Speaker 1: is right now with mister John Mogan and we've got
Speaker 1: kind of a fun thing that they do every year
Speaker 1: for the Salvation Army and tomorrow is the big day,
Speaker 1: isn't it John? It is if people want to make
Speaker 1: a difference, and there's a lot of people throughout the
Speaker 1: year they're going, Man, I'm just one person. There's not
Speaker 1: much I can do. Well. If you want to make
Speaker 1: a difference, tomorrow, your difference can go a little further
Speaker 1: than normal. And let's talk about what that is that
Speaker 1: you can do tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I think it was about fifteen sixteen years ago that
Speaker 2: a president of our board, his name is Steve Cooks.
Speaker 2: He came up with an idea of making the donors,
Speaker 2: the people that are support the Salvation Armies to do
Speaker 2: a match day and so their money would go farther.
Speaker 2: And so he came up with the twenty dollars match.
Speaker 2: Then it used to be a twenty dollars bill would
Speaker 2: be matched by twenty dollars. Now it's a twenty dollars
Speaker 2: bill will be matched by an additial eighty dollars, so
Speaker 2: to be a one hundred dollars donation.
Speaker 1: And I think that's really cool because there are people
Speaker 1: who would probably love to donate one hundred dollars, but
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, I just you know, things aren't great,
Speaker 1: so I don't have the one hundred bucks to give.
Speaker 1: If you can give twenty tomorrow, it's like you gave
Speaker 1: a hundred right exactly.
Speaker 2: There are a bunch of us on the board, and
Speaker 2: there's some anonymous donors that have come up with the
Speaker 2: seed money so that people's donations will will satisfy a
Speaker 2: lot of families helping to pay for their rent, their food,
Speaker 2: their heat, electricity. There are a lot of families out there.
Speaker 2: Last year we had six hundred families that came to
Speaker 2: the Salvation Valary. This year seven hundred and fifty. And
Speaker 2: so we need more money and buy more grocery.
Speaker 1: And again, the things that you do throughout the year,
Speaker 1: these are things you do all year long. It doesn't
Speaker 1: happen just during the holidays, during the holidays, there's a
Speaker 1: little more of a need, but this is something that
Speaker 1: happens all year long, so the need knows no season.
Speaker 1: But if you are looking for a reason to make
Speaker 1: a donation, tomorrow is a great reason. Your twenty dollars
Speaker 1: goes five times as far it gets turned into one hundred.
Speaker 1: How do I make a donation tomorrow, John, There's.
Speaker 2: Probably thirty five buckets that will be out throughout sea falls.
Speaker 2: Just take a twenty dollars building all of those buckets.
Speaker 2: I'm a little prejudice filled the self going to stow
Speaker 2: a HIV because that's the one that I've been staffing
Speaker 2: on every Saturday for like twenty five years. But that's
Speaker 2: just a little personal thing. But wherever you find your bucket, yeah,
Speaker 2: your money's going to quick couple.
Speaker 1: And again, tomorrow is the day. So any day, if
Speaker 1: tomorrow doesn't work, make your donation today. Any day that
Speaker 1: you see the red buckets out, the red kettles from
Speaker 1: the Salvation Army, any day is a good day. You're right,
Speaker 1: But tomorrow is a special day because tomorrow, in addition
Speaker 1: to the funds that you're giving, there's again there's a match,
Speaker 1: and it's not just a twenty dollars match. Now it's
Speaker 1: an eighty dollar match for your twenty dollars donation. I mean,
Speaker 1: what an awesome opportunity for your dollars to go even
Speaker 1: further to do the good things of the Salvation Army
Speaker 1: and John, how long have you been involved at the
Speaker 1: Salvation Army and Two Falls.
Speaker 2: Well, I've been ringing bells for over twenty five years,
Speaker 2: but I've been on the board for eighteen years, ever
Speaker 2: since I retired from teaching music.
Speaker 1: And speaking of music, a lot of people know you
Speaker 1: from music. They see you Mogen's heroes. You've been doing
Speaker 1: that for a long long time. And if you're not
Speaker 1: standing behind a microphone, you're standing behind a red kettle.
Speaker 1: It seems because you have been doing this for a
Speaker 1: long time as well.
Speaker 2: It's very satisfying. I love greeting people when I'm ringing bells.
Speaker 2: Sometimes those people that try to avoid you as because
Speaker 2: they're not going to give those might be the people
Speaker 2: that are going to receive those funds and other people
Speaker 2: are donating. So yeah, I don't judge, just smile and
Speaker 2: greet them.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, again, not everybody is in a
Speaker 1: position to do that. So if that's not you. That's okay,
Speaker 1: don't feel bad. Nobody ringing a bell has ever made
Speaker 1: anyone feel bad for not being able to do that,
Speaker 1: because that again, the reason they're ringing that bell is
Speaker 1: to help people that are in a situation. So again,
Speaker 1: if you can't throw money in the bucket, that's okay,
Speaker 1: it's all fine. But if you can, and if you're saying, man,
Speaker 1: I really wish that I could, I wish I could
Speaker 1: donate more, tomorrow is the day to do that. Your
Speaker 1: twenty dollars donation becomes a one hundred dollars donation and
Speaker 1: that's at any Red Kettle in Sioux Falls. But again,
Speaker 1: which one will you be manning? What time will you
Speaker 1: be there? John, so we can stop buy and stuff
Speaker 1: it in your bucket.
Speaker 2: I'll be there from eleven to twelve at the Salts Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Hide nice. Well, we'll stop by and say hi and John,
Speaker 1: thank you for your continued support of the Salvation Army.
Speaker 1: And you've been involved in this for a long time.
Speaker 1: How did you get involved in why did you get
Speaker 1: involved in doing what you do?
Speaker 2: Oh, when you see people in need, you want to
Speaker 2: help out. And so at first member of First Baptist Church.
Speaker 2: I'm John the Baptist, So there you go. And we
Speaker 2: we staffed it all with members from the church and
Speaker 2: over the years it has been mostly some people from
Speaker 2: the church that others from mostly my Facebook trends.
Speaker 1: That's really cool. Well I'm going to throw a post
Speaker 1: on Facebook to remind people as well. But tomorrow is
Speaker 1: the day. John, thank you for your time this morning.
Speaker 2: Thank you John for helping us promote this.
Speaker 1: Absolutely always happy to do that again. John Mogan is
Speaker 1: who we're talking to right now from Mogan's Heroes and
Speaker 1: also chatting about the Salvation Armysouo Falls. Tomorrow is the
Speaker 1: big day. It's the twenty dollars match day. So if
Speaker 1: you donate twenty dollars tomorrow at any of the red
