Members of SCV Camp 1524 manned a Salvation Army red kettle in front of the Winn Dixie on Saturday December 14th as part of their annual holiday and community service activities. The first shift that morning had to improvise a bit as the kettle was late being delivered so Brigade Commander Waldo, Treasurer Leverette and Adjutant Sutherland positioned a little box for donations in front of the tripod holding the Salvation Army signage. A continuous loop of hand bell ringing was played by smartphone thru a portable bluetooth speaker to provide the requisite bell ringing sound to alert shoppers that Salvation Army donations were being accepted. The kettle was delivered before the end of this shift and the e-bell ringing and cardboard box were retired. The second shift was comprised of Scott Roberson, Lee James, Todd Rogers and his son. The third shift saw Chaplain Brantley, Tyrone Crowley, Sam Reed and Rob Schwartz man the kettle and for the last shift that evening Dale Boyles, Thomas Griffith, Quartermaster Bill Myrick and 2nd Lt Karl Wade, who coordinated the camp's effort, closed the donations receipts. A lot of money was received to support the good work the Salvation Army does and it was another example of the positive work the Dragoons do for their neighbors and community.
