December 24th Christmas Eve ERI and Alumni

Thank you to all the alumni who came and rang with the current ERI's and played Betty Garee's Stille Nacht.We started a new tradition of playing Kevin McChesney's Sing We Now of Christmas as the postlude. There were also many alumni who were at the service thought they did not ring. It was great to see all of you.

Invisible Children Organization.

The Invisible Children is an organization that is raising awareness of the horrific acts occurring in Uganda, a country in Eastern Africa. The children are being taken from their homes and forced to fight in a rebel army in the Ugandan wilderness, war that is the longest running war in Africa. These children are taken as young as 6 years old and experience awful acts of hate and violence. This army raids villages and kills many innocent people throughout the country. No child should be forced to commit or watch these acts of horror.
