,

69
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.959
eighteen ninety, over one hundred and
thirty years ago. Now Sue Falls

70
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.279
saw the beginning of a singing tradition
that is still alive today, the Mini

71
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.439
Haha Man Score that is a Norwegian
men's choir. The name of the group

72
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.920
is actually quite simple. It's from
the Norwegian language, where the word mond

73
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:57.399
m and means men's and score sko
r means choir. Obviously Minni Haha in

74
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.600
the name of the county that's where
all of the original twenty one one members

75
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.000
of the group lived. Mini Haaha
Man Score has been performing ballads, folk

76
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.360
songs, Christmas carols, and even
some popular contemporary songs they've picked up in

77
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.120
the last one hundred and thirty plus
years. Oftentimes, in the past they

78
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.399
would sing both Norwegian and English versions, although they have slowed a bit since

79
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:21.079
COVID Man score. Today rehearses at
the Center for Active Generations and the perform
